I had the same problem, I purchased mine from Lighthound and it's one of the AW rechargeables. REMOVE THE STICKER, before doing so, make SURE you know what's positive and what's negative, it's not hard to tell. The sticker is the only thing that made it get stuck for me.

Yes, there should only be ONE STICKER not the black PROTECTION. Yes, the sticker should be "shiny."

after reading this thread I figured i'd jam a 600s into my L4...
Result?
No good :lolsign:

after close inspection of the L4 body
the opeaning which the battery fits in, at the tail end, at the final 1 cm , the hole is very very slightly smaller, if u look closely, SureFire bore until like 1 cm to the end and then for some reason, the last final 1 cm in, the opeaning is very very slighly smaller, hence the battery will go in until 1 cm and not go any further.
can some kind souls please give some advice?

I don't like repeating myself but have you removed the sticker? When I first "jammed" my battery in it didn't go in all the way. I removed it and the sticker was pushed up and wrinkled, removed it, thus battery fit.

im assuming you have the new L4 with the round body? AFAIK, there are issues with the dimensions of the new body and the 17670's. The 17670's should fit "most" of the old style bodied L4's (4 flat sided ones) without a problem. there have been some issues with some old bodied lights, but for the newer rounded bodies i have yet to hear a 17670 fit. I actually had the same inquiry before when I was about to purchase the L4.
maybe we can wait for some others to chime in on how they got a rechargable setup for the new L4 body.

I bought two WolfEyes rechargeable battereis. One is a 1400mAh 168B and it fits perfectly. When turning the bezzel down until contact to the body there should be still some rattle while the swith is taken off. Otherwise you crashed the tip of the battery or even worse the plastic parts of your SF. My other WE 169B (1500mAh) only works great in my SF 6P (with 3.7Volt lamp). It's slightly too long for the L4.

Wow thats a first. your lucky. oh wait, IIRC there is an update on the new 17670's (1600mah) in AW li-ion thread. he mentions of a removable plastic wrapper for the battery, i think that was meant for the new L4?
or you can PM AW to see if he can help.

Surefire, again, trying very hard to prevent us using rechargables. 
So they can make more money on selling batteries.
