Are the RediLast 3100mAH 18650 batteries any good? I found a bundle on a Nitecore TM26 with 8 of these batteries and a Nitecore i4 charger.

I have never seen this brand of battery discussed here before, so I am a little hesitant to use them.

they're phenomenal. EDC+/Redilast has them so the label/sticker NEVER runs over the protection strip (which would make them extra fat)

Well glad to hear they are good. I see that they are typically sold for about $20 each. So, with the bundle in my original post, it includes basically $160 of free batteries...!

I use them in a custom 2p2s pack that I built for my active heat winter jacket and the work supreme. I get almost a full 8 hours on the pack before it needs to be recharged. The OEM battery pack barely made 2 hours before I needed to recharge them. I just recently tested each cell with my cba3 and all 4 cells are within a few milliamp hours of each other and still have close to 90 percent capacity left.

Being the cautious about lithium ion batteries, I will most likely retire them from jacket duty and place them in a few flashlights that don't pull the current that the jacket heaters do until they reach the 80 percent mark, then off to the recycling bin.

Very good quality cells and very consistent results
