Hi,
I have a Meco flashlight that has been doing me well for several years, but recently it has been doing a little flickering and dimming from time to time. I tightened the piece in the end cap that has the switch on it, but that didn't seem to help. I was swapping out between 2 UltraFire batteries carrying one as a spare and using the other one night, then charging the one I had used to put it as the spare and using the one that had been the spare the next night. On some nights it worked perfectly and on other nights is was less consistent. Tonight I got looking close at the batteries and the one that works well is a little but noticeable amount longer than the other. I checked the other extra batts that are lying around and the good one is longer than any of them. Can anyone explain that, and how to get more of the slightly longer type? They all say UltraFire BRC 18650 3000mAh 3.7V li-ion. The only difference I see is that the longer one has UltraFire printed on the back end of it and none of the others do. Are the others some sort of fake, and if so how to get the real deal instead?
Thank you for any help with this!
David
