Really. 18650 batteries are much bigger than our batteries. Just look for 14500 batteries.
Thanks Emory. Actually, the 14500's I have are still working within spec. I was just on the lookout to make a good thing (my power eating saber), even better.
I used to build my own computers, and overclock them to eek out just a little more performance from them, so long as it did not push things to the danger point. The vibe of this community seems very similar, with their constant experimentation with the look, feel, and functionality of their sabers - then sharing that information with the folks here that appreciate those efforts. I feel right at home here in that respect.
Of course, if there is ever an in-hilt battery/port recharge option (preferably with a bigger battery), I will be all over that!
