What are these batteries even (pard nv007)

[finnbear270]

Smelly advised me to turn the cap backwards for a bit then forward - works a treat!

Engineering background, always approach a re fit of anything threaded by going in it's opposite engagement direction, that is how you feel the "Drop" into the thread lead.

There is variation on the size of 18650 cells.

As the name suggests they should be 18mm diameter by 65 long. In theory.

They being said some of them also have a protection circuit on the + terminal which makes them longer.

Came here to say the same

Yep and as all will discover - the older one gets the easier turning the cap the wrong way becomes…..

My 007a takes button top or flat top batteries. But I invariably have to turn cap anti clockwise first to feel "the drop" before turning clockwise. I also put a bit of vaseline on the thread from time to time.

getting charges from touchy boy will result in quite a bit of hassle for me as a foreigner tho, I prefer to energize my night time peepshow in the EU

Just got in a stack of RPK mags from the UK and import duty was not fun

you might have 18650's with the protected circuit which are longer than the standard unprotected version

I tried that..... made no difference

There are several different sizes of 18650 batteries depending on whether they are protected or non-protected and whether they are button top or flat top. Protected 18650 batteries are both longer and lightly thicker and won't fit a NV007 (or any other Pard unit requiring a 18650 battery). A button top 18650 will go into the battery compartment but it will not be possible to fit the cap (there was once a longer cap available). The standard Pard NV007 requires a non-protected flat top 18650 battery.

OK guys, i think i have tried anything with 18650 on it... nothing fits the battery compartment. Everything is too long.

The original battery says 18650.... but no 18650 i can find fysically fits.

Just looked at mine still original PARD flat top battery installed depress the spring with cap and then screw

 

[Karhumies]

compared to the shortest one i have found so far
