These tests below only note my personal ESTIMATED ratings for the batteries I tested at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, or Sanyo can change at any time! This is one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.
Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of property damage, personal injury, or even death. They are not supposed to be used outside of a fully protected battery pack and you use them at your own risk. Never exceed the battery’s true continuous current rating and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition.
Testing batteries at their limits is dangerous and should never be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved, understands the risks, has the proper equipment, and takes all appropriate safety precautions.
If the battery has only one current rating number, or if it only says "max", then I have to assume the battery is rated at that current level for any type of discharge, including continuous.
Test Results
EVE is one of the large, established cell manufacturers in China (EVE). This is an average performing cell. The EVE 25P doesn’t perform quite as well in testing as the Samsung 25R or Hohm Work V2 but you probably wouldn’t notice much of a difference in actual use. The Molicel P26A or the Murata VTC5A or VTC5D perform better than the EVE 25P.
This cell’s “Max. Continuous Discharge” rating of 30A is temperature-limited. The datasheet says you can draw 30A from this cell but must stop before it reaches 80°C (damn hot). I recommend staying under 20A to improve performance (reduce the voltage sag), extend cell life, and reduce risk.
While this is not a high performance cell the EVE 25P should be available at a lower price and could be a good choice for use where cost is a priority over max performance.
The cycle life rating in the datasheet is decent but I have not tested it.
The two cells I tested delivered 2466mAh and 2476mAh. This is below their 2500mAh nominal capacity rating. I cannot have the lowest capacity cells in the batch so I am rating them at 2400mAh. The consistency is fantastic for cells I’ve seen from the larger China cell manufacturers.
Two cells were purchased for testing by me.
