For most applications, that Orbtronic sounds pretty good. My L6 is pulling 19.38A at the tail from a pair of Efest 20700 cells (the LiitoKala cells are a bit less, around 17A as I recall), reckon those Orbtronic cells wouldn’t run it.
I don’t know how is your xhp 70.2 survive with l6 with 9000 lumen …
You are probably right, the Orbtronics may not work in your light. But I bought them for my light and I am sure they will work fine.
I haven’t run it very long at the highest level to date, who knows, might not last long. Good thing for me there’s more out there. 
Somewhere along the way I got into pushing for all a light was worth, got hooked on that and it’s just how I do it now. Always looking for maximums from any given light. Not practical, I know, but it’s the challenge…
But of course wolfdog, and in many another light they should work well also.
You DID, after all, go to a lot of trouble to post all the specs on those cells in case anyone else was interested… 
They should make a good viable alternative for a gifted L6, even with some tweaks done to it. So it’s good to know what’s out there and available. Thanks! 
I do not understand the specifics of why one should use “Protected” over IMR. I am just following the recommendation from the gentleman who sold me the light.Only a handful of his lights does he stress us to use Protected batteries.
I am just glad that I chose the Orbtronic 26650 over the Acebeam 26650. The Orbtronic had a capacity of 5096mAh with a 9A continuous load.
I am not positive, but I do not think the Acebeam can even handle a 9A load,at least not safely[too hot @ 7A]
The review below does NOT include the Orbtronic[15A max continuous discharge], instead it pairs the Xtar and Soshine against the Acebeam 26650. The Acebeam appears pitiful to me! It got way too hot at 7A .
For those who do not know the link can be translated into English. :sunglasses:
Where is a link to these protected orbtronics?
I saw them with a Google search.
Ok, if it’s the one listed on their site, then I’ll have to get some of those.
They are in Tampa, FLA. area,sal was still able to ship them to me yesterday despite all the power outages.
Let us know how the Orbtronics perform and if they fit in the L6 without have to backout the battery tube from the head a little bit.
Orbtronic usually ships really fast. Like order on Friday, here (NC) on Monday fast. Faster than Amazon Prime. :+1:

Will do,the batteries are due on Monday and the L6vn could be arriving the same day. In any event I will have both early next week.
Sal informed me that they fit in the L6.I put my trust in him!
The batteries are 68.8m with a max length of 70mm for the L6…….I believe the girth[width] should also be fine.
I have those in my stock L6. Nothing special required to run them. All parts screwed fully together and they work great.
Welcome to BLF. Thanks for the confirmation.
Put a cherry-picked XHP70.2 80cri 2-step 3000k emitter in my L6, but the hotspot is still greenish compared to the spill, which I would say is magenta-ish. I have not scratched off the phosphor at the edges of the emitter though.
Now I’m thinking getting that lower binned easywhite emitter wasn’t worth the cut in lumens and lux if I could perhaps get a cherry-picked 4000k one with higher flux bin but still decent tint to it.
De-Doming it and removing all excess phorphor will probably help, but you will get a higher cct with these new LEDs.
I agree. That is what my predecessors taught me.
I have to talk to Vinh because this does not make sense to me.
He APPROVED these batteries for these lights. I have been using them for 9 months in the K40vn and 6 months in the others.
TK61vn V4- VTC6
TN42vn-30Q
TK75vn KT-30Q.
K40vn-30Q
I am going to ask WHY I can not use High drains/IMR in the L6vn when they are perfectly fine in the aforementioned lights and many others?
I think it’s because he said unprotected cells don’t yield greater performance with however he configured the driver.
He’s also not a fan of batteries in a series.
