Batteries in a Zebralight

[Squirrels]

Long story short but I have ordered a lighting setup. Zebra headlamp, batteries and charger from another company and a handheld torch from another. Will protected button top 18650s work in the zebra? The ones I ordered are 69.2mm in length according to website description. I didn’t realize this before ordering or I would not have ordered the zebra. Zebra light is delivered but the batteries haven’t yet.

Yes they should work fine ! At least I have no problem with any 18650 battery in mine

Which headlamp did you order. Some zebras will not run protected cells because they are too long. My older headlight will run both protected and unprotected but my mk iv will not accept protected cells. They are too long.

Can't answer your question, but these are the batteries my friends and I have all been running in our zebras for years and never had an issue.

These are the exact batteries I've been running in my Mark III since 2016 with no issues and no apparent degradation of performance.

Ive never had an issue with protected batteries in any of my 3 Zebra headlamps.

Update, didn’t work with my batteries. My batteries aren’t high output which may have been the issue. Returned the light, Zebra’s customer service was pretty piss poor on the issue to be honest. No phone number, no email. All they have is a place to submit a question. I did that and got a response which led to a follow up question that received no response. So I ordered a Fenix.
