BatteryJunction.com HIGHLY recommends the Ultrafire 18650 2400mah Button Top cell, linked below, for use with the M-65 extender as the button tops ensure the best possible contact when used in serial application. We also really like the use of 2x Ultrafire RCR123A/16340 cells - while the runtime is under an hour it is at maximum brightness and doesn't require the M-65's extra cost or length. * 2 x 18650 battery configuration requires the optional M65 extender
