I can't seem to find any online webstores which ships non____fire 18350 batteries internationally. Are there any websites which do? Sorry if this thread is misplaced.

I have purchaced mine at Lighthound, they carry AW IMR 18350 700mAh batteries ($7.99).
Also, Illumination supply has some Kinoko IMR 18350 850mAh batteries ($4.99), although I have no experience with these.

Yes, AW is the best high discharge 18350's you can get, although I have had no problems with UltraFire 18350's. (yes, I just said that!)

Or buy a BRAND NEW laptop battery. You will get 8+ VERY high capacity batteries.

That's true, but they only have 18650's, rarely 18500's, but never 18350's.

My bad, I'm really tired I just assumed 18650 was the question.

Yeah, LED's are great because they generally have a lower Vf than the cells, but 405 and 445nm require a higher voltage, which slightly complicates things.

Another source for those Efest IMR 18350mAh batt. is Innovative-Lasers.com. It is run by NickD070, a member here at LPF. :yh: The cost is $5.95.

I was referring to thisTrustFire TF 18350 1200mAh 3.7V Li-ion Battery for Flashlight - Black + Red + Golden (2 PCS) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
How long should I expect those to last?

I couldn't find any reviews of them, but I'm guessing about 750mAh out of them.
Runtime entirely depends on the laser setup.

AW all the way if you need consistent good cells BUT make sure they are the AW IMR red cells as AW makes other batteries. I use my AW IMR cells (of any size) where there's a real load except for the 18650 then Panasonic PD or B all the way.
Buy inexpensive cells like the Ultrafires for low draw units as I think the other cells are a waste of money for them.
My 26650s are King Kongs from hak.
For decent prices on cells take a look at Fasttech although I have purchased quite a few Panasonics from our members to support them for a bit more $. The orange Ultrafires have pretty good reviews. Don't know if Fasttech ships to you or not....
What kind of load are you looking at?
I use 18350 cells every place there's enough room over the 16340. Got to be careful though as the 18350 are slightly longer and you may put too much tension on your spring/switch.
