How Sufficent is Good Old NCR18650B ? [2017]

[fuzun]

Hello,

My first post was about how to find below $15 good zoomable. But after digging in this forum, now I am planning to buy these:

*Convoy C8 Clear
*Jaxman E2L
*Skilhunt H03
*BLF Q8
*BLF Thrower (forgot the name)
*Convoy s2+ uv

Unfortunately, in my country (Turkey) no one ships decent batteries to us (only fake ultrafire from aliexpress it seems). I can buy a NCR18650GA for $25 but I do not want to do that. I do not want to feed those so called muslim blood suckers.

The only deal I have seen is $5,5 NCR18650B.

Now I am wondering, is there any problem using this for any of those listed above or generally other flashlights? For example will this old battery be able to power blf q8?

I am not just wondering about if a flashlight works with this battery, I also wonder if it can provide sufficent power.

I hope you understand my English, thank you

Lastly,

This forum and this hobby are great!

Hey how are you. To my knowledge, the NCR18650B is able to power all the lights above including the Q8. I do prefer to use modern batteries like the GA though…

Edit:

Have you tried NKON? https://ru.nkon.nl/
I have no idea if they ship to Turkey, but you might want to check it out…

P.S. For the Q8 you need button top cells.

If only there would be a carrier to ship from outside. I do not want to pay $25 for a single ga or 30q.

Ahh, this is bad. I have some solder equipment but buttons from china may be bad quality right?

A blob of solder will do the trick for a button. There is a thread on I think here:

Thank you. Better to buy some quality solder wire from China
