"The batteries can be bought on-line from RS (order number 325-2850), you will need two of them"

here my super tuned ones :D
A friend of mine developed this based on our discussions. Has Goldcaps inside and an special board, 3 LEd's or different ones.
He is selling the set installed for 20 EURO at cost price. People have to send in their old ones, he modifies them and removes a lot of the innards, makes the shell on some areas thinner so that all fits. Then sends them back to sender. Bad luck, he lives in Germany. Charged in 5 minutes and is much brighter than the standard one.
This one I built with a cell phone battery and LED's 3 years ago based on the idea from Jon Evans in the U.K.
