I would assume with board means a protection PCB board is attached to the bottom of the battery; No board means unprotected. The unprotected version should be the dimensions Shadowww states. The protected cell will add a little to the length.Sorry to post this here if not the right place, but need answer to a question. What do they mean when talking about 26650 batteries when they list: Plus Board (Yes or No)? Thanks for the help.
