There are all kinds of micrometers :). I use these ones for household stuff. Very inexpensive but not recommended if you're going to do something like stroke your engine.

Amazon.com: Neiko Stainless Steel 6" Digital Caliper with Extra-Large LCD Screen - Instant SAE-Metric Conversion: Home…


Thanks for the link!

Don't think I will be stroking my engine, any way soon, since I am not that mechanically inclined. LOL! :p I do good, to keep in filled with gasoline, and have Jeffy Lube change my oil, and check all the other fluids. HA! :D

Any particular one you are referring too?

Thanks! ;)

I sure he's referring to ... ummm... the SILVER BULLET of course :D
or the very soon to be released Omega!

I have a Siver Bullet. Overall it's pretty much the same situation. Looks like the only protected CR123As are the Tenergys. I'm trying out my second set right now. I think the first set was defective. I'll know in a couple of days. Others seem to be using the Tenergys no problem. They do have a higher max discharge rate and should handle 3 Amps to 3.5 Amps max current (which should be plenty). The Silver Bullet is heavier/larger though. BB for the office in a pocket, SB for the golf course with a belt clip flashlight case :)

I would never run lr attys at 6v. you will pop them fast.
I have run, before i knew the dangers, cr2s in the bb, but wouldnt do it now to save my life unless they are protected..

if you want to do 6v it is best to use the cr2s that are protected. they do not last long though. Probably an hour or so per charge if you are a heavy hitter. use reg or hv attys. I prefer HV attys at that voltage.

You would do best to get another mod to do 6v that takes the cr123a battys. much longer charge and safer imo.

my protected cr2s last hours. just aboubt as long as my cr123s............
