Anyone running a DNT Zulus HD 2? Wondering what batteries to get

I don't have the vulus , have the Hydra 635 with 18650 batteries, but all the rechargeable batteries are pretty much the same ,but I've found the Panasonic to have the best life , I've got some that are 15 years old that are still taking and holding a charge , and had some cheap brands that only lasted 2 years ,so I only buy Panasonic brand now and there's different types of Panasonic, can't remember the top tier modles but they were white in color and the cheaper ones were black.
 
Wondering if any of yall' are running a Zulus HD 2 and have bought extra 21700 flat top batteries for it and can suggest a good brand.
New here, so just browsing the threads and saw your question. I don't have the Zulus V2 yet but have been eyeballing them pretty hard. I do vape and been through a lot of 21700 batteries. I have a drawer full of them that I've collected over the past few years. Right now I'm using Molicel 21700 P45B 4500mAh batteries and they hold up pretty well. I have 4 that have been in use since August 2023 and are still going strong. At 65 watts and heavy use, a set of two will run ~8 hrs and still be at 50% charge or more. FYI, there is a great ranking chart attached (testing by Mooch). Given that that's a much more demanding use case, I'd be comfortable using it to find a good battery for your optic.
