Hey everyone,
After forcing 3 NCRB's into my K40vn a few times I've decided that it's no longer worth the risk of damaging either my cells or the carrier, so I'm looking for some slightly shorter protected 18650's.
After doing a bit of my own research I've found Eagletac's to be a bit shorter (68mm as opposed to the 69.6mm of the NCRB's) while still having good quality built in protection.
So, here's a couple of questions:
1. Who owns a K40 (or similar) that use the same carrier and what cells do you use?
2. What are the shortest (good quality) protected 18650's on the market?
3. Where can I source ET 18650's for less than $75AUD for 3?!?!? Expensive much?
4. Would unprotected cells be an option and would they be long enough?
5. On another forum a member mentioned I needed Seiko protection circuit, this is true and should I be looking at Keeppower cells?
Sorry about all the questions, I just don't want to damage my pride and joy light but forcing long cells into it.
