Review: Callie's Kustoms 18650 test

It seems a good option for high peferormance battery.

just checked there website *No international Orders*

The one problem I have is that these are BIG. I can't even come close to getting one in my Zebralight SC60w and it even catches the neg. end (protection circuit) a little in an L2p.

The performance is great, but it can't perform if I can't get it in the light. I'm probably just going to strip the cell bare since the light I'm most concerned with already has low voltage cut-off built in.

Fits my L2s just fine , almost a perfect fit in the L2T ...

I guess there would be some variation - Do you have a DIA on those ?

Fits my L2 fine as well. It even rattles a little.

It DOES fit the L2P, it must just have a little ridge that catches the opening as it going in. Also, with an AW 2900 I had a piece of paper in it to stop any rattle, the CK would not go in with the paper in there.

i don't trust my caliper or the person using it (me) but here's what I measured:

CK 3100 at protection circuit: 18.48mm

L2P ID: 18.83mm

SC60w ID: 18.43mm

L2 ID: 18.96mm

Not a bad performance at all. I mostly prefer a half powered 8-10 hours powerlight and only need full power for seconds. And CK seems to jump a step forward in this.

Thanks for the review.

Can try Redilast 3100s, they do international. Should be the same stuff and lower price for International.

does anyone know where the protection circuit used on the battery comes from? Thanks

I just left the CPF in anger. A member posted a question looking for the highest power in a protected 18650. So I posted the link to Callie's Customs and they summarily deleted it. Rather questionable behavior.

fellow northern californian. you will like it much better here!

Unless the link is to a payed advertiser , they will agresively remove such ....

ufokillerz, check the Budget Light Forum thread, linked at the top of this thread tells all about it.

thanks cabfrank!

Do you know where to get them the cheapest possible?

They are at 19.75$ each plus 2.5$ shipping each (more than two it is slightly cheaper per battery).


Or if anyone could get the CK for me within the US, I could ask on a spanish forum I belong to make a group buy and try to reduce the costs a little, at least it could be 4 batteries for me and another colleague.

Callies are $14.95… I guess I missed something. Why the Redilast if Callie’s cost $5 less?

I have just found Callie´s also offer international shipping, but they are 23.9$ each plus 6$ shipping which I find too expensive.Here is the link for international shippings http://callieskustoms.com/CalliesKustoms-BatteriesInternational.html

So, redilast would be the cheapest option unless someone could get the Callie´s in the US and send them to Spain..

Whoa! That’s a jump in price! Now I get the reasoning for Redilast. I wonder why they are so expensive plus shipping?

+ 1

What's the their stated reason for deletion?

I posted a link for Kallies. It's not allowed. Some people do it without being censored. Just lucky I guess. Also ass-baiting is not allowed. Not sure what that is 'though. Also they don't like it when you say bad things about $urefire lights. Whatever.
