I have never heard of 168A cells, but if they follow the same naming convention of 123s they are completely different than 18650s.

I just ordered a Wolf Eyes Guider and PT says it runs off of 1 LRB-168A Li-ion battery, or 2 CR123's. Sorry, I left off the prefix!!

168A is the Pila designation for li-ion batteries, should be fairly similar.

Aside from the build quality, the cells are the same size.

168A is the Pila designation for li-ion batteries, should be fairly similar.

17500 = Pila 300S = Wolf-Eyes LRB-150B
18500 = Pila 300P = Wolf-Eyes LRB-150A
17670 = Pila 600S = Wolf-Eyes LRB-168B
18650 = Pila 600P = Wolf-Eyes LRB-168A

I thought it meant "one cell, six eights of an A cell", just as 123A means "one cell, two thirds of an A cell.
Then again, I guess it should have been obvious to me that such a cell would be called "3/4", not "6/8"...

it should be pointed out that Wolfeye and pila are usually PROTECTED cells.
