I thought about getting some of these over the NCR18650B just to save some $$. Since they are slightly lower capacity than the new 18650B, are they still manufactured, or do I need to worry about old stock? Sometimes I wonder why they wouldn't just focus on making the new ones only? Maybe a dumb question...sorry.
:laughing: thats fine as i only give dumb answers anyway :laughing: no such thing as a daft question!!!!
I got these as the 3400 had sold out,there is a shortage now down on pany cells with as far as i know the tesla contract(info been given from a member and from a supplier of cells) Also app pany need to build a new factory to meet demand for tesla........probably up by now :laughing: knowing the chinese,dont hang around and very efficient!
In real world use and how you use your light its not going to be hardly noticed,if you top off your cells then even less tbh.I top them off after use,so in truth i could probably use 2300mah cells,just take longer to top off :laughing: but thats just a way of looking at it.
At the moment,going off on china shop they have got KeepPowers in,so bought some 3100 protected too,look on banggood(never had an issue over the years)
So imho go for it,dont let 300mah get in your way,its not much and certainly not enough for a deal breaker again imho.
These cells if old stock dont look it,look nice and fresh,if can tell by a code a will gladly post it,but in truth it does not bother me,as long as they work then i am happy.......obv within reason.Its not like they are $1000 each,top off and should last many years as in 5+ easy.
3600mah are a long way off due to this tesla business i believe .........."i believe"
t 8 cells,4 unprotected pany,4 keeppowers and a mini DQG XP-G2 R5 in 4c flavour but silly 10180 cells...............:thinking:
