@ai6yr Sounds like they got a bad batch of 21700 cells. I wonder...if the battery is removable, would they still recall the light, or tell people to remove the battery for a replacement? Sounds like a non-replaceable cell, which would certainly keep me from buying on in the first place. I couldn't find any mention on their site about the cells being removable.

I don't like disposable gear.
