Not that I know of. I made a search for “Apexium” in the forum, returned 0 results.
Who cares? He's not the only one who provides reliable testresults.
I care. It was a simple question no need for the hostility.Who cares? He's not the only one who provides reliable testresults.
And lygte is far longer in the business than him
Just pointed out an outline about a performance significant product. This is all, but
thanks.
Not sure, but look from the optic very similar to Molicel.
Hostility? No. I just pointed out that lygte has a very good reputation as a battery reviewer for years.
Oh, and unlike others he doesn't get paid for the job btw.

Wow, some emotion involved here. What has my testing done to elicit this?
There are several testers, each with different approaches and qualifications. Folks who read the results from one tester getting confronted by someone who reads the results from another tester is a strange thing to see.
If a persons asks if a particular tester has posted something about a cell then your first question was answered before you asked it, wasn’t it?
HKJ doesn't present reliable facts. A reliable fact is that HKJ's calculated internal resistance numbers are about equally as reliable as a fantasy, and, to me, that raises a few questions about the reliability of HKJ's testing methodology (if we can assume there is a methodology present in what HKJ does).@Mooch
Emotion? Again no. You don't have to justify what you do nor the way you do it.
I just pointed out that there are others, that do the same job albeit on a hobby basis, that have as good a reputation as you.
Nothing more, nothing less.
I've never ever questioned your reputation nor your testing results with a single word.
Nevertheless HKJ presents reliable facts for years, and to question his results is at least quite odd to me.
If you need to rely on someone else to “take care of you”, sooner or later you may have to swallow some hard, displeasing facts. Be your own master and fully take responsibility for what you believe in is a good advice I can provide you.… I had the feeling that HJK does not go critical enough with Characteristics that were important to me. When I read Mooch test and I see his testing and published results, and I have the feeling, someone is taking care of me
I think that also those repeat tests are very useful and important, since we have experienced how some Chinese are working.
HKJ has a very automated methodology for making tests, and sure you may find some faults among his mess. He also dedicates some of his time to publish reviews and answer questions in BLF and CPF forums, which is amazing.HKJ doesn't present reliable facts.

I come from the IT part of the universe so, to me, "automated methodology" translates to "automated mess-o-dology".If you need to rely on someone else to “take care of you”, sooner or later you may have to swallow some hard, displeasing facts.

If you need a reliable way to calculate cell DC internal resistance, do so by inferring it from the very own discharge curves at some given discharge point, preferably early to avoid the influence of heat too much. Use some common sense, too. For example:
At the 0.25Ah point in the discharge curves, the average 30A discharge curve voltage for the Apexiums is 3.495V, whereas for their 1A curves it is 4.04V. Thus, Apex2600DCIR = dV / dI = |(4.04V - 3.495V)| / |(1 - 30)| = 0.545 / 29 = ≈18.79mΩ.
For the SonyVTC5ADCIR = |(4.045V - 3.485V)| / |(1 - 30)| = 0.56 / 29 = ≈19.31mΩ.
This provides a quite close effective figure within some error margin, of course.

Some folks can't see the difference between someone who does stuff for a hobby who lacks key basic understandings and a genuine professional expert who has all the serious technical background we could ever hope for plus some. And then there's these folks who come to online places bragging in this way about something or someone to infer certain things about stuff they typically haven't even the slightest clue about (not pointing at you). I have seen it all happen before, and I have seen it happen a million times over. That said, I remember Mooch wrote in an old discussion thread here on ECF or on reddit (I can't remember which), the VTC5A has a DCIR of about 18 mOhms. Going by how the initial sag looks like, the DCIR of the Apexium is probably more than a tad higher.
