That sucks. I have a pair of 18650s from streamlight that have built in USB charging ports, no problems so far.
This this does remind me that I also bought a pair of microstream USB lights & one of them shipped with a DOA battery. One email and they shipped a replacement no problem.
Edit, I forgot to say you can buy a twin pack of the USB rechargeable 18650 batteries for around $20 if you do a little searching.
Well, isnt it like micro usb? Anyway it died fast with no warning, didnt fade or anything. Its not really a streamlight problem, I have many of them.
Yes they are micro USB.
Not disparaging streamlight at all, I own quite a few myself and recommend them pretty regularly. It just happened that the one bad battery I received was from them, they took care of me PDQ so I'm not complaining.
I got mine from battery depot but it looks like they are down right now. are the ones I bought.
Yerr, I have some olight warriors that shipped with 123s in them. If you pull out the sleeve 18650s drop right in.
