Batteries for MF05

Gidday everyone,

Just about to order the Astrolux MF05, and I am finding conflicting information about which batteries to use. Some reviews say it will use protected, and others say unprotected.

Wondering what people think? Who may already own this light?

Can someone recommend a reasonably priced 18650?

Thanks
Craig

lanplus is AUD$14ea https://www.lanplus.com.au/18650-battery?product_id=251

I’ve used this vape shop for molicel, $11ea when you buy 4 https://vapoureyes.com.au/collections/batteries-chargers-and-accessories/products/molicel-p26a-18650-battery?variant=32733162438759

Edit: Grain of salt, I don’t have one myself

Perfect, thanks mate.
