I believe the alloy to be bronze rather than brass

That's a nice way of telling me I was wrong, thanks. It's indeed bronze!

mine is like your 008

I think you're agent 007!

It's hit or miss on a model by model basis

But I noticed that my Molicel P28A cells cannot fit

Gentlemen!

I just received my order of 18650 today!
incredible! they all fit (7/7) this Nomad #008..!! it's the one with the tightest tolerance!
when I unpacked them I immediately felt that they were very thin!

wow... it's going to be intense

by the way, this is the first time I've seen this message directly on the batteries!

I saw that message on your batteries. It sounds strange, would someone know why it is written on it ? Maybe to prevent any legal problem ?

Yeah, I've seen that for awhile now, I think it's just a disclaimer aimed at injury lawsuits and selling/shipping. A result of the various vape bans.

Yes it's a disclaimer. Those 18650 cells were never meant to be used outside of a battery pack (ie. with a proper BMS circuit at the minimum, but possibly with temperature probes and cutoffs, fuses etc for what would constitute a "proper" battery pack, like you find in power tools for instance)

The novelty is that they also need to write the capacity and voltage on the wrap itself and this part is due to the air freight rules (you need to know the total embarked capacity easily, and it was not possible in the past when that information was missing on the wrap) There was a transition period where resellers had to slap a capacity sticker on the cells.
