What do you think?
PANNOVO B-C04 Water Resistant 4 x 18650 Battery Pack Case for Bike Lamp - Black - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
Amazon.com: 4PCS 3.7V 3400mAh NCR18650B PCM Rechargeable Li-ion Protected Battery for Panasonic: Cell Phones & Accessories
Also, what's the difference between the black-and-silver batteries you recommended (out of stock) and the light green ones sold by Amazon, banggood, wallbuys, etc?
I've been using the Pannovo box with protected Panasonic batteries for about 3 months and have had no problems.
The only problem I have had with the batteries is when I have dropped one and it landed on the protection circuit and damaged it.
I have the green batteries from FastTech. Delivery from the Chinese sites for batteries has become very slow. That's why I suggested the other site.
