Yep they are!
I believe the 16650 has more capacity than the 17670.
I do not have a 17670 to try it out.

Yes and it's a very good battery. Run them in multiple SF hosts.

I came to realize I like the low mode in the M61T with the dual mode ring... It's rather useful at its 5 lumens when you need longest runtime and be discreet. It's just bright enough to get things done and not a lumen more. it's like the old circa year 2000 Gerber or the Infinity that produced single digit lumens, *but* at your fingertips is the 400 lumen mode.
You can always bump it from 5 lumens to 25 by switching to a 2-celled configuration.
And going from 5 to almost 30 is a more noticeable change than going from 325 lumens to 425.

It's very odd that a 16650 battery has more mah's than a 17670 since the 17670 is bigger. I suppose though that there are all types of similar sized batteries with varying amounts of capacity. It just depends who made it. Given the same manufacturer and materials a 17670 would hold more capacity.
Well I know that at one point the 18650 batteries were getting constant upgrades while the 14500, 17500, 18500, 17670 and rcr stayed stagnate. I just depends on what size battery the manufactures want to invest in based on projected sales.

Yes, 16650 is a more popular "newer" size than 17670, and battery tech (like LED tech) continues to improve.
Although I'm sure there is still new old stock around (and rewraps, of course) , I'm not aware of any current production in the 17670 size right now.
There might be some I don't know, but I couldn't find any good 17670 cells at all, when I last looked ( maybe a year ago? )

Ok I'm loving the look of them Surefire/Malkoff legos. Anyone have any pictures of a e1 body lego? And how are they? ?

I would imagine. But just love them little E1E bodies and when paired to Malkoff head and tail bet it's a looker

Hello, what, *cough* you have my attention, yes ...
Mine too, got one inbound. In fact, I have another L4 Lumamax body and Malkoff tailcap inbound too for my VME head.

I've just noticed on the Malkoff M91T listing that the momentary output has been increased to 1040 lumens, with a constant of 750!!!
I know that there had been a recent increase over the original version but I'm sure it wasn't listed as high as that.
I may have to buy another head!!!!

I see that the brightness is increased for M61T and M61Hot as well: 480 and 740lm. I guess this is initial brightness and it drops a lot after a while like with M91T.
I am not sure I appreciate this because it probably will shorten the runtime in any case.
