haha .... it was a 10440 battery using, cigarette sized PV, with a cammed top (so again, no exterior button) I wasn't happy with the amount of time I was getting from the 10440 (maybe 2-3 hours) so, we took the engineering behind it, and are now using it on the Protege and new Prodigy.
a cigarette sized pv using a 10440 would be pretty cool , the 10440 is an e-cigar battery right?
I agree on the size and performance of the Protege 
I also am very pleased with (and will always consider to be #1) the Prodigy.
Two very nice, well made, high quality finished machines.
There are 4 or 5 people where I work that have ordered them since I first showed up with mine. All have totally quit analogs.

I totally agree the 10440 battery SUCKS. Vapor production drops off quickly and just didn't like them. The 14500 is much better.
I have my PP in my hand right now just waiting on my wife to activate it. Oh wait............. Nevermind!
one, EWW, two someone else made a 10440 battery pv...
i wish there was 2 half AA sized 3v batteries for the protege for 5-6v

That sounds like a neat idea.

I think there are (CR2s?) that would give you 6v but the batt life would suck.
yup. unless one used non-recharge-able batteries which is just a no no.
i haven't found any rechargeable CR2s or 14250s that are worth anything, for this cause.
i'm searching for a way to try 5v. haven't really figured it out... would hate to spend even 70 dollars to try something i'll hate... so i've been devising my evil plans for a home-made passthrough/battery box + rca connectors... been looking for a 5v dc power supply that is a wall plug... i found one but it was like 20 bucks and up to 2.2 amp which i think might be a little much for the attys lol... (which i haven't done enough research to know if it will over juice the attys, or just use what it needs...)
another cheap alternative i'm looking at: here
wire lead + rca button housing = 1.3 (fully charged 1000mah NiMH AAAs) x 4 = 5.2 un-loaded. it would last me all day i bet... a 900mah 14500 lasts all day... so i dont know how well it would work. was even thinking about modding that battery housing to drop into a pv... but it would make it a Fatty.
i wonder if NiMH batteries can blow up... heh...
You can get unprotected 500 mAh batteries in the 10440 size but they don't really last much longer than 3 hours. Still better than a 510..lol...
