well button top protected is definitely closer to 70mm than 65mm, thats why im afraid theres not enough room, i dont wanna compress the springs too much
Seems to me any of the Wowtac lights that come with the battery that has built in USB charging (micro USB on the battery, not on the light) are set up to handle longer batteries. I tried a flat top in my Wowtac headlamp and it didn’t make solid contact with the springs.
Wowtac is basically the budget brand of Thrunite - they proudly advertise that Thrunite provides technical support.
You can see a lot of parallels between Wowtac lights and their Thrunite counterparts, as well as where they omitted certain features to target the budget price point.
Personally, I really dislike protected cells and just remove the protection circuit from any I come across. The last light I bought came with a protected 26650 that would not work in my SkyRC MC3000; the negative end of the cell was recessed and wouldn’t make contact. Just attempting to get that long beast in the charger was a chore. A little slice-n-dice yielded a 26650 just as nature intended.
hard to say but many small lights that need high drain batteries cant take protected cause its too long and u dont want protected anyways in high lumens lights…
