Hi squamisheric, welcome to BLF!
dchomak, that’s the one. Thanks!
I had the 5W version of that light. They are essentially the same light. The good thing about them is they are a decent host. I didn’t have the switch problem in mine, but it doesn’t surprise me.
User devdvr also bought one and rebuilt it. I bought it from him when he recently sold it. A very nice light when modded.
The battery that comes with it is right around the rated 1200mAh. I will caution you that even though it states protection PCB on the side, it does not have any protection circuit in there.
You can find much better batteries for good prices on Fasttech.com. Protected Panasonic and Sanyo cells are very highly regarded, and you can use the charger you have with them. If you get two weeks with that cell, you could go a month with a 2600mAh or 3100mAh cell.
I will also provide a link to a much brighter C8 that I have ordered and is on the way. The Convoy C8 from Fasttech. The Convoy line of lights has, so far, impressed just about everyone (three links) who has received one.
