Dear Sir,
I just wanted to thank you for having this website. I purchased a Nitecore P12 flashlight and opened it up today. I installed a brand new charged 18650 Li-ion battery with a “Flat top”. It did not light up after pressing the power button. After reading your article I found out that there are “Button” and “flat” top li-ion batteries. I did not know that, and that not all flashlights work with all li-ion batteries. Too bad, I ordered the batteries and flashlight before I found your website. I was able to order from Longhorn Tactical, that is a great website you recommended. Thanks for all the great information.
Thanks for visiting Jeff! Actually, there’s a small plastic ring inside the P12’s bezel which can be removed. The light still works with the ring taken out, AND it will then work with flat-top batteries as well!!
Nice website Ben! The technology on these devices is changing constantly. I like your site! It is very easy to navigate and your information is interesting to read. I’ll check back!! Best wishes!

Yes, technology never rests. The only thing constant with it, is change. Thank you very much!
