In addition...................There is an inherent risk in stacking batteries for any high drain use. I'm most familiar with flashlights and PVs. In PVs I've moved to using only LiFePO4, for stacking, as they are the safest and if there is a problem they only exhaust oxygen and no risk of fire. Even though protected batteries are "protected" that protection does not protect against explosions, fire, and release of potentially hazardousness chemicals.

My short protected lithium batteries are now used only in singles in shortie PVs such as the shorty Roughstack, Super Mini GLV, and Shorty Megalodon and my head lamps that take short, single, li-ion. I'm even thinking about moving to LiFePO4 for head lamps as they are so close to my eyes. (I use them all the time working outside at night. They come in really handy when we lose power at night for just moving around the house and reading.)

I do not own a reo yet but I do have a couple 14500 mods and was wondering if anyone new where to get the 14250 lifepo4 3.0v batteries?

COV has the 14500 LiFePO4 3.0v batteries but out of stock right now. You can do the "notify me" to get any email when he gets some in. COV LiFePo4 14500 3.0v 600mAh Rechargable Bat

He has the LiFePo4 18650 3.0v in stock and the COV LiFePo4 CR123A 3.0v in stock.

I'm going to order a couple of the 18650 and 14500 when they get back in stock just to compare them to the AW IMR.
