Flat top vs button top Battery

[Thunderball]

Sorry if this has been answered 1,124 times before but I couldn't readily find the answer searching. I have been using flat tops for my SVD and Vamo that work fine. Today I had a wild hair and ordered a New model sigelei # 24 because it can go really short and had a detachable D ring with it ( a detachable D ring was what I was after). But it is a mechanical mod and I wasn't sure If the flat tops were OK to use in this thing. Their website doesn't have much info nor does where I ordered it from.

Thanks all.

Just a thought but why not order a couple of button tops in case and you'll have them if you need them. They should work in the SVD and Vamo.

I always keep small battery magnets just in case my flattops dont work. Just place one on top of your battery top positive post and bamo, youre in buisiness. Some people use a small drop of solder on their top posts of the battery but I like the magnets since they can be removed easier. magnets are great also for charging flattops in the charger.

Good advice. Thanks

Apparently this mod isn't particular in which type of battery top you choose. This site gives you the option to order the mod with either battery top in either an IMR or protected battery. Mechanical Telescope #24 (Sigelei)

Flat tops will work in any Mod - 2mmx6mm magnet may be required in a few. Button tops can NOT work in some Mods.

While I have/use both, I prefer flat top batteries.
