Hi,
I bought a Jetbeam RRT-01 a month ago to replace by Sunwayman V11R (my EDC) that was damaged. I thought that I could use my supply of 16340 batteries which does work, kind of. It works OK as long as you don't shake it even lightly, then it flickers.
The battery that it came with is a 18350 with a micro USB charging port. It looks like it's about 40mm long instead of 35mm for a 18350 or 34mm of a 16340.
The change to 18350 is a welcome one with the 1100mAH capacity but I'm afraid that a 18350 without the extra 5mm (for the USB) will flicker when shaken.
So, to me it looks like they designed this to fit this funky battery and I'm afraid that standard 18350s will
flicker when lightly shaken like the 16340 is doing, unless I can find some with the USB port on them. Which I don't need since I have a nice Nitecore D4 charger.I guess, I'll find out. What do you guys think, do I need to buy these funky batteries?
Thanks
