I have tested UT03 with a few setups:
Protected Panasonic NCR18650B (translucent insulator) 18650 - 69.8mm
Protected Panasonic NCR18650B (black insulator) 18650 - 68.7mm
IMALENT 2600mAh protected 18650 - 68.4mm
Sanyo NCR18650GA unprotected 18650 - 65.2mm
Samsung 30Q unprotected 18650 - 64.9mm
From my observation, protected Panasonic NCR18650B (1) is able to make much better contact among all the tested batteries. Tailcap can be tighten without extra effort.
17.4V is already beyond the recommended working voltage but i will find out for you. All output level related questions will be answered once production grade sample is ready.
Current UT03 does accept both protected and unprotected 18650s. However, the connection is far from perfect for unprotected 18650.
I can't deny that there is possibility. These guys are getting much better now. Delivering a substandard light will only hurt their branding in the flashlight trade. I do have fate in them after UT01 and UT02 success.

… but I can imagine the manufacturer has the freedom to change little details without GearBest (or you) knowing them. I can imagine a theoretical possibility that the actual production UT03 is not going to like button top GAs, but prefer flattop GAs; maybe button top GAs will be uncomfortably tight. It would be horrible if button top GAs are shipped (and financial aspects taken care of) before finding out they don’t fit well… Just a thought. :laughing:

Do you think this is an indication that the battery tube is maybe 1 or 2mm too long?
Interested in the light depending on price.
