Subject: Helios Batteries
Most of the new NiMH lights - Halcyon, Dive Rite and Sartek - seem to 
be using the 4/3 A cells (or the slightly wider fat A) These are 
oddball industrial sizes, shaped like an oversized AA and available 
in capacities of 3800 to 4500 mAh, and cost about $7 each for 
soldertails. For more capacity, usual practice is to put two or more 
strings in parallel with each other.

Don't think any of them bother with a catalyst.

If you're into lights you might want to join the HID mailing list on 
Yahoo where such things are regularly covered.
