This only indirectly relates to the infamous battery recall.

I purchased a MS900 from GMG a couple years ago. It came with a "rectangular" battery pack.

After a few months the battery died, and I wrote a note to GMG and they were kind enough to send a new battery pack to replace the one that died.

The second one seemed more secure, it was cylindrical and came in a little drawstring bag.

It is working fine.

Anyway the question is, does anyone know if the "defective" batteries were of the first type (which I trashed) or the second type (which I still have and am way too lazy to return, especially if that's not the one that is defective).

Anyone know??

Both. Check the recall page.

Thanks. I am still reluctant to send it back as it works fine and I don't want to be without a light for several months waiting for a replacement.

But I am still curious, among those that have actually had a battery fire, were these the 1st generation (rectangular) or 2nd generation (cylindrical)?

Anyone know?

There were "only" 2 or 3 fires, but since they decided not to replace the rectangles with the cylinders and the consultant thought both versions needed to be replaced, it prolly doesn't matter.
