Hello, New batteries do not work with SolarForce L600 Torch

Hello,
I have a solarforce L600 torch, and i bought new batteries for it. My old ones died because of my lack of care, so i decided to buy batteries with a protection circuit. I bought UltraFire 18650 3000mah 3.7 v batteries. They fit, and everything matches the original batteries except the new ones have a larger capacity (mah) which shouldnt be a problem. The problem is when i put in the new batteries (fully charged and ready to go) the flashlight does not light up. I at first thought it was the batteries, so i checked the output with a volt meter, and they seem to be fine. i tried the original batteries again in the flashlight and it works fine. So the new batteries do not work for some reason.
Thanks for any response

Where do I get a new battery pack no. 0809 for my N2120 torch?

To purchase a new battery pack for your N2120 torch, you could check with local hardware stores or electrical supply stores. You could also try searching online retailers that specialize in lighting and electrical products, such as Amazon.
In New Zealand, you may also be able to find the battery pack you're looking for at major hardware retailers such as Bunnings Warehouse or Mitre 10. Additionally, you could try checking with manufacturers or suppliers of lighting equipment in the country.
If you are having trouble finding the exact battery pack you need, you could try reaching out to the manufacturer of the torch for assistance or to see if they have a recommended supplier in your area.

I dropped my zico torch why won't it work now?

Zico torches are powered by three AAA batteries, rechargeable or otherwise. Sometimes they're a bit picky about what kind of battery you use. I had this happen to me with a really old Zico and it took me forever (and several dead torch batteries) to figure out that the batteries were actually just flat. After replacing them with a new set of batteries, the torch worked fine. The moral of the story is that if your Zico isn't working at all, it could be due to insufficient power from the batteries. Try changing your batteries and see what happens. If you're determined to not use an alkaline battery in this case, then rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries are a good choice. You could also try using a lithium ion battery pack instead of regular alkaline AAA's, but they may not fit inside the Zico. Also keep in mind that some rechargeable batteries will only work in brand new torches. For example, my Panasonic Eneloop batteries are only good for about 6 charge cycles. After that, I've found they won't deliver the same level of power to my Zico torch. Taking all that into consideration, it could be your batteries are fine but you're just not using them properly. Make sure when you're replacing the batteries in your Zico, correctly

My blackberry torch wont except any sim other than my old one i have a new one on the same network but it just keeps saying insert sim. this is also the case when try other peoples sim card but then i put...

Your blackberry is locked on single sim card, and you can unlock that phone using blackberry torch unlock code for your network provider. You can get blackberry unlock code from your provider and they will charge you for that code or you can buy blackberry unlock code from third party sites with lower price and quick delivery service.

Fully charged Lithium batteries dies out too quick and the USB cable does not work? Please help. thank you.

If the lithium batteries are of the AA shape then put them in a small torch and leave the torch on to fully run them down. If they are of an odd shape endeavor to do this with bulb wire and tape. Then try recharging them. If this fails- simply get a new set of batteries at first. Then come back
