     First off, I did not read much past first page. (skimmed 2-3) ( http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=26812.0 )
Reason for stopping there is that I wanna find one that will fit in an Initiate V2 hilt, as they are shorter etc, before I dive too deep into mAH and such.

As a start, I found a few on amazon that seem promising (though a few (*'d) seem outright too long):



https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015E363IK/
3.6 in long
1a in 1.5a out
5000mAh


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HED45ZG
5000mAH
1.2*1.2*4.5in*
Good detailed review https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1CAADXC050UF6/
hopefully is auto on type

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZZYBAI2/
4 in long *
0.87 x 4.02 x 0.87 in
3350mAh
1a in and out


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L0I05I2/
0.87 x 0.87 x 4.06 in *
3000mAH
1a in and out

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EETOTWS
3.7 × 0.9 × 0.9in
3350mAH
1A in and out


4 AAA Sentinel Yellow setup btw
(new enough to this that dunno LED type or anything like that well)

Questions:
     1.) Would any of the above work/fit (if not, suggestions?)
     2.) Does the amperage play a role I should be aware of?
     3.) Any ideas as to battery life at different mAH?

Thoughts:
     I know most power banks input at 1 to 1.2 amps, and output varies from the 0.9-1.2 amp range to the 1. -2.5 amp range.
     I really don't know much about voltages and amperages (let alone resistance). Forgotten most of what I learned back
     in high-school except bare bones terminology.

Addendum

Just found out about these, any idea if they work?

2nd post is just cases no batteries.

1. the AUKEY one is the only one I've found that fits. (check diameter, internal of my sabers seems to be 33mm, so you need 32mm or less diameter. the AUKEY is 1.18" so... 30mm. Others i've looked at were all 33mm+.

2.Amps won't matter for your application. Voltage is important, 6v is the magic number, but batteries start producing lower voltage as soon as they start to be used. the 1.5v a AAA or AA will go down to ~.9 before it dies. so anywhere between 4 and 6v would work. USB ports all run on 5v, so anything with a USB port will take 5v.

3.AAA batteries are like 1200mha, so 4-5x as long as before. probably.

I also plan on doing this mod. Good luck, please post results.
