What is the highest capacity 18650 rechargeable battery that will fit in this beauty? I've saw talk of the 3100, is it true that the 3400 won't fit? Batteries...what are the best recommended and charger for a price that won't break the bank? Saw...

I agree with Paul Moll, I bought the 18650 Batteries thru amazon and they are better than the AAA batteries. Idk how this worked but, when I used the AAA batteries I only had one mode, but when I used the 18650 battery all modes were accessable.

Just got mine today. Haven't tested actual capacity but with 18650 batteries inside it looks that is actually probably around 15,000 mah. I'm going to test by fully discharging a device that is 5000 mah. If i can't get enough recharges to be impressed I'll be returning mine.

I charge 18650 batteries from 2900 mah to 3400 mah on my unit. Most all 18650 batteries are 650mm long as well as 26650. The first two numbers indicate the diameter and the last three indicate the length. Hope this helps. Ray

The battery is a 18650, they are on amazon, just one thing some of the batteries have a pcb which makes it bigger, and will not fit, ive used the 3.7v deep blue 5000 mah and they work 2 for five i believe. And it should stop holding a good or normal charge, maybe wont charge at all, but there is an amount of recharge cycles that the company should have recommended.

The 18650 charge fine with the 1000mah, and will charge two at that rate. I don't think the 26650 batteries will fit in this charger and I don't see them as being supported on the amazon page.

They aren't even 4000mah @ 500ma discharge rate. They don't even have the (advertized) capacity of 18650's. After a few charge/discharge cycles they (4 cells) average out at about 3150mAh. The lower the price, the more creative the advertizing.On my charger the mah in is only about 3200mah. Did they not say the 6000mah was TOTAL for the two batteries.

the 18650 will not fit this flashlight. i own both this flashlight and the slightly larger ones that use the 18650 lithium rechargables. the smaller light uses 14500's or AA batteries...they are the same size. 14500's are highly recommended as they put out a lot more light and are 3.6v instead of the AA's which are 1.5v

The 18650 batterie are larger that the 14500, and need a specific charger for them. They are about half-way between a AA and C size battery, the 14500 is an AA size battery.

Good Morning, I am scared to say that it will take any battery but as long as its a quality 18650 you should be safe. I just checked to be sure and dropped a few different style 18650's into the bore and all worked. The light comes with the Fenix ARB-L1t 3400 + I am tossing in 2 Xtar CR123a's. Thanks, Shane

We are lucky if the rechargeable batteries last 3 hours...so very annoying. I started doing a little research and found that these rechargeable batteries are the best on the market : eneloop AA 1800 cycle, Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries, 4 Pack (discontinued by manufacturer) Anyone have any experience with them?! They have really good reviews. I'm wondering if I do get them if I should get a better battery charger, if it really matters at all?!

Well in the first place, I doubt you will find a true 4000mAh 18650. Panasonic has a 3400mAh and that is the highest true 18650. Anyway to answer your question the battery will be heavier then a 3000mAh. However, some 18650 have a PCB for overheating, these batteries will be longer. FYI; UltraFire does not make an 18650 over 3000mAh. These batteries pictured here are counterfeit and Amazon know it. Do not buy. A true UltraFire 18650 battery weighs 1.5 ounce (42.5242847 Grams). The Cathode plate (negative end) is brass in color and has their trademark stamped on this brass colored plate. This trademark stamp states Ultrafire (not UltraFire) with two fire flames located directly above the "e". The Maximum mAh (milliamp hour) is 3000. Any UltraFire 18650 battery stating that it is over 3000mAh is a counterfeit. Any UltraFire 18650 that does not have the above description is a counterfeit. The range's of the UltraFire 18650 batteries are 3000mAh, 2600mAh, 2400mAh and 1200mAh, http://www.ultrafire.net/shownews.asp?id=60 http://www.ultrafire-shop.net/page3.php http://www.ultrafire-*shop.net/data/storage/attachments/94a73d230e2445b0feea1ef30f550de0.jpg *The above web site is a CR123A not an 18650 but this is how the Cathode appears on the 18650. By the way, I am in no way affiliated, connected to or know anyone affiliated or connected with UltraFire. I am a consumer that is getting tired of being ripped off, lied to and cheated. So I decided to do some research and this is what I found.

The batteries are known as 18650 and are amazing and rechargeable. Usually located in the "customers also bought these items" section. It's a great light. Durable/tough, bright and is available in 5 Mode, which I would recommend. Also, definitely prefer this over the 502b, which is just not as rugged, but would be lead to believe it is newer and better as it is a higher number. Not sure but off topic.Great light 18650 are the batteries it needs or you could use VERY expensive 2 x cr123 non chargeable batteries. WASTE OF MONEY. GO WITH A PAIR OF 18650 AND A CHARGER for about 10 bucks! Hope it helps. The batteries are known as 18650 and are amazing and rechargeable.

I'm kind of having the same issue. The new batteries I have put in, die fast. I have been using regular store bought batteries. I know there are higher power batteries sold at places like Batteries Plus, that are specifically designed for high lumen flashlights. Might be worth looking into if you want to have optimum performance from your flashlight. I recently ordered a Zebralight SC52. Waiting on it now, but also ordered a $10 high powered AA battery to use in it. It was a battery they sell, and recommend. If you still don't have good light after trying these batteries, I would send it back, or try an exchange, because these Nebo Redlines are pretty cool. Good Luck. Hope I helped in some way.

I have several 18650 batteries. They are all the red UltraFire batteries, but I'm sure they would be the same size as yours. The single red UltraFire 18650 battery is too long and too narrow for this flashlight. At least the "AAA" batteries it takes are easy to find.

Robert R.: What did you "figure out" that required "no further comments"?! This is so frustrating trying to figure out which Sony batteries to order. Exactly which battery did you get to fit securely and is the "included battery adaptor" that "wimberleynerd" mentions needed? If so I didn't get one. Please explain. Thanks. SM

Yes. It's still an 18650 which is the main part you should be looking for, this battery just has more mAh than the one you're taking about.
