Based on the advice of this forum (which was outstanding by the way), I bought an ArmyTek Predator torch for night boating...Never thinking I'd get hooked on these darn things, I made the mistake of doing a little reading, and came across the Dereelight Nightmaster. I was considering the Marine Beam, but really didn't want something so large, and the Dereelight looked like an ideal torch to accompany my ArmyTek.
So, I decided to take the jump and buy one, along with the red LED pill and xSearcher head. It arrived in the mail today, and like a kid at a Ferrari dealer, I unpacked it and what a beautifully made piece of equipment it is. I installed one of my Panasonic 18650 3.7V/3400mAh batteries, clicked the switch, and nothing. So, I grabbed the manual, which sadly is the last thing I ever look at, and to my dismay, found that it calls for a "nipple top" battery.
I had no clue there were physical variations of the 18650 battery...So the question is, what is a comparable battery to my current Panasonic's that have a "nipple" top?
Thanks!
