No. They were supplied with 6mm long screws to screw the head to the flange when they were meant to be only 4mm and this wasn't picked up initially at the factory. This combined with a slightly long battery tube broke the contact with the circuit board. Quickly identified and easily remedied with a $3 screwdriver and the right screws.

Ok cool

I have a new m24 and have a good supply of healthy pink Samsung 18650, but only at 2600 or 2700mha. They are protected. The m24 and 2s will head your way for a dedome, but,
When I put 2 fresh charged batteries in the m24 and screw on the tail and click the tail button nothing. So I unscrew half turn and click. Nothing. It is not until the cap is on its last turn of thread before falling off that the light will turn off and on with the tail switch. Does this sound like dodgy batteries or some uncommon random thing.

Possibly clean the threads and make sure the switch is screwed in tight (inside the tail cap). Also make sure you get button top rather than flat top batteries.
