I guess I need to ask, if they really charge up to 3100mAh?

My memory says that some batteries need to be charged to 4.35V to reach max mAh..

It looks like in this case a 4.2V might be max...Full mAh..

or not?

There's info on the website saying, full charge 4.2v. That's correct.

We have discussed about it these days here, down from that post.

Redilast 2900 mah 18650

Well I thought I'd try a GOOD 18650 battery so I ordered a Redilast 2900 mah after reading some charts etc. I can squeeze an Ultrafire Blue with 2 pennies ( 2.86 mm ) into the little travel charger so if the Redilast is really 69 millimeters long it should barely fit, right ? EDIT - YES. Torch is no problem lots of room with the spring flex. Well- should be about a week till I see the Redilast - will a Cree Q5 pull more current from these in addition to 40% more runtime than an Ultrafir…
