17650 Diameter variables by manufacture / brand

flashmenow · Jun 23, 2011

Hi all. As battery's diameters from different manufactures are varied. I am wondering if some folks that had different brands and a caliper could take some measurements of the diameter of the 17650's you have in hand and post up the information please.

I have a Vital Gear 2 cell body that is "very" slim I want to use 17650's in place of the standard 18650 length battery as they won't fit.

Thanks for any and all input.

Just a note about measuring diameter: On protected cells there is a wire from the plus pole to the minus pole, this wire makes the battery a bit thicker where it runs. Remember to include this in the diameter.
The actual construction can be seen here: The anatomy of a Protected battery.
