We've been oddly humid and rainy sprinkled in with the odd sort of superhot day, but it's still Tucson, so we are still in the "Fry" zone a bit longer. I actually get more optimistic THIS time of year as I can at least see FALL approaching through all the hot, wavy air. LOL.

A new report from Mooch:

Bench Test Results: AW 12A 800mAh Button Top 18350...only a 6A 700mAh battery

Bottom Line: Both of the cells I tested delivered about 700mAh of capacity and were poor performers with an exaggerated current rating. Their large voltage sag made them essentially unusable at 10A, as displayed by the huge drop in the Wh delivered between 5A and 10A.

Both cells had the anti-counterfeit hologram with microprinting and were purchased from Avid Vapes.

The two cells I tested delivered 696mAh and 704mAh for a 160mA (0.2C) discharge down to 2.5V.

I am estimating this cell’s ratings at 6A and 700mAh. Current ratings for high internal resistance batteries like these are a combination of the temperature the battery runs at and how badly the voltage sags, i.e., its Wh specs.

Two cells were purchased for the purposes of testing by me.

I want to work for the vaping community full time! If you feel what I do is worth a couple dollars a month and you would like early access to battery availability and testing news and a say in what I test then please consider becoming a patron and supporting my testing efforts: https://www.patreon.com/batterymooch

These tests only note the estimated ratings for these batteries at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic, or Sanyo can change at any time! This is one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” batteries 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 personal injury or property damage. They are not meant to be used outside of a protected battery pack. Never exceed the battery’s continuous current rating and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition.

Any rating in my ratings tables can change at any time as different grade cells appear on the market, we get swamped with fakes, or new information becomes available to me. Please, never assume that the ratings in the tables are permanent and will never change! Always download the latest version before considering any cell purchase.

Hottest place on earth (not sure if this excludes volcanos or not, probably) the tarmac at Phoenix airport.

I have no clue how they even RUN the place in summer months but there do appear to be airplane crews and etc., scurrying around on the tarmac and whatnot, but that is a job you couldn't pay me enough (figuratively obviously, if you paid me say 25 million dollars for a year I might do it) to work there. The airplane tenders are a hardy breed, apparently. LOL.
