Panasonic 26650 CGR26650A - Has anyone tried these?

[DeadbeatJeff]

How are they?

They seem to have a lower IR (10mohm) than the SONYs (16mohm)

Price is right too.

bbbbbummpp

Can't say I've tried them.

 

[DeadbeatJeff]

yeah IDGI...

They are 50a, unprotected cells with a very low IR, lower even than the VTCs, priced right, but no one has tried them, not really.

These just came on the market, so it will take a while for reports to appear. Seeing as Panasonic is a major leader and innovator in battery technology, I would imagine that this will be an excellent battery if it fits your applications.

how low have you taken them?

.31

Like i said, i'm almost positive those are basically the sony 26650. I also saw the resistance difference, but didnt put too much stock into it because the reports weren't clear to me. As far as i was concerned, and like you said; the price was right. Also, they were available and the specs were very close. I had a chance to get the sonys on ebay, but opted for the panasonics instead because i wasnt quite sure why sony stopped making the 26650. Actually, i have most of the 26650's out. Mkne, panasonic and imren. IMO, they're all great, but the imren 26650 are 60amp, unlike the 50amp sonys or panasonics. Not sure if thats continuous or pulse tho...

is pulse, very much like the MNKE, 20/60

I'm curious if these Panis can do well under very low load. Will likely pick some up.

What resistance are you thinking of? .10 or something? I don't see why they wouldn't do well. I may make a lower build and see how they hold up. What mod are you using?

I sometimes like to go really low on my The Copper, 0.08 at the low end, and I was finding that the Sonys crappped out a bit after just a few pulls.

Actually, Baditude, these cells have been around since 2008. Here's the spec sheet: CGR26650A Datasheet | DatasheetLib.com

Which is why I find the whole thing confusing
