Wait. Educate a dummy, here. Isn't 18350 the same dimensions as a CR123?
Not quite. The 18350 is the same diameter as the 18650. The CR123 is a 16340, so it's slightly smaller.
I should have also said... The last three numbers are the diameter. The numbers before that are the length.
@Curious_Canid I read somewhere that the last digit is the shape : 0 for cylindrical
You're right. I should have looked it up and not relied on my somewhat faulty memory. Thanks for the correction.
@Curious_Canid I couldn't verify it, I don't have access to the IEC standard, so don't trust me either.
