question about batteries and wholesale

[tobacco-kills]

whats the difference between a flat top and a button top IMR battery? And does any one know a good wholesaler for
these? perhaps even a reliable manufacturer. I know a lot of the AW IMR that are sold online are fakes!

Some bodies don't have the space for button topped batteries, and some don't have a contact that's low enough for flat top batteries.

the flat top battery is just a flat piece of metal on the positive end, the button top is just that, they add a small piece of metal to the positive end to make it stick out more, mods like the provari and a few others need the button top becuase the post inside the mod is recessed to make sure you cannot put a battery in backwards.

the only way to get AW in bulk that I know of would be to join candlepower forums then contact him directly through his sales thread.
I would imagine contacting companies like panasonic's industrial division directly and setting up an account would be to get them as well as efest.

perhaps even a reliable manufacturer.

theres only one company/man making AW.
