If you compare a 3400mAh Panasonic 18650 to a 4000mAh King Kong 26650 driving a P60 at 5.0 amps you're getting about 30% more run time with the King Kong and much longer sustainable voltage throughput. That means near maximum brightness for a much longer time.

Using HKJ's battery comparator: http://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/Common18650comparator.php

The King Kong 4000mAh can really keep those amps flowing whereas the 18650 curve sky dives early on.

So would you opt for a 26650 P60 host if available? Or would you stay with your C2's and Solar Force hosts and opt to carry a spare instead?
