    Shockli cells at “demolition pricetag” - Grab 'em while you can

    Mmmkay saw this half a day ago or so and I must admit I've been fighting against myself to avoid buying what I don't really need. I also catched a cold prior to this AliExpress sale frenzy and I'm running some fever, making my @#$% harder. Someone in BLF posted a 21700 4000mAh Shockli deal which...

    VBatty/VariCore 32700 7000/6500mAh 35A LiFePO₄ review

    VBatty 32700 3.2V 7000mAh (Grey) review @ lygte-info.dk Related discussion thread @ BudgetLightForum Looks like one of the temp sensors was not correctly placed but, anyway, the 35A maximum continuous rating is plausible: at 30A cell reached +30°C over ambient temperature, with +34°C...

    My new “battery charger” :-)

    Received one a couple days ago. Onboard voltmeter is within ±0.02V, and it features internal trimpots for both voltmeter and amperimeter adjustment. Ampmeter is spot on according to my multimeter. Maximum output voltage goes up to ≈31.6V. I have this BF-2A battery holder on the way. Together...

    Datasheet: http://www.datasheetspdf.com/datasheet/download.php?id=1165169 A super-affordable cell aimed at the light electric vehicle market. No serious reviews of it yet. Piqued my interest because of its very affordable pricing and comparatively nice official figures (a Samsung ICR18650-26F/J...

    Vapcell INR18650 2000mAh (Black) review by HKJ: high discharge surprise!!!

    Vapcell INR18650 2000mAh (Black) @ lygte-info.dk 38A? :glug: Cells only went up to ≈+34°C above ambient so, despite the low capacity, those 38A continuous may as well be true! Know what? The shape of the discharge curves looks like those of the Samsung 30T, the shape of the cell smells...

    Just for laughs: BestKalint shows off x-D

    From Amazon: BestKalint IMR 26650 90A 4500mAh Li-mn Rechargeable Battery with Flat Top (2 pcs) A little math, of course. Given that the best high discharge 26650 cells' internal resistance figures still are above 20mΩ, even considering the best state of charge conditions (4 to 4.2V) we have...

    Shockli IMR26650 5500mAh (Black) 2017 reviewed by HKJ

    Test of Shockli IMR26650 5500mAh (Black) 2017 This seems to be the latest cell from PLB (高一致性3.7V 5500mAh 镍钴锰酸锂大容量三元动力锂电池|储能锂电池 生产厂家-东莞力朗电池科技有限公司), the OEM behind the LiitoKala 26650-50A. It's current handling ability is a bit worse, yet it probably is the most capacious 26650 in the market...

    Samsung INR21700-30T 3000mAh (Gray) reviewed by HKJ

    The 50A discharge curves are mostly missing because HKJ's battery holder melted. He needs some high amp discharge equipment upgrade. The 40A curve was done in free air, if not at least one of the cells would have gotten a tad above 80°C absolute temp limit (55+°C above ambient). Probably a...
