I switched to unprotected cells many years ago and never had a single issue, I really don’t see the need for protected cells if you know what’s in your light and know how to properly handle them.

Thanks, I’ve been using unprotected more lately, I’m pretty anal on checking/charging, but I still prefer protected cells in my lights that don’t have LVP, just in case I accidentally leave it on, which I’ve done before.

I have 4x Liitokala 26650 on the way for the L6, considered the best 26650 cell at the moment for its cost/performance balance.

Yes, very true at around 4000mAh and half the price of the Efest purple 5200mAh.

I looked at these because of the low price, in the reviews they were reported well under their rated capacity, one reviewer stated they tested at about 4000mAh, which again, isn’t bad for their price. I may have to get some,

I’ll also have to research the Efest purple 5200mAh and see how they rate in terms of their rated capacity.

Just to mention that all the reviews of the Liitokala 26650 I have seen show at least 5,000mah capacity, my own review included.
Here is the link to the reviews of the cell on this site LiitoKala 26650-50A 5000mah 26650 - great first impressions
Some posters have found that they won”t work in series without a magnet or other spacer to make contact but some find they do.
I have 6 of the cells & mine make contact fine in series in both my S70 & Z1 with no spacer :+1:
