UltraFires and Lux V's

[Malaki Skywalker]

Hey guys, I've been looking at some projects people have been doing recently, they are using some Ultrafire 800mAh 14500's, what sort of run times with a Lux V do people get? Would it be worth buying some for a lux V?

I'm guessing it would be a poor choice because of the run times? Either way, my saber could do with the extra space

Cheers!

Personaly I'v seen nothing good about them. But I have seen them work.

Being that I use Li-Ion all the time, all I can recommend is using the 18650 cells. At 2400mah, they are one of the best cells for energy density vs. space taken.

I usually avoid Lux Vs since they are so bloody voltage-hungry. And even 7.2v is often just a LITTLE bit too low (when coupled with a driver board) to be feeding the Lux V the optimal current.
