Me too... :shrug:
I'm also going to need a 4x 18650 side-by-side in the future..

Anyone knows a source for these?

Yes, same here.
Preferably something that can hold 4 x AW Protected cells.

Just use these PCB mount leave spring contacts and you can accommodate any size of battery. Its only a matter of PCB layout.

I use small boxes I've found at the local 99-cent store. I cut them with the dremel and each gives two one-18650 boxes, to which I then affix the terminals. They have nice plastic spacers inside, so it'd be easy to cut them in anoher shape and have a 2x18650 holder.
Sadly, it appears there are no ready-made holders. You'll have to make them yourself, one way or the other.
