26650 cells

[Wheelin247]

I’ve been out of the round cell game since I’ve started building lipo mods and using lipo packs. I’m wanting to get a 22650 mech and just wanting to get some feedback on people who use 26650’s. What are the good cells on the market and why do you say what you do? And GO!!

These ijoy's are widely regarded as being the best 26650 available. A great trustworthy seller as well

For me the iJoy 26650 is the only one worth getting.

I used to run Basen until the iJoy's came out. I've since rotated all my Basen's out for the iJoy's.

Hi. A couple of questions regarding these (26650) batteries.
What is the highest mah currently available?
Is there a difference (in size or otherwise) between protected and not protected, other than maybe max amperage?
I am going to use these batteries in a Geekvape Aegis at 15-18 watts, so I won't even reach 7A draw from the battery, therefore I am looking for the maximum mah in a 26650.
I have seen some on this site, and am between a couple of them.
NKON | Keeppower IMR 26650 6000mAh - 20A - 26650 size - Rechargeable batteries
NKON | Keeppower 26650 6000mAh (protected) - 10A - 26650 size - Rechargeable batteries
NKON | Efest IMR26650 5000mAh - 18A - 26650 size - Rechargeable batteries

Two of them are keeppower at 6000mah (and according to mooch's chart, other keeppower's have been good), one is protected, the other is not. I usually would go for not protected but that one is out of stock and I am wondering if the protected would be a bit taller, creating problems in closing the door on the mod. Don't know if protected can cause any other issues when used in a regulated mod...never used one in my mods.
The other one is an efest at 5000 mah, they have been getting good reviews.

Which battery would you chose from all of those on the page, keeping in mind that I don't need better than 7A draw?

Thank you!

PS: I am in Portugal, therefore I need an European shop, that is why I put that one up, couldn't find another shop with a good selection of batteries.

cvigti, the Keeppower UH2660 cell can also be had in AliExpress at Aliya's Battery Store.
You can also buy the P2660C, remove the protection and rewrap the cells. No big deal.
The cell in question is from Power Long Battery OEM, it's actual diameter reachs 26.7mm (bear this in mind and see if your mod can fit it). Here's a review of such cell with a different wrap.

Cheers and good luck
