I recently purchased 6 Sanyo NCR18650GA cells, and an XTAR SV2 charger from IMRbatteries. I have two questions I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
1) The NCR18650GA cells fit my 47’s MMX-360 really tightly. To put it in perspective, my current NCR18650B can easily slide in and out of the flashlight, but the NCR18650GA fits so tightly I have to fling the light to get it out. Is it safe for me to use the NCR18650GA in the MMX-360?
2) The XTAR SV2 charger can charge 2A x 2 slots. Can I charge both the NCR18650B and NCR18650GA at 2A?
I’m just not sure if the tight fit has any negative effects on both the battery and the light, but I can get the battery out with some effort :D. Is it safe to use then?
Another question: I currently charged all 6 cells using 2A to 98% or 99, and stored them in the plastic container. However, as I placed them back into the charger to check the capacity, the charger read at about 88. Is this normal? Why is this happening?
