Today I received my order of AW IMR 18650 cells. Each cell is about 1/8" shorter than my other AW Li rechargable cells. Using 3 of there IMR cells gives me almost 3/8" too short total to make proper contact in my Leef 3 cell body? I am leary of using magnets for fear of them sliding around and making contact with the flashlight body. It looks to me that using a magnet on the bottom of cell 1 & 2 would do the job. Using them on the top of cell 1 or the bottom of cell 3 might cause them to move around as the head or tailcap springs were tightened against them. For those who need to use magnets is my thinking correct on this? Is it safe to use them in the manner that I described? I guess that it would cause the cells to stick together as they slide out for a battery change?
