Anyone do a real world test with there light with the new 18650 2600mAH to see how much more run time they get over the old 2200 mAH?

They are a vast improvement compared to the 2200mAh cells and the best ones available IMHO. I'm using them in my U2s and Kromas and they are great!

One thing to keep in mind is that the AW 2200mah is available with a button top while the AW 2600mah is only available with a flat top. Might not matter in some flashlights but I learned the hard way that they won't work in an EagleTac T10LC2.

That graph shows a 60% improvement in runtime over the older version, for a "20%" grain in label capacity.:thinking: Edit: Some interesting comments in that light-reviews.com thread about the particulars of what makes a protection circuit trigger (i.e. a specific current draw is necessary in addition to a set voltage value).

I wish all batteries had buttons - so it wouldn't be a guessing game .

Anybody tried AW's new P-18650 cells, 2600 mAh?
AW P-18650 cell:
Just came out a few weeks ago. I only used the older 2200 mAh version and it's OK. This one is 2600 mAh. I figure I get 7.4V @ 2600 mAh or 19.2 Wh, this is better than 4x123 primaries runtime-wise.
I want to use them in this lite, pictured in the middle. Malkoff M60-12V in Leef body:

Great performers and you don't need a magnet either. I use these in my higher amperage lights that benefit from the extra capacity.

Question, given that the new 18650 are flat-top, can you use them in a 2x18650 lite?
Why did AW make them flat top, anyway?

A few questions about these NCR18650 cells......are they protected, what is the max discharge rate and can they fire up a 1185 bulb with a single click?.....thanks.
