Pros: Protected- the circuit works well it prevents over charging and over discharge
Cheap
Cons: since these are protected cells, they might not fit into your torch the protection circuit probably adds about the thickness of a dime to the bottom of the cell
Other Thoughts: These batteries are an extremely good deal for about the same as a CR-123 Primary, you can get a Lithium Ion battery! That is not just one time use!
Be careful when using them in Flashlights because they peak at 4.2 volts where CR-123 Primaries only beak at 3 volts if your flashlight was not made to handle these batteries you might fry your led :(
Bottomline: Excellent deal!
great value protected 16340`s

Pros: 2 x protected good qwuality 16340`s for $4.5 whats not to like, bought 3 sets on 1`st order and all perform very well although the mah rating is exaggerated, no worries with them due to protection pcb, well made, great for any flashy that will take them.
Cons: little bit on the tubby/long side so will either be a close fit or may not fit all 18650/123a flashlights, use 06672 digital charger a match made in heaven, approx 105 min charge time all topping out at 4.19V.
Other Thoughts: As above use/get a 06672 charger for all your 123a/16340 needs, wish they made one for 18650`s.
Bottomline: can`t go wrong with these little silver cells, great value.

Pros: - very good protected batteries
- enough capacity
The batteries works fine as they should in my Romisen Cree RC-N3. The Romisen Cree RC-N3 is very bright with these batteries, brighter than with 2 AA's
Don't know the capacity exactly but I shouldn't be surprised if it comes near the stated 880 mAh.
Cons: None I can think of, the batteries just work as it should.
Other Thoughts: If you happen to need some 16340 batteries then these are your choice.
Bottomline: Very good batteries with working protection. The over-discharge protection kicks nicely in. The first it kicks in you wonder what is happening.

Pros: High capacity
Good performance - works perfectly in my SKU15160 light. Bright light was pruduced for 2hrs before it became noticably dimmer. After that, it was still bright and usable for another hour or two.
Rechargeable - don't waste money on expensive Li
primaries, get these instead.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Apart from the dull packaging, these are good batteries at a good price. There are other batteries available from DX that are virtually identical apart from more fancy packaging but you pay more for that.
Bottomline: Get some for yourself, they are excellent.
