PaladinNO. We hope this gets all your questions and concerns answered. Fenix has replied with this. We believe we've covered all the questions now. Thanks for your interest in Fenix lights.

Sorry for the confusion and unclear information in my previous explanation. Actually, Fenix has released only one TK75 runtime kit, whose current item number is AER-TK75 and can be compatible with the old and new versions of the TK75.
Here you go…

The information that I wanted to tell the customer was that the battery carrier included in this runtime kit is not able to be compatible with the new TK75 tube but not the kit itself. That means, only the new battery carrier with USB charging is compatible with the TK75 2018 but the AER-TK75 is also compatible with the new TK75. And the old battery carrier in the AER-TK75 is compatible with the runtime kit only. It may work in the new TK75 but is not recommended as explained previously due to the different structures and sizes, which would probably cause a short circuit or any other problems.
Please kindly note of the above revision. Thanks for your kindly attention and support!
Merry Christmas!

I get a clear sense of me overstayng my welcome here now...
Well, to keep it simple: I tried the TK76 tailcap by coincidence, having placed both next to each other, and not remembering which belonged where.
Long story short: As I did have problems with the light, I started experimenting to find out what was needed to make the light work with 2 carriers.
As I understood a previous post here, using the TK75 2018 tube and carrier FIRST was essential - and then add more tubes and carriers after.
BUT to make the light work at all with any 2 carriers, I have to use the TK76 tailcap.
However, I did not use the 2018 tube with a AER-TK75 carrier on its own - that caused the carrier to rattle around, and I didn't try the light without a second carrier.
I've know there is some design differences between the AER-TK75 and the current TK75RK extension kits - in your promo picture in this thread, fenix store,
you posted a picture of the TK75 2018 with original carrier + 3 extension kits...can I safely presume those extension kits were the TK75RK?
Do you happen to have some of the older AER-TK75 kits laying around to test with as well?
Because I get a feeling here my issues are simply due to a slight incompatibility between the designs of the older carriers and the new light.
Using the later TK75RK's might solve my problem, but that would be a gamble, as I'd then have to buy one of them to test with - if I could know for sure beforehand, I will jump right on it, and get one of them.
So if you could tell me why my TK75 2018 doesn't work with the original tube and carrier + 1 AER-TK75 kit - or better yet, tell me what I need to do to make it work - I'm all ears.
