My solar storm batteries are pants and need better. Was thinking of buying 4 Panasonic 3400mah batteries and box to link them together and use to get more outbid the light.

The eBay info for the solar storm v2 says use a 6800mah battery.. Is this nonsense or will my homemade battery actually not work?

You want [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Waterproof-4x18650-Battery-Storage-Case-Box-Holder-For-Bike-LED-Light-Hoc-/201241054599 ]this.[/url]

The mAh only tells you the capacity, its the volts you need to know.
Yours will probably be 8.4v, but make sure you know.
The 6800mAh pack will total BS, maybe half that at best, which is what the Chinese lies normally are!
I use 4x Panasonic in my box, just make sure they are ALL the same voltage when you put them in the box, DO NOT mix and match them. Get a multi-meter to double check before inserting them.
