A bit of advice before my purchases arrives please, batteries....

OK, my first issue that I need to resolve before my Reo arrives this side of the pond. I've been trying to find somewhere to order some AW IMR 18650 1600mah batteries but all the uk based sites ive found only stock 2000mah batteries. Now, I am still fairly new to all of this and I want to make sure everything works perfectly by following the advice on the Reosmods site about how best to use the Reo to the letter. Although I would hate not to be able to use my Reo when it arrives I am prepared to wait until I find the correct batteries if I need too. So, I have 2 questions: anyone know any UK sites to order the correct batteries and, if I draw a blank, are 2000mah batteries in any way acceptable?

The AW IMR 2000mAh will be fine. They are just a tiny bit longer than the 1600mAh. The difference in length will not make much difference in spring compression.

Not a problem! Glad you have them available for when your REO arrives!
