Pros: -relatively cheap compared to other brands of RCR123A/16340
-specified high rate discharge (confirmed upto 1.8A draw)
-specified protection circuitry (overcharge protection kicks in at 4.2v, unconfirmed functionality of discharge)
Cons: -there is a tab that buldges out the side on the negative side
-soft metal on negative side (covering PCB) - spring in flashlight tailcaps will leave round mark
Other Thoughts: Shipped with 3.9v. These are slightly long at 36mm and slightly wide at 16.4mm which may make it difficult or impossible to fit in some flashlights or other devices. 16340s by definition should be 16mm (wide) by 34mm (long). Fits well in http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.0936 - see my charger review
Bottomline: These are good cells at a fair price. Get these if you need them, they won't disappoint.
Nice little battery!

Pros: Good batteries, does fit in my Romisen L-B030 easely. It doesn't get stuck in the tube!
Protected by a circuit. It protects for overloads, short circuit and overcharge
Cons: It's rather small capacitiy.Some deveices cannot handle the battery because it's to long due the extra PCB that will protect the battery.
Other Thoughts: None so far. It's just a good product!
Bottomline: Good batteries, maybe a little bit pricy but overall a good batterie that do his job! You can try another type. Battery is 1000mAh and will last a lil bit longer. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3204

Pros: Good reviews from others who have tested these batteries.
Very good price for rechargable 16340.
Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: I did my research before buying some 16340 cells and these seemed like the best cells on DX for the price.
Protected cells are always the safe choice because if shorted or overcharged they won't catch fire.
Bottomline: So far very good, If they recharge 300 times or more then they are WAY cheaper than primaries. Even if they only recharge 10 times they are still cheaper.
Buy the Digital LI-ion charger to charge these cells sku # 6105
Once again a great deal

Pros: This is like my 5 or 6 set of these. Just a super handy battery at a great price. Once again I got to perfect cells. No complaints- these are the trustfire this time.
Cons: No- none, nada, nope, nunca, nil.
Other Thoughts: If you can handle the extra voltage (or more properly if your device can) and you don't mind using some common sense when charging- then these are for you. I have 3 different chargers for these- the DSD the Trustfire and the Nano- they all work great with this cell.
Bottomline: Just get it- forget the whiney people that complain about these- I have over a dozen and have not had a bad cell- and if you do get the rare bad cell- just take a few photos and contact DX- they will send you 2 new cells and let you keep the bad ones.
