Think I’m with you. So basically Olight have made it so that you need to use their batteries?
I’m okay with that,I just wanted to make sure my 30Q’s were okay.
I have the Sofirn SP36 coming soon so will the Samsungs be okay in that?
Thanks for the explanation, CK. That probably explains why the first Olight I got came with a dead proprietary battery.
So what alligator convinced Olight that the “give away the printer, sell expensive ink; give away the gun, sell expensive ammunition” business model was worth respecting??
I ordered 4-Samsung 30Q button top batteries from Neal’s Gadgets( he only sent me 2 and I had to dispute the charges for the missing 2, since he would NEVER respond to my emails.), and the two 30Q’s I did receive, run turbo fine in my S2R Baton II.
My 30Q’s do not have the non-disposable icon on them, they are pink, and the only text they have on them is:
INR 18650-30Q
SAMSUNG SDI
141
Also the text on mine is not a bold black. It is printed in a lighter black, dot matrix print style.
No, but when you look at the text on the battery, it says they are sold by 18650.UK.
When you you to the website of 18650.UK (in the UK) you can see three pictures of this battery.
On the other side is printed, as is on all of my 30Q’s (including a dozen 30Q button top’s)
INR18650-30Q
SAMSUNG SDI
136
EDIT: some re-sellers print their own info on the opposite side of the battery (enough space)
It’s a decent seller,I have also seen lots of reviews using these batteries with no issues. I suspect that it’s because it’s shorter so I will get some other 18650’s to compare.
