Roger that on being sold out.
The question remains.
I have waited years to acquire products; I don't mind waiting until they come back in stock.
1) Does anyone who owns a Malkoff MD4 tube and Orbtronic 3600mAh cells know if they fit?
2) If I cannot purchase them from Orbtronic by December I may look into getting the smaller capacity cells.
Thanks, guys!
Evidently Panasonic released a small batch of 3600s to people in the business, kind of like 'dealer samples.' Not many people got them in the overall scheme of things and the chances of people who did get them, having an MD4 AND reading your post here on an obscure 'flashlight' forum, asking about whether they fit, is a long shot.
Do you have any 18650s that fit in your MD4, so you could measure and let us know what that measurement is and maybe somebody comes along, who has a 3600 Orbtronic cell, but not the Malkoff and he can measure his cell, so you can then compare notes?
Might have a better chance that way and personally, if you're not using your light because you don't have the 3600s, or are waiting for them, that would be a shame, as there is really little practical difference between the available 3400s and the 3600s.
You probably won't notice the difference at all, unless you're carrying around a nice stopwatch and timing things to the Nth degree.
