After all this time I have found the reason why I had so much trouble with my SVD in the beginning...
If you have a look at these two batteries you will see they are not the same size... but they are both marked as 18650's! The one on the left I got first at the same time as the SVD and the SVD seemed faulty... but with the replacement I also ordered some new batteries and used those when they arrived and the SVD seemed to work fine. The funny sized one I had at the back of drawer and had never used it again but donated it to my mate along with the SID. He phoned in a state when his first battery ran out and he put the other one (one on the left) into the SID... she no work because she no close and she is longer and fatter than a normal 18650.
So I have to apologize for being ugly to the SVD all this time... it appears as it was a lemon battery all along!
Sorry iTaste SVD.
