does anyone use 18650 lithium batteries?

Do have 3 led torches that use these batteries and i do use the trustfire batteries. I know they do have a bad reputation as there is more fake trusfire batteries and real ones out there on the market.

But for the price I am happy to use them, can get 10 of them for £20 vs panasonic weiss for £22.49. Must admit that when charging them, i keep a close eye on them, charger sits in a metal container just on the off chance i do have some fake ones.

But the trustfire chargers get some really good reviews.

Is it correct that you can use them in 3AAA flashlights in place of the three AAA battery holder?

I don't know if it's standard but I've seen plenty that take 18650's instead of three AAA's, they usually list the battery options.

No its not a standard thing, do have a led head torch which takes 3 triple AAA, the 18650 battery is thinner and longer than the battery holder. All depends on the torch

What torch are you looking to buy, what led module. The ones I currently use have the XM-L t6 which is extremely brite, supposed to rated at 1800 lumen, but more like 1100
