Both of mine are well frayed with one peeling off from over the strip. PVC tape works as a repair but using much increases the size enough that it becomes difficult to get it in and out of a P60 style body. These may be a better choice in terms of durability or the ones dougmc listed.
I'm leaning towards buying Panasonic NCR18650. AW and Redilast are more than I'm willing to spend, and I don't think that using quality unprotected cells in single-cell applications seems terribly risky. Still on the fence... I already bought a charger, but I haven't bought any batteries yet.
