18350 Li-Ion batt - where?

[SSP]

Have you tried Battery Guys?

Two of those will drive an Elzetta Bravo bored body to 900 lumens where the 18650 will probably only get to

Awesome! Are you getting it bored locally or importing from oveready? I wanted to do the same to mine, but I'd much rather let you be the guinea pig;)

I want to give it a try and see how it performs. I guess run times will not be great but should equal CR123 run times?

In order of runtime:

2x RCR123 = 1500mAh
2x 18350 = 2400mAh
2x CR123 = 3000mAh
1x 18650 = 3400mAh

Dammit no and I know I should have thought about that myself - thanks SSP.

I already got it bored and tried the 18650 and it works no problem. The 18650 gives less top end lumens than the 2 x CR123 but nevertheless imo the 18650 is a good option for someone who has economy in mind more than top end output.

Inside diameter should be 18mm according to Oveready. I had it done by friend as r&d so I have no idea what cost would be.

We are placing a new order with Elzetta and I will get some extra Bravo bodies for purposes of boring for customers who may wan the option.

Hi Khumba,

My apologies if this is a bit of a necro post. Only saw this now.

I really enjoy my Elzetta that I got from you. When are you getting those bored Bravo bodies? Please put me on the list.

The only good quality 18350 battery I know of is made by KeepPower. At 900mAh it has much more capacity than an RCR123/16340. Word of caution though - 2 KeepPower 16340s that I bought was slightly too long for the Bravo. That might or might not be the same for the 18350.

Another option for the standard Bravo is a 17670 or 16650 battery. Both are narrow enough to fit. I bought some AW 17670s from oveready.com but at 1600mAh the runtime is quite sparse. The KeepPower 16650s I bought from illumn.com has a capacity of 2500mAh and gives a decent runtime.

I will check on the process of the bored bodies.
