Samsung 25R 18650 WILL THEY WORK??

Could it be the springs have come a little compressed and the shorter cells not making contact very well(somewhere).

Do you have a run time kit you could try a different carrier?

As mentioned, the Panasonics are up against the wall at 6.8 amps for your light. Orbtronic makes a protected high drain with high capacity & will dump 10 amps continuous....they aren't cheap & you need 6 & you need to see if they will fit. A DMM would be advisable. Good quality IMR INR would work great as was also mentioned, if you are carefull.

No I haven't. Felt and looked like they made good contact.

odd one kj2:thinking: i have a feeling its some kind of contact fault, longer cells compressing springs more and works. I have been usuing samsung 30Q's in mine(so similar size to 25R's). These have been used in standard carriers without vinhs carrier mod which makes the spring contacts more stiff).

Hang out on the Battery/Electronics forum.

I enjoy 'battery/cell talk' more than the lights themselves.

Only one way to learn and that's to read a lot and ask questions.

Baby steps.

Go to HKJ's site:

http://www.lygte-info.dk/info/indexBatteriesAndChargers UK.html

You can read about how he tests batteries, cells and chargers, as well as AC adapters and power banks.

You can click on a specific battery/cell section, go to the 'comparator,' select two choices, click off the current drains that he tests them at and which mimic your device in question and then oogle at and study the results.

Rinse and repeat.

If I had a dollar for every hour I've spent reading there alone, I'd have a lot of money for a new monster light!

I enjoy learning about battery technology and the development of the new electronic archetecture even more than flashlights.

HKJ's site: http://www.lygte-info.dk/info/indexB...gers UK.html is where I spend much of my time learning about batteries.

ChrisGarett also mentions in a post above the very places where I purchase my batteries. :thumbsup:

I have begun using unprotected flat top batteries in my lights with removable battery carriers. They make changing batteries far easier than the oversized protected batteries.

My current understanding of lithium ion batteries makes this practice as safe if not safer than depending on a product that claims to protect me from risk.
