Hi
found out that there are 2 types of 18650 batteries, the ones that I bought that are about 66mm long and the ones with protection that are 69.5/69.2mm long
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Olight-3-6V-3400mAh-18650-Protected-Rechargeable-Battery-for-M22-M20S-M18-A8K-/172426468168?hash=item28256b1b48:g:tHYAAOSwYaFWgegD
The other TM26 that I bought you could buy the batteries with it.....the Olight 3400mah at US$65
so it looks like there is no problem with the torch its just the batteries, one part number for two different battery sizes.
one costs AU$10 for 4 and the other is AU$100 for 4, guess which one it takes.
Cheers
Greg.sI researched this some more as well and it's just plain idiotic. This flashlight does NOT take 18650 spec batteries, because the sizing is in the number. 18650 means that the battery should have a 18mm diameter and 65mm length. Unfortunately, this flashlight does NOT work with 65mm length batteries, and therefore is NOT compatible with 18650 batteries.
This flashlight requires batteries that are 69-70mm long as you stated. I see Nitecore sells batteries that are 69.6mm long and calls them "18650". Fucking annoying.
CausticalAGREE its just plain stupid...this is the second one of these torches that I got through massdrop ( both presents for Xmas), the first one I could get with batteries, this one the option was not available.
Hi, my 18650 batteries also are not making contact - I can hear that they are loose. They are the correct length with a protection circuit board and are high-drain. Is anyone from Massdrop addressing this?
Just got mine in; but having a small issue.
My 18650 batteries don't seem to make contact when installed. These are button top 18650s. The light is screwed fully closed, but there is obvious gaps between the batteries and contacts (you can hear the batteries sliding back and forth).
The manual doesn't say anything special needs to be done to run it on 18650s, but wanted to check here if anyone had similar issues before I put in for a replacement.
ExenthalSame problem here, the battery's are loose when the torch is tightened up, checked the length of the battery and its right, there seams to be a 1-2mm gap between the battery and the contacts inside the torch.
Date purchased 3-Oct-2016
Can someone from massdrop get back to us as to what the process is to get this fixed.
Thanks
Greg
