Works great

I have a TLR7 SUB and as far as I can tell, these batteries give it just a bit more of a kick. I don't have the ability to CHECK lumens/candela, but my eyes say that these are a slight increase in output on my light.
I saw a review stating that they didn't fit in a TLR-7X but I don't see how that's possible. They're the same size. As you can see in the picture.
I bought 3, just in case SHTF and I need to have backups. (Also have a few standard cr123's)
I have other Nitecore batteries and a D2 charger (which you CAN use for these if you'd like)
I give them a 5.

Would not work in my streamlight TLR-7X

I was looking to buy a battery for my streamlight TLR-7X and rather then buying direct from streamlight and paying OEM pricing I thought I'd try to save a few bucks and try the Nitecore NL169R this battery is rated at 950 MAH where as Streamlights battery are only rated to 850 so I figured I'd get more time with the light on. The batterys were advertised as cross referencing to a 16340 Battery. They also sell a NL169 which cross refernces to the 16340 so I figured either one should work. The NL169 does not have the usb-c connector for charging but it is rechargable and also 950 MAH battery. I ordered the above battery NL169R with the usb-c and they sent me the NL169 batterys this is why I mention the other batterys. I recieved NL169 but I had no way of charging them because it did not have the usb-c charging port so I contacted customer service. They were quick to respond and offered for me to keep the first set of batterys and they would send me out the correct batterys. Since I was getting to keep the NL169 I asked if I could go ahead and order the charger from them as they were no good to me without a charger. I ordered the charger and it arrived with my NL169R batterys which is what I originally ordered. They did not fit my Streamlight they are too long. I checked the owners manual from streamlight and under the battery specs it gives a length which is shorter then these batterys. So unfortunitly they don't work for me. On a positive note the NL169 fit perfect and there still rechargable and hold more charge then the oem batterys. So overall im happy. I would really like to return the NL169R and get two more of the NL169 they seam to be a well made battery. On a side note I did plug the NL169R battertys into usb-c to see if they would charge as the should and they seam to function as they should. Just be sure what your using these for can except the additional length they require.

Best batteries of the sort!

Solid battery, good price when it'll last a while, and from a reputable brand unlike a lot of other batteries of a similar type which will commonly lie about their capacity. Also convenient and intuitive, plugging in the cable simply gives a red or green light indicating if it's charged.

Too big

I couldn’t find 650’s size but the description for the 950’s made it seem like they were the same thing only better. Unfortunately they are fractionally longer and I can’t get the battery compartment cap closed. So, they are not the same and I can’t really give an honest review on the quality only to he lack of description on size.
