Here's a pic of the damaged battery. Looks like humpty dumpty had a great fall.
ecotack, i didn't mean to still your thread. I did refer these to you. I thought what the heck i'll order some and test them.
I have searched for awhile for a li-ion in the D form. Xtar is the only brand name i know. They made them to fit in Xtar flashlights. They have been around for awhile but i dont know if they even still make these. I did see one china seller of these. But you would have to buy a hundred just to order.
Update: Novaeproducts has emailed me and offered me a replacement. I guess the holiday slowed things down.
