Check your lead fits before buying batteries though, didn't someone say their's didn't fit?

Just realised - I never gave you the money for the case.

Want me to paypal/stick it in your bank?

I think the light was wired differently.

Good stuff, not bothered about the rear light. Those batteries you posted look good, I think I will order them as I never trust the supplied batteries, from what I've been reading on here.

You need a case or do a home brew pack for single batteries. Just so you know !

Oh, can I not just replace the batteries supplied?

Nope. The pack you get is shrink wrapped with a protection circuit. The cells are soldered together. If you want a better pack, like above, you need to sort out a case or make a pack with battery holders. Read back through the thread for more info.

Ok, will do, thanks.

That was me, I have two of the lights and the pack only works on one of them, I'm pretty sure it is the wiring

So after a lot of messing around I've finally ended up with two T6 lights from two different sellers, I think I'll keep both. They're charging for a test right now.

You need 18650 batteries. Either torchy on ebay or battery station. Ideally get protected ones, about 2600 mah or higher. The higher the mah the more expensive. I have Senybor 2800 protected and some Panasonic 3400 but not protected.

The batteries are big buggers, like AAs on steroids. Avoid Chinese imports like Trustfire as these are often rebadged second hand ex laptop cells and not much good. 18650 is the key number. Some are 18700 but that's because they are a little longer sometimes.

Can vouch for the Torchy ones on Ebay, they made a massive diff to my cree torches over the reclaimed laptop ones as I was using.
