Finally my Nitecore 18650's are here and they actually work in the Nitecore TM11 (which is also a recent mail delivery). The first set of UltraFire TR 18650's did not power it up and now I see they are shorter than the Nitecore batteries. Is that usual? Also the second set of UltraFire BRC 18650's would not power up the TM11 and they are the same size. Only one of the two UltraFire's power up my Jetbeam M1X but not the other. Note my Jetbeam (came in the mail) with two UltraFire LC 18650's and is a powerhouse.

Where did I go wrong with the battery choices?

Where did I go wrong with the battery choices?

Ultrafire 18650s are nothing more than cheap, unreliable, junk. More specifically, they're used laptop batteries that are pulled from old laptops and have an Ultrafire label wrapped around them. So you basically get generic batteries that sometimes work, sometimes don't, sometimes won't hold a charge, sometimes won't charge up at all, sometimes will charge up once or twice before never doing so ever again. It's the gambler's choice. Buy them, roll the dice, and pray for a 7.

"Come on. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes!"

Seriously though they're cheap, unreliable, junk. Not worth buying. But, folks see the low prices and figure they're just as good as the slightly more expensive AW brand 18650s. With flashlights (and batteries) you honestly do get what you pay for.

*Groans* Ugh... well I've been saying I'm getting a Fenix E50 all week from Fenix-Store.com but it still hasn't arrived. I emailed them about it today so hopefully I hear back from them and/or get it tomorrow finally. Just getting worried since I have ordered from them before using the same shipping and received stuff in 2 days.

Hopefully they are just busy and shipping stuff is slower before Thanksgiving.
