Great Battery!
great back up batteries for a head lamp you can charge a spare while sill using your light
Somehow it is longer than the 16340 batteries I got from Fenix for my Fenix headlamp. That might explain how they get the extra 150 maH and still have the USB-C port. Anyways, they were too big and my headlamp battery compartment didnt close fully, and it wouldnt work. Then a small break/tear in the outside of the battery formed, which is obviously extremely dangerous for a Li Battery you wear on your head.
This battery was purchased as a spare for my backpacking air mattress pump. I have since replaced my original battery with this battery due to its extended battery life. Love it!
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.
