Will the AW 18650 2600 work in an Eagletac M2X and T10LC2? Thanks

"note that the new AW 2600 flat top doesn't work on EagleTac T20C2 unless you attach a small magnet either at the flashlight head contact or the battery positive end to make the contact."
(emphasis added)

or from this thread regarding the EagleTac T10L, with a response from EagleTac:

Dear Steve:

Sorry we didn't catch this thread eariler. Please use button top 18650 batteries such as cells from AW or the EagleTac 18650 cells.

So the button-top AW 2200 will work but the flat-top AW 2600 will not (without battery magnets).

Thanks for the info.

due to the protruding/raised lip reverse polarity protection on most of these lights - flat tops will not work -
conversely I have not found a button top cell that does not work regardless of capacity (ie.length)...

The M2 series on the other hand should work either way as the battery carrier does not contain the reverse polarity protection ring/lip that the other models have.

I'd be leary of using a magnet due to potential for cell shorting against the metal reverse polarity ring = :poof:
