Found good 18.3mm x 70.0mm 18650 batteries, will they fit? [Molicel M35A](https://www.18650batterystore.com/en-ca/products/molicel-m35a-protected-button-top-battery) Protected Button Top, 3500mAh, 10A. But the dimensions are off from recommended (18.3mm x 70.0mm **vs** Ø18±0.5mm x 65-69mm). Has anyone had luck with **70mm long** batteries and/or **18.6+ wide** batteries, thanks. ---

For anyone still interested, yes, they do fit 🙂 Works well. 8h of battery life at 100% CPU on R-01. Perfect for Emacs and Terminal stuff, both come preinstalled. ---

I’m using the flat top with excellent performance. Yes they do work.
