Protection is needed if your lights dont have low voltage protection, if they do you can use unprotected cells which are less expensive, you also need to verify if they need button top and what current they draw (Very roughly 3A per 1000 lumens) and choose cells with a higher current rating.

Look at Nkon
For example 10 high capacity MJ1 for 3.09€ each.

Don’t buy cells from ebay/aliexpress unless quality/authenticity has been confirmed by testers/users.

really thanks for the reply.
I didn’t know the website. price is good.

only shipping cost a bit high.

Where are you? Sundarban is either India or Bangladesh, quite far from Nkon. Shipping prices have increased worldwide because of the pandemic.

I bought THESE back before shipping prices went crazy. They are good cells that have always tested out to be legit. Cheap 10A cells. Made plenty of packs out of those cells.

The price is probably higher than you are expecting, bute whenever I buy batteries from AliExpress this is the store I go to:
Aliya’s Battery Store: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1382210

Always reliable, fast shipping and original batteries as far as I can tell! If they ship to your country, it may be a good option!
