these are the 26650s you want… and they only usually get stocked twice or maybe three times a year in the us
mmmmmmmm I’m trying very hard not to pulk the trigger on them, I have a few lights that would benefit
Yeah, but can they ship them Intl. by USPS?
no idea about intl shipping - i guess it depends on the country… i would contact them directly - i would think canada/GB would be fine
These don’t look protected.
USPS will only ship Li Ion domestically, even to countries like Canada where CPC has no issues with them. Any US dealer wishing to ship intl. will have to use UPS. UPS will kill you with customs and service fees.
you dont need a protected cell when using imr
granted there is always a chance of a short circuit, but as far as i know imr are much safer chemistry and have a much much lower risk of thermal run away
Yeah, I was replying to leaftye. 
Quite a low capacity for 26650 though isnt it?
i think 4000mah is around average for a good 26650
they used to make mnke 4000mah imrs, but they were discontinued
most of the 18650 sized imrs are around 2200-2600mah i believe
I total support EDC+. Great vendor. I also don’t want to step on your thread. So I will delete this post if you wish. I just feel bad not making this info available. If your light can handle longer cells, the Moli IMR26700A’s can flow 40amps. Less capacity of course, 2,900mAh.

I don’t know any of the vendors in the above link. I have got all my cells from Milwaukee V18 battery packs.
Just a note: those Moli 26700 cells may not show up unless you are logged in to ebay. I clicked on ImA4Wheelr's link and all I was shown was a couple of RC packs with Moli cells in them. Once I logged in then I was shown the Moli 2700 loose cells in paper wrappers. YMMV.
I have 3400mAh 18650s so I dont see the point in a 3700mAh 26650. They should be 4000mAh minimum, and when you think about the advances in 18650 capacity recently 4500-5000mAh 26650 should be possible.
IMRs are made for the purpose of delivering more Amps current (10-20A), not capacity. TF-26650 flames are 4200mAh, and Enerpower 26650s are 4500mAh, but can only deliver around 6A (depending on who you believe, I havent measured).
Don't forget, you're comparing two different types of cell. LMR cells use magnesium instead of the cobalt that LCR cells use. Using magnesium results in higher current capability, lower storage capacity and a more stable cell - meaning it is less likely to malfunction with nasty results.
This is also why you will rarely if ever see a protected LMR cell, and why they are used so often in battery-operated power tools.
Interesting, thanks.
Anyone tested these?

“Real Capacity： 4800mAh”
More expensive than KK,so that’s a good sign?
To the best of my knowledge, it is manganese, not magnesium (manganese dioxide).
We’ve actually had poor results with MNKE. I shouldn’t say poor results, but they don’t deliver as many amps as other 26650 cells we own like King Kongs. We tested several 26650 lights back to back and the King Kong always spanked the MNKE in amps and lumens. Even my 4sevens 26650 squeaked past the MNKE in performance in our testing.
Now we only had one MNKE to test with, so it could be a fluke. Or could have been a fake, who knows. So I can’t say MNKE’s are bad, but King Kongs will always be my #1 choice in 26650’s.
thats very interesting - my mnke 4000mah will deliver 7.2-7.5 amps to a direct drive sst90 with no problem… my king kongs deliver good amps as well but they lose capacity above 7+ amp discharge
both are good batteries imo
