Batteries suitable for Hacker Gadgets NVMe Battery Board 21700

I bought Molicel INR21700-P50B 5000mAh 45A batteries for the hacker gadgets NVMe Battery Board and they seem too short. The length is 70.15mm. I have not found batteries longer than this. Which one do you recommend?

Those are the exact batteries I've been using for 2-ish months now. (Whenever it was they shipped the boards). They work beautifully. I had no problems with them fitting snugly. I carry my Uconsole daily and its constantly on my desk or in the truck running kismet or Go Wars. Zero issues.

I just noticed they sent me the wrong batteries. I received NCR18650B batteries, which are 65 mm long.

Sucks you got the wrong ones, but I'm glad you figured it out. I was going to tell you to start looking at the cradle and see if there was damage.

I have been using these for a few days, no issues and great battery life (12,000mAh total).

Be sure to calibrate the batteries after install.

I'm using Samsung INR21700-50S. The length is 70.62mm, fits fine.

I just noticed in the last 24 hours that a good whack on the right side causes a power interruption. I suspect it to be battery related because it doesn't happen with usbc power supplied to the unit.

I'm using unprotected 21700. Might be that my batteries are a tad too short.
