Pros: * Protected battery.
* Price is good.
Cons: * Oversized, so they may not fit in some devices if the tolerances are tight. It's not just an issue of length...the cells are much wider than unprotected cells.
* Very poor build quality. The wrap is uneven. The PCB is at an angle relative to the bottom of the battery.
* Over-rated, as most Li-Ions are.
Bottomline: If you need protected cells, and you just can't afford better quality, these will function, but you need to make sure they will fit in your device.
Mixed Feelings!!

Pros: Have been using these for more than 6 months.. well I am not wrting too much ..
> Build quality is good
> I guess these are Protected
> Capacity says 880mAh.. but looks like 500mAh to me (I am not sure)
> Runs for 40minutes on Romisen RC-C6 (sku.26792)
Cons: Con .. well price can be lower, and I wish more capacity is available in 16340/CR123a
Other Thoughts: Really dont know if they are 900mah ... can you tell if it runs for 40min on (sku.26792) RC-C6 what does it say. ? anyidea. Read in the forums and decide on ..
Bottomline: If you looking for a flashlight.. I suggest you buy the Flaslight which runs on 18650. bcoz they are better.. and comes in more capacity
Work well

Pros: These battery cells work as expected. Power reserve and output is as advertised and expected.
Cons: While these protected cells work as advertised, be aware of the "extra" size of protected cells. While they are still rated as 16340, I have a difficult time using them in my UltraFire WF-501B UV light (SKU 15456).
In order to use them with the SKU 15456 UV light, the cap can not be screwed in fully. It only screws down to the point where the cap just "touches" the O-ring. (The light is definitely not water resistant at this point. If I screw it down further, the tailcap switch will not operate.
Other Thoughts: N/A
Bottomline: Knowing the limitations with my lights (and some work just fine, without limitation) I can still recommend these cells.
Good Deal for price

Pros: Protected- the circuit works well it prevents over charging and over discharge
Cheap
Cons: since these are protected cells, they might not fit into your torch the protection circuit probably adds about the thickness of a dime to the bottom of the cell
Other Thoughts: These batteries are an extremely good deal for about the same as a CR-123 Primary, you can get a Lithium Ion battery! That is not just one time use!
Be careful when using them in Flashlights because they peak at 4.2 volts where CR-123 Primaries only beak at 3 volts if your flashlight was not made to handle these batteries you might fry your led :(
Bottomline: Excellent deal!
