varmint · Oct 13, 2011

I am new to this and just bought a Thrulite TN11, I will be needing some 18650 batteries, please advise me on what to get and avoid, also a supplier for them and charger.
Battery junction advised Tenergy any help is welcome. I want to order the batteries to be here when the light arrives from the UK.
Thanks to all in advance.

AW batteries are some of the most reliable and trusted batteries here.
Redilast, Callies Kustoms and AW all use quality panasonic cells.
They also have some of the highest true capacity that you can buy.

AW 18650's are the best, avoid any batteries with fire in the name. You can get AW batteries from flashaholics and cloud9vaping. I expect some of the overseas dealers will ship to the UK aswell.
Charger: I recommend the pilla IBC. It is available from ledfiretorches.co.uk, it's not cheap but it's worth it.

I suggest AW cells which you can buy in the MP and a Pila IBC charger.

The Callies Kustom 3100 mah 18650's are a real nice battery for the price.

oops, I misread your question. Thought you said you were in the UK, silly me

I bought the AW's and Pila charger and more other stuff! The Aw's seem to get the best reviews, now just wait until it gets here.

Don't fall for inflated power ratings either. There aren't any 4000mAh 18650's. I think there might be a few 3000's.

Thanks I totally agree, I got the AW brand 2900 mah

I'm pretty sure the positive terminal on those batteries is flat. Some flashlights work with them some don't

I bought a pack of ultrafire flashlight, 18650 battery and charger from link deleted doesn't work. Usually first posts with links to web sites are not recommended here at least it works good for me.

I've have NO problem with the "flame" TrustFire's, in both 14500 & 18650.
