It looks like most places are sold out of the good 18350 cells.

You might consider looking for a good quality protected cell (like Keeppower 1200mah) and then remove the protection circuit. Slip a new cut down 18650 sized wrapper over it. It’s not ideal, but might be worth it.

203

Well, that's kinda bummer... I ordered one s43s this morning... I wanted a good battery, since I am purchasing it solely for this flashlight.

And I would like to check if everything is ok with flashlight before the end of the return period....

204

When you said "protected cell", that is actually a physical protection?

I would rather not cut the wrapping, but if I do not find any in the coming 2 weeks, I might have to have a look at that option.

205

Yeah, the pcb that goes over the positive or negative end of the battery.

I checked a couple of USA suppliers just to see if maybe they had anything good. I found these Vapcell 1100mah. Only 10 in stock, but shipping might be expensive.

You should also order a 18650 battery tube. They are pretty cheap. I don’t plan on ever using the short tube.

Dunno bout Soshine but other cells I thought were ok. Cheap w/free shipping, least for the US. I see buyers of these from all over the world.

207

In EU, liionwhole only ships to Iceland. I specially like it with the shorter tube. :)

What about this one? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2PCS-Lot-Keeppower-3-7V-IMR-18350-1200mAh-Continuous-10A-Max-15A-Discharge-E-Cig-Battery/32872845025.html (kinda expensive)

Oh, I taught it was some kind of electronic protection of the cell. lol

208

Buying batteries on AliExpress is very similar to buying on eBay. You really need to know if that particular store has a good reputation for selling authentic cells. It’s easy for these little stores to sell fakes.

209

That’s what it is. Here is a generic picture.

Hello,

I just bought the s43s with the set of 18350 advised in the banggood’s page but my s43s doesn’t works with thoses (it’s Keeppower P1835C2 IMR18350 2Stücker Keeppower P1835C2 IMR18350 1200mAh 3.7V 10A Wiederaufladbare 18350 Li- Sale - Banggood Deutschland-arrival notice-arrival notice )

I think they are longer than usuals 18350 so they don’t fit well and there is not enough contact. i tried to clean the tube like advised in with video but without success.

it’s working fine with an 18650 so my light is not in cause

edit : oh you already talked about that. Sorry for not reading the thread :slight_smile:
