Which high discharge 18650 battery do you recommend?

I use these and have had good luck with them. You can buy them in other places obviously but I usually buy them here when I pick up a new Malkoff light. If Malkoff is using them for his lights, you know they are good.

I have an Olight Baton thats about 4 years old. Its gets a lot of use around the house.

Its self discharging now. I bought some EBL batteries and on high, the light shuts down. The battery cant handle the amp draw causing a voltage drop, and the circuit shuts down.

I could buy a new Olight battery, but wanted to ask whats the best out there?

Thanks.

Is it a normal button top battery, or Olights proprietary 18650? If it's a standard configuration 18650, there are many available. Surefire makes one with micro usb charging for example.

I have a Nightcore 3400 and a Klarus 3100 in flashlights that are holding up well.

I also have a bunch of the red Ultrafire; they're not quite junk, but I wouldn't use them for anything beyond toys. Battery Junction seems to be careful with these; other suppliers less so. I've read that some are recovered from older laptops being recycled.
