    Na, you need protected cells, and preferably of a known capacity.

    If I was in the market for more: 2 x Panasonic 18650 batteries 3400mAH PROTECTED | Trade Me
    And a Nitecore i4 charger: I4 Nitecore Intelligent Charger : ORIGINAL ! | Trade Me

    Thanks @quentin.
    The blurb on the trade me ad says the batteries are 2600mh with PCB (protection circuit board). Is this not the go?

    Whoops, only read the first few lines. (capacity and protected cell both in there if I read the whole lot)
    2600mAh is a pretty low capacity nowdays. Try for something around 3200 - 3400mAh. If you see anything above 3400mAh, it is going to be a case of Chinese exaggeration.

    That would be my recommendation too.
