Sony does not make an 18650 battery, I have checked all of their websites and written an email So what are these?????

Sony does make them, and they are used in their cells for Laptops, they have recently stopped making them solo, but there are a ton of them still in stock in stores, make sure to buy from a reputable dealer. Mine were labelled with sony trademark.

Sony discontinued them. They are out of stock everywhere. Good luck. Beware of fakes. The market is flooded with counterfeit Sony US18650VTC5 batteries now.

These are as described. Sony has never offered them to the public. These are "redirected" to the public. Good Question. Silly (factual) answer. It is rumored that they are also no longer manufactured by sony. The 26650 sized Sony's have been discontinued. It would be reasonable to expect the same of these VTC5's as well - sooner or later.

They do make an 18650 battery. Here is their data sheet: http://www.sony.com.cn/products/ed/battery/download.pdf

The ultrafire 18650 are very undependable but if they are to work then what you have to do is charge them and when they run most of the way out put them on a charger right away never let them sit with out a charge if you are going to use this type of cell then you should upgrade to a better well known brand they don't last I had 15 of them now I have two the rest just don't take a charge anymore

***UPDATE*** According to Joel Koury, the battery is glued to the casing, hence not replaceable. Thanks for the update.--------------------------I would say YES. It's not like Monster would make a proprietary battery. It probably uses a standard 18650 lithium battery or something that is very similar and available to purchase from battery vendors. From the looks of it, there are two circular rubber disks (not the four rubber feet) that cover the screw holes on the bottom of the unit. Remove those rubber disks and unscrew the base. That should give you access to the insides including the battery. ***UPDATE*** According to Joel Koury, the battery is glued to the casing, hence not replaceable.

check to see if they,ll take size 18650 which i'm sure that they do,but double check to see if they accept 18650.And these battery also hold a charge longer which is sweet when you need them for longer time.

No, they are not the same battery. The 18650 is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. The cost is reasonable and, having used about 8 of this type battery, I can vouch for their longevity and utility.

I have never substituted a "three AAA adapter" for an 18650 battery. I much prefer the rechargeable 18650s over the AAAs. Additionally, I have never seen a three AAA adapter the same diameter as an 18650. My suggestion would be to invest in 18650s, with a charger, and use those. I also suggest getting the 18650s with built in protection against overheat. They're easy to find on Amazon.

Thats too technical. I don't know if it is IC protected. But what I do know is that the batteries are not even the right size and they don't even charge. Fake is one thing. Atleast fakes work a little bit. But these batteries don't work at all and they are not even the length of 18650 batteries.

You can find them... but they are almost as expensive as the whole package. If you have some technical knowledge it is just a pack of 4x 18650 batteries- 2 sets of parallel wired in series.

With all due respect, if you do not know what a 18650 battery is, you should probably look for another flashlight that uses AA or AAA. There are a lot of possible dangers associated with this type of battery if you do not fully understand it. There is a 4 dollar flashlight on Amazon similar to this that uses a single AA battery (search for "cree flashlight" - FordEx Group is a popular one).

That clear plastic tube is the sleeve that goes over a #18650 lithium rechargeable battery. Those batteries are European / World common, but here in the USA. They are larger in size than AAAs, and have a little more power.As I have done, they can be ordered through Amazon. They hold their charge a very long time! And that's it.I hope I've answered your question(s)! Enjoy your new flashlight.

They aren't even 4000mah @ 500ma discharge rate. They don't even have the (advertized) capacity of 18650's. After a few charge/discharge cycles they (4 cells) average out at about 3150mAh. The lower the price, the more creative the advertizing.On my charger the mah in is only about 3200mah. Did they not say the 6000mah was TOTAL for the two batteries.

Yes. It's still an 18650 which is the main part you should be looking for, this battery just has more mAh than the one you're taking about.

Doubt it....since Sony seems to have their own line of batteries....just like the others.

Not this specific charger and battery but just search for 18650 3.7V batter and charger and you will find one that works.

I got mine from here on Amazon. The one I purchased was "Protected 18650 Rechargeable Batteries Plus Charger (2pcs)".

All "18650" batteries are the same size. I have 3000mah and 4000mah batteries here and they are both the same size.

I believe the 18650 is the same thing as a AA or AAA battery. If so, then yes it will. Sorry, I was wrong. It may be the same size as aaa or aa but LI-ion batteries need thier own kind of charger. I was thinking that this charger was Li-ion, but it is NiMH. It probably will not work.
