this holder work for a replacement (once I put the end on, of course)? I have the 18650 batteries for my light I bought to use as a replacement / backup for the MagicShine.
That holder should work. However it looks like the under voltage on the PCB needs to be reset after you installed battery. That being said, if a cell jiggle loose or you try to swap with fresh battery while out riding, the pack may need to be reset with a charger. I also think that you might have to reset it if you are planning to remove the cell out of the holder and charging the cell with an external charger bay.
After insert battery(ies), must connect to charger to enable the pcb. Otherwise, you will get "no" output from pcb!
