Noob mistake! p20c2+18650=fail

[lovemysan]

After researching for hours, I told my wife to get me a p20c2 and a set of 18650's from tactical beam. I guess in the midst of rushing around trying to make a decision about which light to get I over looked the fact that 18650's do not fit the p20c2. So now I have a p20c2, ultrafire charger, and 2 Eagletac 18650 cells.

Is there an 18650 cell that fits this light?

What lights will fit these eagletac 18650's? or should I try to send them back?

i'll say sell the p20c2 and get a Jetbeam Jet-III M! hahaha

or alternatively you can get 17670s which is smaller and has lower capacity.

The 18650 is actually the size of the battery. 18 is the diameter in mm, 65 is the length in mm 0 indicates that it's a round cell.
You'll need a different battery.

Sell it and get the EagleTac T20C2, it takes 18650. Or get some CR123's/RCR123's?

You can use the 18650's in the EagleTac T20C2.

I was right there with you. I asked the guy I was gonna buy the lights from at the last minute and he wised me up. Ask him if he'll let you exchange for the T20C? Bummer though, with UPS ground, it'll be like 3 weeks with those 18650 sitting around...

Well, I guess I'll get some 17670's to run in this light. I run an apartment complex, so I use the low mode for maintenance and turbo/strobe for security. I'll eventually put a light on my 870p. Or maybe get one of the 900 lumen eagletacs.
