    Which 18650's

    They are good. Just won't work in modded high-amp lights; mine peak around 4.5-5.2A momentary draw. Still good enough for most retail lights.

    Which 18650's

    In Germany you could also try the Oege cells. I picked up a few last year and they have the rated capacity (actually slightly higher). for low to medium amp draws they should be fine and I had mine with free shipping (assuming your lights are not heavily modded). Oege is based in Dortmund/NRW...

    Which 18650's

    I started my lights with Ultrafire and only keep them around because they are the only button-tops I have (just in case a light doesn't like flat-tops). all my other batteries now are mostly Samsung and Panasonic, they are very good.

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    Had a paypal voucher and purchased a Solarforce L2T. had to buy it due to expiration date of the voucher, the light should be here in 1-2 weeks.

    Test/Review of Charger Xtar VC4

    MY VC4 had the exact same symptoms as stated in this thread - two 18650s in the outer slots, low charging rate. When I even touched the USB cable the rate dropped to 0.0A and the green lights came up (charging stopped) and the display showed "full". power cycling the device restarted the...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Just did an oil change and needed a Solarforce L2 to find the oil sump plug. Even though it is really sunny outside the engine bay and oil pan are very dimly lit places.
