The one I linked on Manafont is Li-Ion / Protected. If you purchase the ones listed from kramer, please read all the cautions as they are unprotected LiMn.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caution:
- Do not over-discharge/overcharge
- Recharge empty batteries ( resting voltage ~3.6V ) as soon as possible. Leaving LiIon batteries in discharged state will incur irreversible damage ( capacity / cycle loss )
- Do not short circuit ( will release tremendous current )
- Do not dispose of in fire.

Attention : These IMR cells have much lower internal resistance than regular LiIon 3.7V cells and they may end up with a higher ending voltage when charged in certain chargers ( especially older version WF-139 charger ). Please check the voltage of them right out of the charger to see if they are above 4.20V when fully charged with your charger. Overcharging above 4.25V may shorten life/cycles. Above 4.50V may even pop them or making them leak. DO NOT use the charger if it seems to overcharge IMR cells.

I tested some here.

i use the ultrafire orange and they seem to have great capacity...no complaints..

After doing some searching I found the test you did, Great Job!!

Thanks pounder.. Hey how do you like your T20CS?

I love it..i'm still amazed at how close the output is to the 4.6a driven 980l..seeing that it's only being driven at 2.1a or so..everyone of my co-workers looking for lights wants one, but doesn't want to pay the premium to get it lol..

the only glitch I find is when th light i off at the front switch and you double tap to strobe it only strobes for 5-10 seconds then shuts off..if the light is on this doesn't happen, but from off it has this weird behaviour..not a big deal, but something I noticed..

as it stands it is the perfect duty belt light..and sits right next to my 980l on my duty belt..it could take over, but I like having 2 lights..

Cool, I'm glad you like it... I told you that you would love it....
