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
This cell is a great performer and its 20A rating seems reasonable. It performs almost as well as the Samsung 30Q at the start of a discharge and outperforms the 30Q by a little for the rest of the discharge. The Vapcell B30 outperforms the Vapcell Red R30.
This Vapcell B30 only runs a little bit hotter than the Samsung 30Q but I recommend staying under 15A if you are running it continuously. I do not know how this Vapcell’s cycle life compares to the long-lasting Samsung 30Q.
The two cells I tested delivered 3080mAh and 3097mAh. This is good consistency and exceeds this cell’s 3000mAh rating.
Two cells were donated for testing by Vapcell (18650 batteries, Vapcell batteries, 18650 Chargers). Thank you!
