hello, im looking for some good 26650 cells for my hd 2010.
from doing some readups, sounds like king kongs are highly recommended.
are there any others or should i just get those? can you guys send me a link to where you guys purchase your 26650’s because i really do not want to get fakes.
and if you guys can suggest me a decent and cheap charger, preferably one that can charge 18650 as well…super!
Intl-Outdoor Store has genuine King-Kong’s.
TrustFire 5000mAh ones are decent too if you need protected ones.
For charger… either Xtar WP2 II or ML-102, but not all 26650’s fit in them.
I bought my King Kong (INR raised top) from I-O-S, just beware the raised top doesn't fit all 26650 lights (like the Cyclone C88). For a charger, how about the Trustfire TR-005? It charges at 1.5A so it's suited well for 26650's, but only higher-end, higher-capacity 18650's.
I use the ML-102 USB charger from I-O-S. Bought it for the 1A charge rate (see HKJ's review on this though) and USB charging of other devices.

thanks fellas. so the difference between the inr and icr’s are raised top and not?
i will be using these for the hd 2010, will the inr’s or icr’s be better?
i might get that sky ray 9 xml too so it will need to fit that light.
the only charger that interest me was that xtar wp2 because it can charge 2 at a time.
do you know if the kk fit that charger? any other chargers? i think i seen a trustfire one that charges two at a time too, but now i cant find it. i just remember the trustfire was in blue writing. haha
I believe the differences between ICR and INR were discussed in pretty good detail in The 26650 Batteries thread. If I remember correctly, the INR are a safer chemistry which is why I went with INR. I know you don't want to mix the types in a multi-cell light!
How about the Sysmax/Nitecore Intellicharger v2? See this comment on charging currents and the way it splits between channels. It won't be fast at 750mA, but you could charge (2) 26650's at the same time. Note that the raised-top's probably won't fit (too long) according to HKJ's comment on button top 26650's possibly being too long.

awesome thanks. going with inr’s then. prolly gonna do more research on a charger.
since that sysmax nitecore will not work with the inr’s.
Hello,TR-006 may be not bad. 2 channels,also fits for 18650,16340,etc.
TrustFire Flame 26650 with 5000mAh capacity.
I just came back here to post about the TR-006! Apparently 1A per channel? Might be a review here on BLF, don't remember. $12.88 at Manafont.

Nice price ha.
it has a manual switch,3.6 4.2V if i remember.
thanks for the links. that charger and trustfire flame combos seems like a good price.
are these the 26650’s that members are refering to when then they trustfire 26650s?
because they didnt mention flames.
thats the charger that i was trying to find. i remember reading up on it but cant seem to find it. i might just have to get this one.
Xtar SP2, that’s all I have to say.
I have a single TFF 26650 that I only got for my HD2010, and I like it. That being said, I wish I also would have bought a dedicated 26650 charger I would have been happier. I was shown on BLF how to charge that big cell with my TrustFire TR-001 charger using a couple pennies, and it works. So, for now that’ll have to suffice.
I want at least a pair of Kongs, given such positive reviews here, but it seams I may have an HD that is at least regulate and not direct drive, so it may not matter all that much. With how highly regarded and well reviewed the REAL TrustFire Flame cells are around here, I don’t thing I’m settling for much less - especially considering my HD is topping out at 3.5A no matter what I’m powering it with.
If your HD2010 is one of those capable of pulling 5A, get the Kongs and a good charger meant for that size cell. You can’t really lose much with the TFFs, but the Kongs and a high current torch seems to be a winning combo. 
Don’t know if this is of any help or not. But I recently bought a 4Sevens single bay charger. So far I’m impressed with it. It’ll charge 16340’s all the way up to 26650’s. Thought it was a good price too.
I’d probably also opt for 4Sevens branded 26650’s too.
The TR-006 looks perfect for 26650’s, but seems to have some quality issues.
If a vendor starts selling it from a US warehouse, I’ll buy one anyway, but only then because I want a reasonable location to return it to if I have problems.
I Second this Motion!
Yes, those are the only Trustfire 26650's I am aware of. I'd stick with the TR-005 charger (single bay 1.5A charge rate) over the TR-006.

I got one of the 4Sevens chargers, but it only charges to 4.12v. It’s a good charger, but I’d like a little more out of it. Obviously just a variation in production - does yours charge to 4.2v?
I haven’t got any 26650’s yet and I only got the charger on Monday. So far only done a few 18650’s and 16340’s on it. I think they where around 4.14-4.18v. I’ve got another 18650 to charge tonight so I’ll post up what it terminates at.
