Prepared to be blown away.
I would advise in order to see the dropin achieve its highest performance, you'll need either unprotected 3400mAh Panasonic NCR18650B (green battery) or AW 2000mAh IMR's (red type).
The protected version of the Panasonic sags in voltage right out the gate vs the unprotected and the IMR's.
Thanks to HKJ for his battery comparator!
Also make sure the dropin is tightly wrapped with tinfoil around its silver midsection and seated snug (tight) in the host. Can also use soda can strips. It needs all the heat sinking it can get - excessive heat will constrain the LED's output.
See my post here about the quad XP-G2 [R5-3C] to get an idea of how much heat and runtime you can expect.
