ZL H600fd III Advantages

[Tachead]

I got mine in 4 days from Zebralight in China but, it cost me a pretty penny for DHL shipping and they got me on the customs fees too(o well, I wanted it fast and it is a great light). There are a couple places in the US that stock these too but, I have never dealt with them to know how fast they ship.

Can you please post which protected cells fit or don't fit? I was considering the Keeppower, good to know it's too wide.

As for the H600Fd MKIII, I dont know all the cells that dont fit other then the Keeppowers but, Thrunite 3400mah(Panasonic NCR18650B based) fit as well as Eagletac 3500mah(Panasonic NCR18650GA based). So, I would think any protected cell that is based on those 2 cells that doesnt have an excessively thick wrapper/heatshrink or definitely the bare cells. Maukka tested runtimes with the Sanyo NCR18650BL and they LG MH1 so they fit too. Maybe others can list the ones they know fit as well?

All my protected keeppower 3500mah and eagletac 3500mah fit in my H600FC MKIII.

Are there any retailers that we like currently selling this light?

All my protected keeppower 3500mah and eagletac 3500mah fit in my H600FC MKIII.

I thought the keeppowers didn't fit?

All my protected keeppower 3500mah and eagletac 3500mah fit in my H600FC MKIII.

How thick are your Keeppowers? Mine are ~19,3 mm in the thickest part. I could probably jam it into the H600Fd III but wouldn't get it out.

The thickest one is 18.7mm, the other 3 are less.

Just ordered one from Andrew and Amanda with Olight 3400mAh 18650

Anyone know what the maximum diameter battery the H600fd will take without forcing it?

My H600Fd III's battery compartment's inner diameter is 18,85 mm.

Thank you.

So this battery should fit without any issues?

The Keeppowers clearly vary in thickness so your mileage may vary.

I got the same reply from nkon regarding this battery, the width varies. The Eagletac 3500 should fit always.

 

[maukka]

Yeah, even nkon's website states that the Keeppower 3400 and 3500's don't fit in all Zebralights. This was there even before the new SC600 III-series that only accept unprotected cells.

remove the sticker and clean the glue off will reduce its diameter enough for an easier fit

Got three more Keeppowers (3500 mAh) from nkon today and they all fit to my H600Fd III without any issue.
