Rod911: Trustfire IMRs ordered. I have also ordered two 30Q and two HG2 batteries.
Hope TrustFire IMRs will do. I have not got my Windyfires yet, so don’t know how good they are, but got 4 x XTAR IMR and they work very well. And you will like the 30Q and HG2.
thank you
Where’s the best/safest place to get these batteries ? I’d never buy batteries from eBay or aliexpresss!
Mountain electronics, Illumn.com, LIionwholesale.com all are solid, known-good, trustworthy. If you can wait (and are in a place they ship to) GearBest is good.
Add Sony VTC6 to the 'good 18650' list.
That’s what I am using for my high drain flashlights as well.

careful, i bought some sony VTC6, they look very… real
but they are just bunch samsung 25R rewrapped
The e-cigarette community tests a lot of batteries since they require more amps than we do on flashlight but with short burst.
