I can not recommend the ultrafire grey's from buyincoins as only 2 out of 4 worked they only take around 900 mAh, one was reading 1 volt when put under load and with the plastic cover removed they looked like they had spot weld marks on them so i asume they are recycled laptop batteries.
So i give the flames the thumb up sofar for best bang for buck and it looks like my drop-in,s and my C8 are under driven even though the Trustfire C8 has the same driver as the KD C8 from the factory.
I will update the current draw tests and the new batteries ive ordered come in and i will swap a driver out for some thing with some more grunt to do some higher amp testing, hope this helps.
