    So the ability of CFX board to run at 7 volts is for traditional in-hilt LED style (xpe2, Cree, tri-reb, etc)?
    Huh.
    I guess I will try to sell the 7v 13650.

    What if I wired 2 of the 15a 3.7v 18650 in parallel to double the run time?

    Just plan your build for removable batteries. Will save you lots of headaches.

    Yeah, agreed with FJK here. Independent charging of your parallel cells could be problematic and potentially dangerous. Run time is an easy cat to skin, adding more batteries inside your hilt isn't necessarily the easiest/safest way to accomplish that.

    Yeah I agree. I have rc trucks that run on Lipo amd the chargers are able to do individual cells in a 3 cell pack. I dont think we are there yet with sabers but a Lipo would be awesome... Just dangerous like holding a grenade.
    Thank you gents.
