Brands of batteries

[linnx]

We have been asked to carry mod batteries.

We are compiling a list of battery manufacturers, and would love to get your input.

So far we have:

AW
TrustFire
UltraFire

Also High Drain IMR

We plan to buy in large quantities so we can pass some big savings to you!

Let us know if you want to see any specific types

Thanks!

I think the AW IMR 18650's and 14500's are the two most popular.

4 sure the 18650 AW IMR high drain batts.

Thanks for the input! Much appreciated

Three top Batt manufacturers for E-cigs, just my opinion, = AW & Redilast & MNKE With AW & MNKE being the best in IMR and AW & Redilast being the best in protected,,, Junk= Trust & UltraFire,, again just my personal opinion from using these Batts over the last 3yrs or longer

aw please: 18650 both protected and imr;18490,18350,16340 and..........3100mah

boo on the fire brand

AW 16340's please! AW of course.

Make sure if you get the 14500 Trustfire batteries with the flame jacket, they the real ones. They should be the same size as AA batteries. I got once from a vendor that didn't even know he had the fakes.

Honestly I know AW are of a very high quality and a great Batt, but I dont know why more people are not using the MNKE IMR and also the Redilast Batts, these two manufacturers make seriously great Batts, and I get longer run times out of the MNKE then I do from the AW IMR and the MNKE has a Maximum discharging current: 20a with the AW having a Max. continuous discharge rate : 15C,,,,Ive been running these against the AW with the MNKE winning for some time now.

Same thing with the protected Li-ion Batts with Redilast vs AW the AW having a Max. Discharge Rate : 5.8A and the Redilast having a Max discharge current: 6.2A in the newer 3100 series 18650. Again dont get me wrong the AW is of a high quality Batt but I really like the Redilast Batts in this class over the AW Batts. Again I have been running both for some time now and would chose the Redilast. These are just my own personal opinions and findings. The only thing you have to be careful of with the Redilast is they run big and are a bit tight in some mods but you can not beat there performance and run times. It would be super to see an ECF supplier who would carry both the Redilast & MNKE Batts as well as the AW since everyone else seems to carry the AW and Sh!-!^ Fire brands.

Thanks for the input again! It'll take some time, but once we get them in we'll have to send out some samples for people to try and give their input.

Now I'll just do a giveaway for the TrustFires. About 6 trustfire batteries and 2 chargers. Will do a Facebook giveaway this weekend for anyone that could use a few spares

Thanks for the battery lesson It is a subject that I need to brush up on. We were asked if we could carry some batteries, so the more info the better! I'm sure it will take some time though to find the quality ones. Usually we have to order from several factories to weed through the quality. I'm on it though

Honestly I know AW are of a very high quality and a great Batt, but I dont know why more people are not using the MNKE IMR and also the Redilast Batts, these two manufacturers make seriously great Batts, and I get longer run times out of the MNKE then I do from the AW IMR and the MNKE has a Maximum discharging current: 20a with the AW having a Max. continuous discharge rate : 15C the MNKE is 5C higher and Ive been running these against the AW with the MNKE winning for some time now.

Same thing with the protected Li-ion Batts with Redilast vs AW the AW having a Max. Discharge Rate : 5.8A and the Redilast having a Max discharge current: 6.2A in the newer 3100 series 18650. Again dont get me wrong the AW is of a high quality Batt but I really like the Redilast Batts in this class over the AW Batts.

No problem, the Redilast can be looked into here = http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/sh...ttery-sales!-High-quality-Made-in-Japan-Korea!

With Tactical supply seeming to be one of the bigger suppliers here in the states but you may do better buying direct of course

And I have spoken to the owner of the MNKE Plant and he can be spoken to here = Mnke Li-ion Power Battery (IMR-18650A) - China Power Battery,Lithium Power Battery,Power Tools in Battery & Charger

I have also spoken to the owner of the MNKE plant and to buy direct the only way is to buy quantity do to the shipping laws of Batts so he would only sell me the minimum of a case of like 100 which wasn't feasible so I held off, but for someone that is going to be a supplier it would be worth while I'm sure

These 2 manufacturers along with Andrew from AW and your looking at the top 3 quality Batt manufacturers in my opinion only of course.

My mistake from before, the ones we have samples of are UltraFire. From all the advice, it sounds like we should avoid these.

 

[tybin]

well, i know the large orange ones were garbage for me

 

[linnx]

From all the comments it seems we should avoid TrustFire and Ultrafire... We definitely do not want to carry garbage.

Just found out that MNKE is not producing these batteries anymore. Apparently they were bought out by another company and this is no longer a product that they will be dealing with.. unless of course you might want to buy a few truck loads full
