![]() The trick here is sizing a bulb or LED that matches up with a larger number of alkaline cells and then substituting a lesser number of lithium cells at the same voltage. What you're getting is more than twice the volts out of a rechargeable cell of a comparable size. An alkaline cell puts out about 1.7 volts on a good day. Lithium ion batteries are nominally rated for 3.7 volts but actually put out around 4 volts. ![]() The idea behind the light is to use lithum ion batteries as a power source. I previously posted about mods for vintage Maglites as well as some awesome lithium ion Adventure Sport Maglite conversions but what if you really want to take it a step further and build a great, bright, rechargeable Maglite yourself? (I also wrote another post about custom lithium ion LED lights too.) You need to be well versed in electrical principles as well as lithium ion battery safety before attempting. Maglite does not recommend them and I take no liability for them. ![]() DISCLAIMER: These Maglite modifications are to be performed at your own risk.
