About that Amazon Panny 18650. It doesn't look right. Check the link below for what it should be. The other battery and charger, I don't think I'd use that in a LT, as the IMR is what is recommended for safety purposes. I think Panasonic makes the AW.

only thing is that battery on amazon is odd looking.
i have 6 of them and they also come with different labels.

this is where i buy them, very respectable.

yea i meant to use the same link as the one above me, still never seen it come in green, i would be wary of something that only one person seems to offer for 1/2 the price of everyone else. 20% sure but less then half?

True, but the ones I have are green and the model number is right, so...
But the price IS suspicious, I agree. I paid about 8 bucks apiece for mine and I really like them better than the IMR because the maH is so much higher and the fact that they do last longer

no after searching the price is not too much lower then others, this is the cg battery which is not a high drain model, i think 2.5 amps max while the ch model is a 10amp battery made for high draw devices like APV's

if they work go for it, but its really not recommended for our type of usage, (dont know about the LT amp needs)
