Will the zmax work with panasonic batteries without a nipple top... Just want to make sure as I know these batteries won't work in my friends provari, but I've been thinking of picking up something new and the zmax sounds like what i want... (And on my next battery replacement cycle, I'll definitely be picking up some efests, but would rather not have to replace perfectly fine panasonic batteries if they will work)

Andrew, when you get a chance, order some stealth or really short 510->801 adapters to go along with the Fusions. (I have the 6mm adapter that you carry, and, man, it sticks out a long way.)

If I carry them, then I'll void any warranty of devices that person ordered from me, had 3 of them each one shorted out a device, the center pole is so small it gets cocked forms a direct short to side wall, got 3 bolt springs fried from one these POS on them, these are some big azz springs.

Bad idea, then. Don't carry POS, even with a warning.

Yes the flat tops will work, all devices should be setup to allow flats, only a Idiot would design a device only took nipple tops. Reason behind that is there is no set standard for size and shape of the nipple, so if the battery is loose fit then the problems really start, but if flat top, resolves all issues before they start.

Just wanted to give a compliment to your CSM, Jeremy. Had some issues with the vmax I purchased from your site. I sent it back, should be there Monday. Jeremy has been prompt in responding to my inquiries, and I appreciate that. I too am a CSM at a large grocery store and I know it can be a difficult job. Love your site plan to place more orders in the future. Carry on numbah one.

OK, I'm going to get allot of flack from this post but oh well, Seems the Efest 2250 is actually a re-wrapped Panny CGR18650ch, discovered as trying it in my ZMAX, it fit inside tube fine but the bottom cap was to tight to fit over the wrapper at bottom, so slit it with utility knife only to fine out it was actually a panny underneath, I know what your thinking are all efests others just re-wrapped, if they are then they found the best battery's on the planet to rewrap, AW's are not even in same league as there efest counterparts get 10 more hours outta an efest 2000 then AW 2000, actually these efest 2000 outperform the panny's, now how they pulled that off I don't know nor do I really care, got 4 extra hours from 2000 efest as did from 2250 panny on my ZMAX. I know other vendors say why did you tell everyone about this, well it would come out sooner or later, other vendors they can just tell there problems to Jesus I hear he's listening now. Now don't get me wrong AW's are great battery's just not the top of the line anymore.

interesting. I was going to order some of the 2250 batteries so I am ready when the Zmax comes out. I hate ordering batteries with a device and then either taking one from another or waiting for batteries to charge. So I guess I will be ordering some today so I have them and they are charged when the Zmax finally comes out!

thanks for being honest about your products! I still may get some of the 2250 for other devices I have, just not in a place to do that right now.

Really great of you to own up, Number One. I was already a pleased customer, with your no POS policy and your prices and customer service and speed of shipping (etc), but now I feel even better about ordering from you in the future.

:toast:

Now, as to the folks that re-wrapped those batteries... :?:
