Best AA Recharge Ion batteries for Etrac?

I keep eneloops in my alkaline pod as a backup but the newest RNB battery is always in my etrac. It not only lasts really long, its lightweight and well made...well worth the money...
 
Make Sure U order 18650 batteries with the Flat top. I ordered Panasonic NCR 3400mAh 18650 Li-ion 3.7v Battery NCR18650B . The battery must be 18mm x 65mm. to fit and work in this holder. I paid 7.99 for each battery and 2.99 shipping. If U want to know where I got my batteries send me a PM. I do not want to get any fake batteries so I am picky were I get them.
 
I did a test of my battery with 3x 3.7v 14500 Nitecore battery 750mah batteries. I also used 4 aa Dummy batteries and 1 AAA dummy battery. The result was I could run my E-trac at full power of 30 and ran it for 5.5 hours. It reached a cutoff on the battery and shut down. It would have still been at 9.3v if it did not shut down. The biggest thing is the battery case and batteries only weigh 4.8 ozs. That is 4.2 ozs less than the stock 1600 battery. That is a huge weight difference for those who need the weight reduction. If that interests U let me know and I will give U the full details.
 
Ran my etrac for 5 hours yesturday with my 14500 Lithium batteries. It never came off full. Got home and tested the battery pack and it was still at 11.10V. Not bad for only 750mah Nitecore batteries. The battery pack is so light at 4.8ozs it is great for somebody who does not want to swing with the 12oz factory pack.
 
My new E-trac battery holder from Ukraine has already arrived at the PO. Should get it today. It only took a week to get here. He mailed it off last monday. Man that was fast. Being the nerd I am I am excited to get this new holder. Will report how good it works.
