Hi, got to find a single 26650 to put in my Yezl 3 (when it will arrive). With 3 (I’ve bought 5 :bigsmile: ) extension tubes will use 3x18650 with adaptor. In a single cell configuration while I want to use a 26650. So, between there:
I am looking for a cheap source of the keepower 4200 unprotected IMR, but only can find it only on some national shops which want around 22$(Shipping kills the deal). So if anyone knows a Chinese source I would be glad.
My EVVA 5200 protected do NOT fit in my Y3 2 cell arrangement. Too big. Actually 2 18650 from a laptop don’t work either - too small. Bloody fickle light.
The protected Keeppower 5200s are over 71mm too. So if the EVVA are too long, these KPs are still going to be too long as well. As far as I know, they have the same cell as the EVVA, but different protection circuits. The 5200s, except the unprotected flat tops that RMM has, are all going to be too long in the Y3 if aeou is correct. Others may sell unprotected flat tops too, I dont know I havent looked.
Maybe stick with protected 4000s, 4200s or 4500s as they can be found under 70mm. But I would wait to find out exactly how long the tubes int he Y3 are before ordering anything. It could be they only take upto a 67mm long cell for example.
I would go to Illumination Supply and get the KeepPower Unprotected 26650 5200mAh cells. I’ve purchased a number of them recently from Calvin and they are great. They also offer a discount for BLF members, and his packaging and shipping are as good as it gets. They are listed as flat-tops, but they are raised, and work perfectly in a series configuration using 2 or more together.
