Some, ya I could use some, like 50 if the price was right. Or eve better still would be 32350 1/2 "D" cell size li-ion..... Hands trembling at the thought.
A bandsaw and a little JB Weld... I mean, how hard could it be?
Maybe you can do a howto video? :bigsmile:

Are there finally 26350’s??!! Or are these some fake 26(18)350’s…?
We definitely need HKJ to test these.
Who can request a sample? You need to have an account at alibaba.com…
Says minimum quantity 200?
I just requested a sample pack. I think. The website is kinda buggy. If I hear back from them I will report.
Another possible seller or Mfg?
How about asking some of the Mfgs here if they have any? Or if they will consider it?
The same seller but no price.(now)
But very good when they sell it single.
I think we can discount these guys, they can only supply 6 Billion pieces per month.
How many does 6000000000 translate too? LOL

Efest is watching with interest. If there are enough votes, they might consider it. They are worried that it will be a dead cell, just like 26500 cells are.
I’m curious… What’s the purpose of such a short fat cell? Especially for a flashlight? Stacking, for high voltage LEDs?
The main reason I want them is it means we could run 6 volt emitters like XHP-70 in any 26650 light such as HD2010. It would also mean that I have a 5,000 lumen shorty maglite.
Here is my update on progress with that vendor. They did answer me back and agreed to send samples. With the cost of shipping for 4 pc is $45 bucks. I could actually tolerate the gouge to find out if these are any good or not. However looking at that cell I see that its NOT an IMR type. This means no powering up XHP emitters. This has me thinking we need to keep looking.
Why? What light would use it besides custom?
could fuel some serious hotwires with these too.
1/2 d lifepo4 to make magcharger packs with?
possibilities are endless….
Any single-26650 light you wanted to stick a ~6v LED in.
Thanks for trying. I’m looking for 26350 batts to do exactly what you said but they need to be IMR for sure.
However, since there are several factory-made 1x18650 and 1x26650 XHP lights out there now, its just a matter of time before a modder makes an aftermarket circuit to run on one cell. Its just a matter of when……
It would pretty difficult to get a step up DC-DC converter to be able to be small enough to fit into a 26650 light. Look at the 6v xhp-70 say if you wanted to drive this at anywhere near its rated level (around 5amps) using a 4.2-3.0v cell you would need to pull close to 10 amps out of it. That DC-DC current is way to much for small electronics that would fit into a 26650 torch to handle!
Would 2 x 26350 NON-IMR batterys be able to handle 5 amp drain at shorter (pun not intended) run times? This would similar to the NCR18650B which can handle 6.7amps But it doesn’t really like too and Ah drop off dramatically. Would make a great hand warmer in winter though!
