Local 16650 battery suppliers?
Does anybody perhaps know of any local 16650 Lithium ion battery supplier? I’m looking for a rechargable battery for my Surefire E2T-MV, preferably Keeppower.

Not sure why either of the last two would have 16650’s? Unless they bring them in on the side? As far as I know no Klarus or Olight runs on 16650s. 18650s are miles better of the torch can take them.

Re: Local 16650 battery suppliers?
Update: absolutely no joy in finding a local supplier of 16650 rechargeable batteries. The one place that showed it available online actually gave me a refund saying that the local post office backlog is so much that it would not be worth trying...
So right now I’m not sure about the process of importing batteries, restrictions and all.
Not giving up, but it sure looks like replacing the batteries with 2 x CR123A is the best option, RCR123A has a lower capacity than the 16650.

Theres an Electronics importer/ distributor in Eastgate gardens ( near the Malboro offramp on the M1 in JHB) called "SJ Andrews electronics " who have various batteries and can also make up custom battey packs - we've had soem built up by them for various projects (they do mostly batteries, LED, solar and custom transfomer systems)

you might have to go see them and have a look at the warehouse ( phones are almost always busy )
