AW Black 18650 3.7v 2900mAh (yes, 2900)!

[Wylie]

I ordered a couple of these new 2900 mAh batteries from VK and since I just got them, I can't say how long they will last, but I can say they produce more vapor than any other 3.7v battery I have in the same setup (GGTS/UFS/LR510). I checked the voltage and they read 3.95v, but they produce far more vapor than my UltraFires registering 4.17v.

Anybody know how or why these batteries seem to be producing so much vapor? I thought mAh only related to battery duration.


Other 3.7 batteries used to compare: UltraFire 18650, AW 18500, AW High Drain 18490, TrustFire 14500.

Hi Wylie,

Sorry we haven't replied sooner. The forum has been pretty quiet lately.

The mAh rating can affect how much punch the battery has. A lower mAh battery may actually suffer voltage drop if it can't keep up.

Thanks, Rob. I can say the 'punch' is definitely noticeable. BTW, I've only now gotten through my second battery!
