Thread: Looking for powerful 18650's with BUTTON top...GOOD button top!

    Default Looking for powerful 18650's with BUTTON top...GOOD button top!

    Guys, I've got AW's 2200mAh batteries (18650) in black and I'm looking for something more powerful with a REAL button top.

    The Redilast 3100's didn't work for me in my TM11 so I KNOW I want a real good button top.
    (Yes, I know they work in most TM11's but didn't in mine for some reason).

    I read about the Orbtronics 2900 and 3100 (the tests by HKJ).
    Would these have a similar button top as the AW's?

    A good place to buy them?

    Anything else really powerful with a GOOD button top out there that you would recommend?

    HKJ, as always, thanks for your work.

    By the way, I've found TWO Orbtronics in 2900 and 3100 for the same price with shipping
    and they look to have the same button top.
    One is amazon and the other is an unknown (to me) dealer.

    Any thoughts on this please?

    George

    eagleTac and Xtar are also the same Panasonic cell and have raised button tops
    In god we trust.........all others are suspects
    There are no problems in life that can not be solved with high explosives or small arms

    Any links or do you know who sells them and how's the quality/real capacity vs claimed capacity?

    I'm gonna go to HKJ's site to see if he has tested them.

    Thanks

    You can find Xtar batteries on plenty of sites.. e.g. SBFlashlights, GoingGear, etc.
    Real capacity/claimed capacity ratio is way better than of AW 2200mAh cells (2950+ mAh vs claimed 3100mAh (95%), while AW 2200's are 2000mAh vs claimed 2200mAh (91%))

    Thanks

    Is this the one you meant and would the extra 5mm be an issue?

    Am I allowed to link to them?
