OK guys, I checked out some information about Surefire. There were pluses and minuses to this light company.

The main factor I found out is to only use Surefire 18650 batteries. Others will not work. The sizes are different for Surefire due to body tube configurations.

18650 is 18650. So there is nothing to worry about. Only thing is that:

- Surefire tells you to use button top protected high drain cells. Any high drain = OK. Unprotected = own risk.

• only a handful Surefire models accept 18650 cells (Fury). Others have to be bored out to ca 18.65mm. Or use a 6A EagleTac 16650 protected button top battery for the less potent lights that use 2 * CR123A cell’s.

I bored out my 6PD, put in an EagleTac single mode drop-in and use a protected 3400 mAh Olight, because this drop-in has no LVP.

Wrong man. The “fury” is the exact model I am looking at. From local guys here and youtube videos. Both come up with same result. You have to use Surefire 18650.

Wonder what is special about it that it has to be used in the Fury?

The possibility is true Kawi. A few local guys I talked to said they had problems with different button tops, flat tops, other protected button tops, etc…. Guys called Surefire and SF specified ONLY to use Surefire branded 18650’s.

My P3X had a plastic bumper around the tiny driver spring, centered by the battery tube, probably to protect it from impact/recoil in case somebody wanted to weapon mount it, I could see button top use only, and the Surefire battery button top looks to be a bit longer than standard.
