After some testing, for safety reasons I have decided to "recycle" my six (6) new less than one year old Fenix ARB-L16 16340 700mAh 3.7V Protected Lithium Ion button type batteries. (They have a one year warranty, maybe I will try that first). I have found them to be less than adequate for my HDS lights as they have inconsistent run times and cause my two high CRI HDS lights to randomly reset about once every eight days of daily use.
Looking for some recommendations. Leaning towards the Olight brand 650mAh protected cells ORB-163P06 mostly because another HDS owner uses the 550mAh version of them and they seem to be popular with great reviews from my battery supplier BatteryJunction. They also have a Material Safety Data Sheet that Efest batteries do not.
What are other HDS owners using for rechargeable batteries? Anyone find a source of 16340 rechargeable batteries from Japan?
