Need a bottle of guidance for battery options

what driver does that have?

It'll be running off a maxFlex..

You are going to want some thing like a 14.8 volt 5200mah pack for a good runtime
maybe bigger but certainly not smaller.
mind you dont usually run on full the whole time .

So, you guys think this would work OK?
Also, is there any need for a main shutoff switch?

Nope that one has a 12 volt regulater so is no good is there a similar one with out the 12 volt regulator .

You dont need to worry about a switch it will have one and all functions are done in the maxflex software and when not using it you will unplug the battery .as it is not a good thing to store the light connected to the battery in case of accidental switch on which could lead to overheating or battery discharge.

so then, this would be a winner?

Troutie, what type of battery connector are you using for the light?

That battery should be good

Connector wise I am not sure yet we are looking at some new ones and I should have a sample soon

or I can just leave a tail on the light for you to put a connector of choice on .

I am no pro at this so excuse me if I give you the wrong info. I did however read on the maxflex tech docs that you shouldn't exceed 3amps. use it, don't use it..

So i was about to buy the battery i listed above and realized it's stupid heavy. at over a pound it is way too much. So that leads me to these bad boys:

What runtimes would you guys guesstimate i would get with these using the 3 MC-e's on full?
