I recently bought a SF L4, I love it, but why it doesn't fit protected 17670 which works well with my E2D body? the L4 and E2D body should have same size right?:thinking:

I am watching this closely. I thought I heard someone mention 14670 size. I almost ordered them today. Glad I waited to hear this.

Could be either be your individual cells or variation in the body bore. I have a couple of 17670's from rscanady and they fit just fine in his L4 body and in my E2e body.

Just wonder if L4 has new version, my L4 was arrived from surefire.com last week. If this is the problem by different version, maybe I need look for a old L4 or E2E body for my L4 :(.

I bought a protected 17670 cell from Lighthound and had to pull the outside label off the battery to get it to go in my L4. And it doesn't go in the tailcap end either you have to remove the KL4 head a put it in from the top. Kinda wierd but once i figured it out it works like a champ now.

I have Pila 168s and AWs protected 17670s, both are fine in my E2d, E2e, G2 and L4s. I'd been waiting on Jon Burlison to restock the new Pila 600s, he says the new ones are fixed to work in the Surefire lights the way the old 168s did.

AW's 17670 is very tight fit for SF L4 without peeling off the sticker especially on the tail 1/2" area. Tried to lubricate the battery then it works ok. just need to use a pen or sticks to push out the batter for exchanging.
