Anyone have a PV Elite IMR 26650?

[owmang]

thinking of buying a PV Elite IMR 26650 from madvapes, they boast a 48A continuous discharge rate. ive got a mnke 20A 26650 that i use for builds around .4 ohms and some vtc5s that i use for builds around .2 but i want a bigger amp limit to start building .12 ohm coils. just wanting to know if these pv elites are the real deal with their current ratings or not

Where is Baditude when you need him?

I know, I know. Just couldn't resist. I'm not sure who the best people around here are for battery info now that Baditude is away from the internet.

Maybe this bump will bring them forward.

I want to see a Independent test charts! 48 continuous amp sounds to good to be true and I am betting it is. If I bought on of these without certified test results I would build for 30 amp continuous at the MAX. I do not see Battery technology improving overnite and if this brand manufacturer could do 48 amp continuous other brands could also. [and provide independent test charts. I would go so far as to say any Vender making exaggerated battery claims[come on 48 continuous amps for $10] I would never visit there Website again. But that's just me.

went out to the madvapes site and clicked on the tests and this is what I read:

"We've tested a few of our PVTSO batteries against some of the best batteries out there to show you a performance comparison. As you'll see from the graphs, the quality and performance of these batteries give Sony and Panasonic a run for their money!

For high-amperage testing, we tested each cell at 8A. This is a good amperage that any 18650 IMR should be able to handle, while also giving consistent results that apply to sub-ohm vaping. A battery at 3.7 volts pulling 8A of current means the resistance has to be 0.46Ω. Builds below this resistance will experience decreased battery life and voltage, while resistances above will have increased battery life and voltage. 8A is the perfect amperage for this test."

Granted, this comment relates to 18650 batteries, but if their idea of high-amperage testing is 8A's I would not trust a claim of 48A.

I WOULD NOT TRUST THESE BATTERIES AT ALL FOR LOW SUB OHM VAPING!

I'd be interested to see independent test results just to see what they actually are capable of safely I think we need someone on YouTube reviewing batteries like people are with attys and mods.

As fast as someone can accurately test them someone has the same battery re wrapped with another new name and fictitious amp claim.

yea i did suspect 48A continuous was a bit too good to be true. man im really fiending a true 40A battery. if sony came out with a 40A they would blitz the sub ohm vaping market for sure but until then i'll stick with my vtc5s

I'll sell you the Sloth Elite Double Plus V5 26650 battery, which is 100A continuous draw. Just give me a week for the shrink wrap and TrustFires to arrive from China first.

Looks a lot like the MNKE. I'd believe 48 pulse rate, but I don't think I'd push it to 48. If it was sony, or mnke, I'd absolutely trust the listed rate. But for now, I'm calling shenanigans.
