Panasonic NCR18650A

The problem for me is that my Jetbeam BC40 doesn't seem to like long batteries and they certainly won't fit in my charger. The other problem is they cost more, not a lot, but more.

You know that protected batteries does exist in many lengths, also the NCR18650A.

I just tried two intl-outdoor 3100mAh protected in my BC40, they did fit and it did work.

I include the length in my battery test and in the summary you can easily pick the shortest protected batteries.

I know most batteries would benefit from a PCB but these new Panasonics act as if they don’t need one.

The specifications for the batteries says they need one and as I wrote above, there are situation where you can damage them.
