Which 18650 in Maelstrom G5

JimLob65 · Jan 12, 2014

I am switching from CR123's to 18650's in my flashlights and recently bought a couple Fenix ARB-L2S 3400mAh batteries and have an XTar VP1 charger on the way. The problem is the batteries are too long for my 4Sevens Maelstrom G5. What higher capacity 18650 batteries woek in these lights?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I use AW 2200's. They need a pretty pronounced button on top. Ones that don't work for me: Redilast 3100, Nitecore 3400, AW 2600. The Nitecore is a button top, but not quite as high as the AW 2200.

A magnet might work, if it didn't make the battery too long.

Button top Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mah such as FASTTECH SKU# 1345500

Not to be confused with their much longer and fatter protected cousins.

Compatibility issues, if a flashlight with over-discharge protection, battery protection board can be removed using the operating safety. Consult the 47 best customer service, Which 18650 in Maelstrom G5?
