Hello folks.

I just placed a order for the PD32 2016 and was wondering which 18650's you guys use? I'm looking for 3500mah and see some reviews where people say Orbtronic didn't fit etc. Before I dropped coin on batteries I thought I wouldn't ask more knowledgeable people what they run in their PD32?

thanks in advance.

I ordered two Orbtronic 3500mah for it. Hopefully I won't have any fitting issues..

I use orbtronic and don't have any issues with height. Tail cap fully seated. I own both the batteries and the same light.

I am using Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh Protected button top...these can typically be a bit longer than other protected batteries but fit just fine in the Fenix PD32

Awesome, thanks everyone. Looking forward to the PD32. I needed a EDC with throw and this light looked like it fit that role. I stopped buying lights 10 years ago but in the past month I have bought the LD12 2017 and a EO1 and now the PD32 2016. I like Fenix build quality, they seem very solid.

Congats on the light. I don't have the PD32 but I like that model a lot. I understand your reasoning for choosing Fenix if you appreciate build quality.

Received be the PD32 2016 today, I purchased two 3500mah Orbtronic and charged them up. They fit perfect like said above by Cobraman (thanks buddy) and man inside a room this things seriously lights it up. Can't wait for the sun to go down and give it a good blast down the street..It's built like a tank, nice heft and fits great in a pair of 501 Levi's... Again Fenix builds a solid light that works!
