(Got to say, I seriously hate the 3400 ma 18650 single cell format because even a xplhi v6 in a 20 mm smo, needs too much current draw to seriously consider any credible workday length. One swap per day cost over a thousand dollars per year, per man. Also, emergency edc on a tool belt cannot pack spares. So, I seriously hope the single 18650 for dies with the advent of cells with double the capacity : lithium sulphur, solid electrolyte, or 21700. Don't care which, but the sooner, the better.)

Looks like that cell has finally arrived!
Now, can an imr cell explode if my smart charger accidentally over charges-suddenly or latently on head? The pdf mentions cut off, but doesnt say if they are suggesting a circuit cut off, or something built in to cell that cut off at 2.5 and 4.2.
I probably won't be rebuilding my 2x 18650 headlamps for this format. But would not think twice about ditching all single cell lights for this format. Energy density is roughly same for weight as the Panasonic 3400s.
