Spec me an LED Torch

[R.C.Anderson]

Yea, I've got a torch powered from an 18650 & one from a 21700. 18650 is thinner & fits in a pocket a little easier, but I pretty much always use the 21700 torch, as it lasts much longer & is much brighter. And actually the increased diameter I find is more comfortable to hold.

Are the 21700 powered torches much better than 18650? I accidentally ordered a Molicel P45B thinking it was 18650... I looked at Fenix torches that use this cell and they're so expensive

You have to be careful because not all 18650 / 21700 batteries fit in certain flashlights.

There are protected and unprotected batteries and also button top and flat top i think.

It changes the length of the battery a bit, if i remember i cant use my unprotected batteries in my Fenix and Nitecore flashlights.

My unprotected batteries only work with my cheap chinese flashlights.

I use protected fenix and nitecore batteries in my fenix and nitecore flashlights.

Thanks, I might keep it for now incase I decide to get a new torch at some point. I never even knew there were torches that used different size cells as it was all 18650 last time I was active.
