those the 18650 flat top works on this? like the Panasonic NCR.

I have only used the 18650s with a small nipple on the positive side. Not sure if flat will work. Nipple is only about 1mm high so maybe. Checked the play at the end of flash light ( The amount battery would squeeze in it more than 5mm so should work.....are the flats the same length as those with nipples...they may be longer to begin with...I would Google it to find out

Requires 18650 button top batteries. If you use the flat top batteries they do not have the full protection required for this flashlight and they will not make electrical contact between each other unless you modify the battery (not recommended).

I have no idea what a 18650 battery is, but from the other responses, it looks like the answer is , NO.

the use of a 18650 battery requires a separate extension piece to accommodate the 18650s length, the one I acquired and works with this flashlight to be able to use the 18650 battery; Vktech Extension Ring Tube Joint Adapter for Bright Flashlight 18650

I don't know what to tell you. Without a brand/model of the batteries and charger it's hard to tell. I use an Xtar VP1 charger with LG "HE" batteries with no problem in two of these flashlights. If they are "flat top" batteries they may not be making contact at the top end, "+", of the battery.

Hey there =), Neither, the 18650 3.7V is its own type battery. It is used for certain devices and i use them to power my Cree Flashlight.

If you use 18650 battery for the light, it has to be button top. Flat top prevents good contact between battery and light.

Yes it will work with all types of 18650's, 18350's, 16350's, 14500's etc. It will pretty much charge any rechargeable battery of this type of battery. Great charger for the money.

It should work. It works great for my fenix pd35. The battery is a little longer than most 18650's but if there is a spring in the flashlight there should be plenty of play.

I just checked mine. It has the 18650 Li-Ion Battery in it. (Had to get my rifle out of the case to check it!). If you bought one of the flashlights and they sent the wrong battery, you should get in touch with them. The 18650 Battery DOES fit. (I have 3 of them!)

They do make an 18650 battery. Here is their data sheet: http://www.sony.com.cn/products/ed/battery/download.pdf

Don't Know What A 18650 Battery Is. It Takes 3 AAA's. If They Are Dimensionally And ElectricalIy identical Then I Don't See Why not.

Ive used it with one single 18650 and with 3ea AAA NiMH batteries in the holder. But what I'm curious about is will it work using 2ea 18350 batteries loaded?

The 18650 battery will work. Its designed to use 18650. However, not sure if quality 18650 batteries come in 4000mah.

I'm not familiar with the 18650 battery, however if it is the same size and voltage (3V) as the 123A cells that the light calls for, I would think it should work just fine.

Yes I use a Nuon 18650 2600 mAh and 3.6V it works great. Two of the cr123 work great also just make sure to use the included plastic sleeve to keep them from rattling. The light itself works great I've used some surefires and 5.11's and I prefer the O-light

Either. Some VV devices won't accept flat top especially the Provari mini. But for a mech mod, doesn't matter. Hope this helps.

It depends. If your default 18650 comes with flat tops, I would stick with flat tops, but if it has the capability to use the button ones, then you can use them too. There is no difference in performance or power output, it's all the same. Just be careful though, because if your mod doesn't take/use bottom tops now, it is very possible that the end cap won't screw on because of the space. I have seen some guys try to change to button tops, and they can't close their mod with the tiny extra space the button tops need.
