    PRELIMINARY Bench Test Results: Sony VTC5D 18650...around 25A, 2700mAh-2800mAh, beats VTC5A

    Just called Enerdan in Berlin today to ask them about this battery. Was told, that this battery is a modification of the VTC5A, done by Murata for a known manufacturer of vaccum cleaner. The last letter refers to the name of the manufacturer (so you can start guessing, or just read, what Mooch...

    21700 batteries will replace 18650 in electrical cigarette industry!

    The big manufacturer are "fighting" on every A CDR and on every mAh in 18650 against eachother and you wish the same capacityand Power in 14500 and 18350 like at 18650? and I wish George Cloony will be the next president of the U.S.A :D

    UWELL Nunchaku battery help

    I would suggest, that the problem is neither on the battery, nor on the DNA Chips, but moreover with the contact between battery and Mod. In order to transfer high currents from a battery to the application (Mod), the contacts of the Mod must be able to "deliver" those currents further. So if...

    “Favorite Battery Company” Poll Results

    Voting Sony is understandable and is psychologically explainable :D As soon as a girl tells you, she would not like to date you, you will try it harder, or as soon as a bar keeper tells you, he would not like to see you in his club...happens the same. It is this feeling of rejection, that thrill...

    safe (from heat) Rechargeable 18650 or AA type cells for Headlamp?

    According to most specifications of the big manufactures storage should be at not more than 45 Degrees (Celsius = 115 °F) and between 10%-50% SOC (State Of Charge). It is always important to store the batteries (even if in hot Environment) in some close compartment at your car and not under...

    POLL: Which is your favorite battery company?

    Even when Samsung SDI does not really like to see their batteries inserted into eCigs, still it is a big difference, if they are acting the way Sony, or LG Chem do. Beside of VTC5A that currently does not have any comparable battery at any other manufacturer, I don´t vape at such rates and...

    POLL: Which is your favorite battery company?

    Another last voice for Samsung, not because I think there are so many differences to other manufacturer, but because: 1. Most cost-effective 2. Always available 3. Never heard about an accident with Samsung 4. Never saw, or heard any message going out from Samsung against vaping

    21700 batteries will replace 18650 in electrical cigarette industry!

    Yes and No :D If you are a manufacturer like Bosch, that use one Li-Ion battery inside a small driller, You can raise capacity and power with the 21700 just with small adjustment in the housing of the device. So you have a big improvement. When you want to have single cell mod and you vape at...

    Bench Test Results: Sherlock Hohm 28.4A 2782mAh 20700...a 25A battery, worse than 5-leg top contact

    Funny name and nice idea, however so much nonsense like: "Reformulated using its little sibling’s Hohm Work foundation, but with 1.3% greater nickel (Ni) concentration per unit of measure" - I doubt, if they even know the exact chemistry of the cell or: "EPTC (Enhanced Positive Thermal...

    18500, 18650 button top battery question

    I have maybe good news for you guys. I picked up my 48V battery from Enerdan GmbH today. They were friendly enough to allow a "Berliner" to make a pick-up. They assembled for my new Bafang Motor a battery for my eBike. I asked them, if they are willing to assemble 18650 with Button-Tops (they...

    18500, 18650 button top battery question

    I thought ProVari was dead :rolleyes: well at least in Germany you can get any of them...maybe on Old-Timer market. I started with vaping around 2 years ago, so didn´t even have the chance to test them.

    18500, 18650 button top battery question

    I think that if the people out there are aware of this point, they can put the different retailers under "pressure" to source for them products with high-quality. I think a 20A battery like 25R, VTC5 etc. with such a Button-Top can be really hot on this spot, if you try to discharge with more...

    18500, 18650 button top battery question

    Baditude - I would be a bit suspicious about those ones with the button-Top you linked, if the Discharge current is higher than 10A. Most of Chinese manufacturer do not weld the Button-Top to the cell, but weld a nickel stripe between the Button-Top part and the cell and than band it and shrink...

    18500, 18650 button top battery question

    I am not so sure, if they test their branded cells, but I found on their website technical specifications like this one: http://www.enercig.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/EC-26650_5200_EC-265HC.pdf http://www.enercig.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/EC-26650_5200_EC-265HC.pdf Seems they test their...

    Who makes 18500 batteries?

    Sanyo, Panasonic and Sony are the only manufacturer from the big ones, that still have them in their range...however only at High-Capacity. There are several small-medium sized Chinese manufacturer for high Power 18500, most of the batteries are used in battery packs in Toys (like small drones)...

    Which is king of the Sony VTC 18650 batteries? VTC4A, VTC5A, or VTC6A?

    Thank you Mooch, looks very interesting. Asked few minutes ago my friend who works a lot with Sony, how come on the VTC4A and VTC6A are no QR-Code (?!) He said, that those batteries are so far he knows not in flow production. The US18650VTC6A is not yet UL registered (while VTC4A and VTC5D yes)

    Bench Test Results: Basen 30A 4000mAh 21700…ridiculously overrated, just an average 20A battery

    Well just read at the German flashlight forum about the Lishen 21700. Attached are 2 images. The image with the 48G and NCR201700B is taken from this forum. Comparing the Plus-side of the battery....looks very likely to be Lishen made with 4Ah capacity and 3C on CDR.

    Efest 4544 IMR 21700 35A battery

    I don´t think that the Golisi S35 are 30A, I read even elsewhere, that Mooch rated Vapecell with 24A and they seems to be the same. In fact it is easy to take 2 reference batteries from Samsung, that Mooch already tested. The INR21700-30T has 3000 mAh and 35A-40A. The INR21700-40T with 4000 mAh...
