These tests below only note my personal ESTIMATED ratings for these batteries 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 were never meant 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
This is a very good performing cell, about equal to the Samsung 30T at 10A down to about 3.4V and at 30A down to about 3.2V. The Samsung 30T will run for a bit longer if you continue to use it below those voltages.
This is not a Samsung 30T rewrap! I do not know what cell they are using though and I do not know how this cell’s cycle life (overall life) compares to the Samsung 30T.
The 50A “max” rating of this Vapcell is useless, ignore it.
The two cells I tested delivered 2996mAh and 3061mAh. This is not good consistency and would be typical of cells from some China factories. One cell did not meet Vapcell’s 3000mAh capacity rating but it was so close that I am still rating these at 3000mAh.
I would prefer to see these rated at 2900mAh by Vapcell though since the one lower capacity cell I received cannot be the lowest rated one in the batch. The big manufacturers like Samsung, Murata, LG, etc., typically rate their cells a decent amount below the lowest capacity you will measure for any cell. For example, the 3000mAh rated Samsung 30Q typically delivers over 3100mAh.
