I have a Streamlight HLX that I'm using 2600mah 18650 batteries in. My question is, how much run time will I gain by switching to 5000mah batteries? davemp
Thank you. Is there any downside to using the 5000mah battery? davemp
Any cell maker using 5000mAh on their 18650 shouldn't be trusted as a rule, but that's just me?

yea it would be, by 800-900mah. that is about 30% also keep in mind some 18650 are not 4,2v but 4,35v and they calculate capacity based on that, not all chargers will charge to 4,35v so if you have such cell, and 4,2v charger you will lose 100ma or so
That's what makes it funnybut they do in real world, as far as 18650 go.
