I can't tell from the pictures but the LiFePos appear to be just a bit shorter. Is that true?
If they are, that would be great.
(Closer to the length of the 14500)

hey pipes I take it you like the longer throw... I bet I will as well... lets you know that your making contact with the battery.

Yea Grimmer, I actually do like the longer throw. It is easier to feel the contact point and I tend to control it better that way. I am quickly learning the importance of that with 6 volts. Stay on the button to long and the atty fries. (A little bit of a learning curve here.)
P.S. Just another of the well thought out design details of the Super 6, adjustable button throw.
Pipes, the LiFePO4's do seem to be a bit shorter, I don't have my Super Six yet but they look a bit shorter.
I mistakenly called them TrustFire batteries, the unprotected CR2's are actually UltraFire as evident from the pictures.

Only a handful of super sixes have shipped to date. The majority of units are being CNC'd in one big batch as we speak. As of my last visit to the shop this past thursday, they should all be completed within two weeks time frame. I also have a few super sixes i am machining here that should also be ready shortly.
Hope that helps!

Hi all!
Received 6 of the Excellerator brand CR 2 LifePO 3.2 batteries with the charger. Not sure on the performance as I dont have anything that uses CR 2 Bats. The charger is a very cheap regular CR 123 batery charger with 3.6 volt output you can tell if it wasnt for the 2 little springs they soldered on to the negitive end's of the charger a CR 123 would slip right into it. I also had to cut a little lenth off the soldered spring because it was too long and put too much tention on the batteries which in turn tried to force the batteries to eject from the charger by themselve or loose conection because of too much tention from the springs. One of the batteries had a little rust on the positive end when I opened it the package that particular batery came in did not seem to be water damaged or anything but the batery did have a rust spot that I cleaned it off with a little wire brush(and It did take a charge just fine)
If I had to do it over again I would use spacers in a regular CR123 batery charger and just purchase the batteries....I am not even sure about the batteries as I can not comment on how well they will perform as I do not have my Super Six yet nor do I have anything around the house that uses CR 2 batteries( but the charger is as cheap as they can come!)
I measured the batteries with a caliper as the size of the CR 2 batteries came up ......I did not have another brand CR 2battery to measure and compare but it does look like theese are a little shorter then the ultrafire's in the picture that djdavis75 posted....anyway
CR 2 Excellerator Brand LIFePO Model EX-RCR-2 3.2V
L 26.75 mm 1.05 in
W 15.10 mm 59.50 in
Charger output 3.6 V
Tenergy LifePO4 750mAh RCR123 3.0V
L 34.00 mm 1.33 in
W 16.45mm 0.64
Tenergy Charger Output 3.9 V
I am suprized to see that they dont have that many rechargeable CR 2 batteries and CR 2 Batery chargers being it is a pretty common battery for a lot of Cameras theese days!
Anyway can't wait to get my hands on that Super Six I will be able to let my SB cool off im sure it will be more like colecting dust....

To tell you the truth the first time I saw these it brought up red flags. Besides looking like they were made in someons garage I find it odd that all the more recognized battery makers such as Tenergy,Ultrafire etc do not offer cr2 in a protected or LifePo4 version yet this as it seems to me totally unknown battery brand Excellerator just happens to be the only one ANYWHERE available in the world(Internet world at least). I just wonder if they really are what they say. I personally feel better getting a product that can be as dangerous as a lithium battery from a more known company. I know these Chinese manufacturers have there share of QC issues as well but I have more trust in there non protected cr2 than these guys LifePo4.
BTW just to clarify these are just my thoughts and opinions. Im not recommending either but I will be using the green cr2 3volts until a better option becomes abvailable with a decent mah rating.
