Maelstrom G5 V2 being my first 18650 powered flashlight, I went ahead and purchased two Orbtronic 3100mah 18650 batteries a few days ago. Although the first mode group (Max/Strobe/SOS/Beacon) works fine on the flashlight, I found that my second mode group (Max/High/Medium/Moonlight) is missing the high mode due to the Orbtronic 18650 batteries I'm using. I confirmed this by using normal cr123's and found that the High mode was "restored". I am planning on purchasing new 18650's, but was wondering if any Maelstrom G5 owners can shed some light based on experience, which 18650's work with all the modes and which don't for all the mode groups. I have my eyes on AW 2200mah and AW 2900mah so far, because AW seems to be a pretty recognized brand and the store that I am purchasing it from only offers these two 18650's.
