Card image from manual, switch image found online.
Anyways, upgrading from removable 14500 + dummy cell in a dual AA battery holder, to an 18650 with recharge port and chassis.
Page 8 has a small picture saying which wires get connected to the various legs on the recharge port.
Page 9 shows how to wire the card with an 18650. Attached is my attempt at combining the 2 elements.
PS: non-illuminated switch, so only one resistor14947

You will be better with the .5 ohm resistor the rest seems fine though.

Double checking stats & my math...
According to this page: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Luxeon-Rebel-Star-P523.aspx
the royal blue rebel has FV of 3.2, & should be run @ 1000 mA. Single Li-ion batts output 3.7V (average).
Ohm's law (more specifically, the resistor calculator in Silver Serpent's signature) is telling me I need a 1 ohm, 2 watt resistor.
Previously I was calculating based on 700mA LED current (which was a mis-reading on my part of the above linked page's info)

The resistor calculator in my signature doesn't return values less than 1 ohm.

That being said, either a 0.5 ohm or a 1 ohm resistor will work fine. It's unlikely you'll notice any difference without a light meter.
