    Just so everyone knows...

    These are the size of a shotgun shell!

    What are the size of a shotgun shell? Not the ones we sell. Maybe I missed something.

    A lot of devices have a power draw when off but its so small you would never notice it. For instance our new LED driver combo we will have soon that adds the 3w driver functions to the adjustable driver uses only 50 microamps while in standby which is 0.00005 of a amp so it would take a long time to drain your batteries down.

    Think he is referring to the 18500's in the OP...

    The 18500s are too large to fit side by side in a MHS hilt.

    you could easily insert the trustfire 18500 in place of the shotgun cartridge...

    I was trying to compare it to a common object... I guess Rhyen and i and the only ones who use shotguns...

    18500 refers to the size: 18mm x 50mm.

    14500 = 14mm x 50mm.

    18650 = 18mm x 65mm...

    holy crap! That is WAY cool!

    So since an MHS ID is 1.25" or 31.75mm ('ish) making a pack and allowing for room, (1.75mm's worth) that would mean anything more than a 15000 wouldn't fit side by side...so 14500's are our best bet....

    ITS A PERFECT SYSTEM I TELL YOU!!! PERFECT!!!

    You don't know much about real fire arms, do you, cc? A .22 bullet is less than a 1/4".

    You were closer when you said shotgun shell. A 12 gauge shell is 18.572mm in diameter.
