no problem at all..I've actually beeen working on putting together a long detailed battery post with a simplified amp draw table and a wattage table...for the different atties and voltages...
the long and short of it is...that crunching the numbers on batteries that could handle any atty you throw at them without exceeding the max drain rate of the battery you've pretty much got:
at 3.7V:
just about any 18650
and the 3.7V AW IMR 16340 LiMN
at 6V:
stacked 3V AW 16340 LiFePo4
at 7.4V:
stacked 3.7V AW IMR 16340 LiMN
so 18650 size and a couple of 16340 (CR123a) options
*but specifically those 16340s as far as the 3V 16340 LiFePo4 and the 3.7V AW IMR 16340 LiMN...
The AW IMR16340 last me pretty much all day. I'm a former pack-a-day smoker, now vaping 12mg liquid. When I get home from work, I'll sometimes pop a fresh batt in, but sometimes not. Even after a full day at work, its usually still hitting harder than a fully charged 510 batt. I expect when the IMR14500s are out, they'll have a similar capacity.
I like that I'm not pushing these out of their operational comfort zone and that the batt chemistry doesn't make for explosive failure modes.
Still, I think some venting would be a welcome addition. Is there any downside?

Hey david I was trying to get a visual of the actual size of the P16 or PRecise 16340 mod... would say its roughly the size (length and width) of a Ultrafire 18650 battery? Im rather curious about this.

David, how about some pics? I'm sure we'd all like to see them next to the 10440 Precise.
Very first posting = Until i get the finalized Prototype pics, these pics will have to suffice as the new models are the same, only larger:
A. Holes in the side of the PV.
B. Being able to see the batteries or the spring assembly.
Welcome to some maybe... I prefer the sleek design of the Precise.
Totally smooth. Very hard to detect joints..
Ubber high quality fit and finish...
Hey Dave,
I know this might be a pipe dream, but is there a possibility that you might fabricate a 14500 model of the Precise? I have had good experiences with this battery platform and it is a good compromise between overall size and mah rating. Just a thought. I know I would buy one if it existed. Cheers.

Hey Kidd
I know it isn't the same design as the Precise, but David's S6 uses the 14500. I have two and they are truly fantastic devices.

For the 14500 you definately want the Super 6.
I agree that the 14500 is a great platform but so is the 16340 in one of the new larger Precise models / platforms.
I have all of the Super-T's and there's not one single thing that I dislike about any of them and, you cant really compare one to the other... They're each in their own league of greatness. (Really)

Super Six Bud for the 14500 Batt!!!!!! That's the last 14500 Mod you will ever buy.....
I do not disagree with the Super 6 as a great 14500 device, I just have a weakness for the aesthetics of the Precise body styling. I really like the clean simplified lines of the Precise. Again, just my personal taste, nothing against the functionality and high quality of the Super 6 or any other Super-T product.
Ok i can understand and respect that....Although i do not own a Precise.....I hear it's a beautiful PV and a work of art.....But i will be a proud owner of the P18
you never know what david will come up with next..........
I agree with that grimmer...We never know what Dave will come up with next...
hey buddy have you had any luck yet? oh and thanks again for looking around for me.
No problem Bud anytime.... Nothing definitive yet... But two of them look good will know with in a day or sohey buddy have you had any luck yet? oh and thanks again for looking around for me.

I can't argue with you on the aesthetics of the Precise as I also have two of those and love the classy style. The S6 and Precise each hold the number one position, in their respective class.
Now the wait for the 16340 precise to see if David can do it again.
Best of luck on your decision.
