Where is a good place to buy them?

RTD Vapes has them, 2000 mah: *NEW* AW IMR 18650 2000 mAh

OK.

Um... I'd recommend checking everything out real carefully anyway. If the battery was sitting in a felt case for the last day charged...and you just put it in the PV...

Something set it off. Just to be sure...make sure the button isn't shorted ....double check. Either the button was pushed, there's an internal short, or ???? just the motion of installing it set off the battery ????. IDK. If the button was never pushed, the battery case is intact, there's no internal short...why did it get hot? Could be internal failure/overcharge, but it sat for a day just fine.... so double check the button and connector to be safe.

I have checked everything the best I can and see no problems. I know the button was not pushed, well atleast by me.
It could have been a short somewhere but not from the button up. And it took less than a minute to get hot.

Yeah... that's fine. It's not that I'm doubting your sincerity or anything... I believe you. I only mentioned that due to the circumstances and that it's a good idea to double check it. Safety 1st!

It will be interesting to follow this.....
