I've started working on the designs for the PPR and need to find out which battery everyone prefers. A single 10440 battery or a 14500. Obviously since it's a single battery run time will be affected by going with the smaller of the batteries, but in terms of size, it brings the outside diameter from 15.5mm for the 14500 host down to 11.5mm for the single 10440.

So, I've started a poll. The favorite is the one chosen.

I like the smaller size and think other people do also I would buy one in 10440 as there are plenty of 14500's out there now ;)

I voted 10440 but I really don't mind, the longer battery life would be nice from the 14500 but the smaller size is appealing.

Love small hosts, can't help it. Come on 10440!

Is it just me or does Personal Pocket Rocket sound like a... oh nvm, you had to have noticed. There is the dilda also.

I vote 14500, difference in size is nothing compared to larger capacity and current delivery capability, besides, 10440 has no chances of driving any kind of 445nm diode, while 14500 does... not full power, granted, but something like 500mW of 445nm out of 14500 sized host... sounds good to me :D

I'd say 14500.
It sounds like a good host for just general pointers; who cares about having high power when you could have a (somewhat) full spectrum in matching hosts.

10440s are capable of about 700mA discharge and below... not too shabby, but for a flexdrive build, the 14500 ought to be able to let fly a few extra electrons for longer battery lives. I'm in for the 14500.

not just actual run time.... in my experience 10440's actual life is pretty crappy too. they flat out die quite frequently. 14500 all the way.

I say the heck with these exotic battery types I would prefer it if these could function with a common AA,C or D type batteries instead of a more expensive type I've barely ever heard of before. If I absolutely have to chose between the types given I would choose the 14500.

Bigger is better :D

Heh, you're still fresh. :D
You'll see that in the laser world, alkalines and NiMH are exotic, but lithium ions like 10440, 14500, 18650 , 16340 and similar, are very common and widely used.
