On my wishlist I currently have one NITECORE Tiny Monster TM 11 and one SYSMAX Intellicharge i4 (v2), but I haven't been able to decide on a battery type yet.
Although I don't have any experience with Li-ion cells, I feel I've read up enough on the topic to jump in.
At the moment, I've narrowed my options down to:
Edit: I just realized the 2900 mAh is a flat-top cell, so I guess that excludes it as well. Are there any alternatives to the IMR 2000 mAh that I might have missed?
Mods: I wasn't sure whether this should go in the LED or electronics subforum. If I posted in the wrong place, please feel free to move it.

At the moment, I've narrowed my options down to:
- AW 18650 2900 mAh protected cells (oops, these are flat-tops; any other suggestions?)
- AW IMR 18650 2000 mAh safe chemistry cells
- EagleTac 18650 3100 mAh protected button-top cells (looks like these have the right length)
- Do these batteries fit?
- The TM11 seems to use the batteries in parallel; (how) does that affect battery safety?
- Does the TM11 have any sort of low voltage cutoff itself?
