Ok, so I am getting a light that uses 4 14500’s in series. I am planning to use protected batteries for this light, I am thinking either XTAR or Keeppower’s.
But, I am open to suggestion, since this will be a first for me…
What would you use?
Thanks Matt
this light is in our plan 
OK Mankerlight ,I am in.
Lol, never mind the OP guy’s :disappointed:
Matt I don’t have experience with Xtar cells but have used keeppower, though not extensively. They weren’t high current but you can’t really expect that from little cells. Otherwise they seemed fine.
Pink… you know the light… am I correct in assuming that many series cells should be the same, charged together and protected?
Same make and capacity…?…yes and no. Using cells of even slightly varying capacities will also have different internal resistance so drain at different rates. If the light is not a hotrod and all the cells are protected then I don’t see it as a huge problem. There maybe slightly shorter run times but no biggy. If you’re relying on driver LVP on unprotected cells then that will be a problem if the cells are not matched.
Hope I understood your question correctly 
I’ve been contemplating this setup to power an xhp35…
