I recently got myself a DGX 600 light from dive gear express (https://www.divegearexpress.com/lights/backuplt.shtml)
It came with an 18650 battery and I was looking for a second battery to have on hand. I located one at a local electronics place, but it was shorter and the guy said it was because it didn't have the circuit in it that the original battery has, which I suppose is the protection circuit. i'm kind of new to this so a couple questions:
1) what happens if you run the light without a circuit in the battery?
2) is this protection circuit a standard thing? as in, any battery with a protection circuit will function the same, or is this something that's been specifically tweaked by the light manufacturer to get a certain output from the battery for their light
thanks in advance!
