Yes, 68mm suggests so, and it's unclear whether they're flat top.

Agreed, especially for no-name low-info on product. Ridiculous.

One-off really, chances of repeating or extending it are low. Because
it's not always in use paying for useful quality that can also be used
elsewhere seems worthwhile. Paying anything for rubbish lasting 3 cycles
is sub-optimal...

I am tempted to try whether some of the trademe sellers' promises are
true. If anyone has exprience with any trademe 18650 seller I'd like to
hear.

Thanks,

Volker
