Looks like they'll work to me. The number 18650 is the size of an unprotected cell, so 18mm diameter and 65mm long. The protection is suppose to just add to length and my Trustfires measure 68mm long and 18mm diameter.

I've used Ultrafires too without issue, they were all gray, not like that pic, but the dimensions given match.

The only 18650 battery that didn't fit my L was damaged. (Came with the protection PCB blown.). So, it was a good thing it didn't fit.

In at 155.

Maybe a longer wait than the first L, but it will be easier having the L already... I hope...
I;m in at like 134# But with that being said! I have been told the #'s don't mean much except for those who are not already a Precious owner! Casear is gonna start from the list of his original Preciuos L ! That means we will be invoiced in that order first! Then once he gets all the previous owners their Lv2's he will work his way down the new list ! So perhaps our wait won't be as long Hoosier?

Maybe. There is still the production ramp-up issues yet to reveal themselves. Maybe I've worked as manufacturing product designer for too long, but there is a difference between the prototype, the jobber run, and the full run.

Having an L already will make the wait much easier waiting for the Lv2.

So, a postal race coming up?

Post your ship date and then update with delivery date so those still waiting can compare and bring that anticipation to a fine edge...
 
My wife ordered a Precious L v2 on the 20th for me (#195) and I need some advice…

Do most of you plan to use a 18650 battery because of the longer battery life, or 2 of the 18350 to make use of the adjustable voltage? I've read elsewhere that a single battery is sufficient, but I have been using 5 volts for a while and really like it.

As for the juice Dispenser, is there any reason to have more than one? Is the JD automatically fed, or does it require some type of manual operation - just can't seem to find much information on it.

Thank you

i think you'll be able to regulate a 3.7 bellow its max potential. like say its fresh charged and puts out 4V you should be able to regulate it to 3.8 or 3.7 or 3.9 (loaded would be more like 3.5 3.6V on an LR ). someone please correct me if im wrong that would be great with an LR atty!!!
as for the JD i ordered 3 (1 spare and 2 to use with my 2 Precious i ordered) and i think it works kinda like the AFS

i'd like to know Caesars thoughts on using these ones

They're not protected batteries, you're better off with these;

I just got 4 of those batteries for when my precious gets here andthey look to be about a half inch bigger then a 18650 or 2 cr123 bats. Is this gonna be ok cause if there is only enough room for a 18650 these will be too long for sure

I cannot speak for everyone, but I plan on doing both.

I already have an L, but I did not see the need for a second dispenser.
It is an automatic feed.

The information is there, but there may be that a few fine points seem odd due to translation.
