I am after two 26650 cells around 5000 mah, button top to run in series in a light drawing about 5.5 amps on high (Thorfire S70).
The light has low voltage warning & protection so they can be unprotected cells.
I am in the UK so US sellers postage charges kill any deal.
I have been considering these Thorfire own cells http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01ASYZMB4/
Any recommendations on suitable cells & suppliers greatly appreciated.

Ecoluxshop on eBay have a good reputation. They sell some Keeppower 5200 mAh protected cells that are effectively button top, that would be my choice.

The Keeppower 26650 protected battery flat top is 71.1mm long; two button top in series may be too tall to fit.

I use an unprotected Keeppower 5200mAh 26650 battery in only single battery configuration.

In my S70 I've been using King Kong 26650 4000mAh ICR26650 button tops. They've actually tested out at 4300-4500 mAh and can handle 10A+. They are 67.7 long and I wouldn't go much longer as the tailcap already is a tight fit.[h=1][/h]
