18650 Batteries

[vincent154451]

The 50 mw laser i got from O-Like can use 18650 batteries to, but idk which to get! I want ones that are rechargeable! I have done a little bit of research and found some known 18650's, the UltraFire and TrustFire batteries. Does anyone know what i should get?

I've heard that AW is the best: AW 18650 Protected 2600 mAh Rechargeable Lithium Battery - New Version
but expensive.

Anyone else maybe? :yh:
I'm looking for 18650s too...no matter what they cost, i want HIGH capacity and possibly long lifetime :yh:

There are a few other good options other than AW but you can't go wrong with them. The AW 18650 also comes in a 2900mAh.:beer:

yehaaa thanks!
Are there any tests of this batteries around here?

As I've ordered a laser (my first ) from o-like and am waiting for the battery and the charger right now, does anyone have experience with their 18650s and/or their charger?

Trustfire are also good. I would stay away from Ultrafire. Try google on "18650 shootout".

Don´t order from DX, Focal, Buyincoins etc. if you need them quick.

Thank you all, I think I will get some AW 2600 or even 2900 if I can find them somewhere in Italy/Germany/Europe, I'm still shocked because of the 28€ import taxes I had to pay for the laser ^^

The LG cells are actually really nice and can handle high current demands. I use them myself. I use them myself but I just don't normally recommend them because they are unprotected and inexperienced individuals my over discharge them ruining them. These were actually what I was referring to when I said there were some great alternatives to the AW.
