18650 x4 for SRK 4x XML T6

Im looking for pointers on which batteries i could be buying on a budget for a skyrayking. It DOES come with batteries, buy i’m gonna guess and say they’ll be gash ?

The unit itself was nice and cheap, at £16, so looking to keep cost of batteries down.

I’ve just bought an eagletac 3500mah 18650 for use in a Thorfire VG15 * 800lm
Along with a nitecore D2 charger.

Ive got a few other 18650’s but i suspect them all of being fake, and with no solid way to test them just yet, i’m reluctant to use them. Ultrafire junk !

Nice !!!

Anyone able to confirm if they have ordered those, were they genuine Panasonic cells inside ?

Thanks for the fast reply !!!

Samsung 30Q

I’ve ordered these

Ive purchased xtars and keeppowers from gearbest, they are all genuine. Anyway, you are covered by paypal, so you shouldn’t worry.
Also, haven’t seen fake panasonics yet, doubt anyone has.

Great, thanks !!!

The skyrayking suggests 6000lm. i’ll read that as 1400 tops………sound about right ?

I'll assume your SRK will:

  1. Lack a proper thermal path
  2. Be gently driven
  3. Be equipped with under-performing very-cool Lattice-Bright clone emitters

Can you share the link to the SRK you purchased? A properly-driven SRK is a good host for decent laptop salvage pulls if you have any. I re-wrapped some pulls to use in my SRK, but they were too short to make reliable contact. I ended up re-wrapping them with some button-tops from FastTech and they work very well now...

It was an eBay auction, as soon as it turns up, I’ll be happy to provide details of what’s in it……

worst case, it’ll be a nice housing to work with…
