BEARSxARExPEOPLExTOOThe ones you are looking at for less than $30.00 are very likely not 18650 type. But, if they are, by all means, pass along the resource for those torches!!
BEARSxARExPEOPLExTOOThanks for the link... I saw this one on GearBest a well. It does NOT include the battery. And, battery prices are all over the board. One really has to hunt for the best battery for the least. And, you have a personal coupon! You are fortunate that your 'end price' will likely end up somwhere around $40, with a battery. But, that is unique to you only, not for the rest of us. In the end, that's what free commerce is all about and we all can buy from anywhere we want :)
YooyooI gotta tell ya'll.., I really learned a lot with and during this entire thread exchange that started with the 'bears are people too' !! Besides flashlights, I have at least two, maybe three, other 'fetishes', including knives and sharpening systems, some guns, camping, etc. Massdrop has been an awesome resource for 'stuff'. But, I will start looking into the coupons you mention are available 👍 If you have a 'typical' source for such coupons, please pass it along. Thanks.
AJAugustFor a 3500mah battery (a good one), ur talking $20 from Amazon or retail... Some spe salty shops near me might be able to get a little cheaper, but everything I could find, when combining items at lowest prices available, at least from sites that I trust, the price was so comparable, I just went with the Copper one here, to have 1 package with all contents come at once and arrive together... I think the cost was stil $2-$3 here on MD too... Not much, and was Hoping for more, but Maybe next time??
AJAugustI would like to know this resource too.. If possibke.. I share very similar interests and collections in the items/gear/subjects that you just listed off...
BEARSxARExPEOPLExTOOOh yes, those are pretty good... I guess I was defaulting to the Klarus 3600mah standard online price tag, when I said $20... It IS a really good battery, but so are the ones you linked, at great prices... Thanks!!
BEARSxARExPEOPLExTOOOh yes, totally, such a big safety concern... I have Lights that run both, so as long as I know what type of battery it is, I should be able to match it up...Extrwmely valid point tho
st3venbA quick read of my comments above links to the light for $48 without a coupon and even more reading will tell you where to find some coupons. Idiot
