Thread: Batteries

I just ordered the MAXTOCH M24 Sniper light and 2x Panasonic 18650 batteries from Mountain Electronics here in Seattle.

One thing to note is that the batteries are assembled in China by www.evva-tech.com

They may (or may not) include cells made by Panasonic in Japan.

Interesting to note that other "Panasonic" batteries advertised on TRADEME do not show the label so you are looking at the same dilemma.

I'll charge them and compare them with 2x Tenergy 18650's in the MAXTOCH light



THE FINE PRINT !

Not all Lithium batteries are created equal. These are top quality cells from Panasonic in Japan and are currently the highest genuine capacity 18650 class battery on the market.

I think ask this question of Richard at Mountain Electronics. He is a very knowledgeable guy, has good reputation, and only stocks the good lights/gear etc. He can test them for runtime in an M24 easy enough.

Last night tested the Maxtoch branded pana 3100s and they performed exactly same as green panasonics.

Sometimes 18650s need to be charged, run and recharged few times before they give best results - unsure why.
