Re: AW vs Orbtronic vs KeePower 18650
I've used all three, but have not seen significant differences between them. But then I don't push my batteries very hard. I've also tried the other major brands (LG, Sanyo, Samsung), again, all decent cells in my experience.
As for the cost of AWs, it's not a problem since I rarely have more than 3 flashlights that use lithium ion cells in use at any one time. Also I only have maybe 2 dozen of the larger lithium ions (18650 & larger) as I'm mainly into small pocket lights (CR2/15270 and smaller) and those don't cost as much.
On the other hand, we have almost 120 AAA and AA NiMH batteries in use because of all the remotes and other devices around the house that use them.
