26650 size. One cell replaces two C cells using a spring adapter. Two cells fit in a 3 C cell Maglite by simply stretching the spring. 7.2 volts expands the brightness potential. Charger and batteries cheaper than NMHi. Less than 50¢ a cell. These used cells have plenty of life left. Ii bought a similar set a couple years back. The cells are long lived and robust. Using them for an electric bike project. The extra cells are used for flashlight experiments. See below.
