trustfire batteries

[kenetix]

Has anyone had any experience with the white trstfire batteries? I know everyone is all crazy over other ones (aw etc) I just hadn't seen these before...

I have never seen the white wrapping before, but all the vendors I buy from usually say color or wrap may differ from time to time. They say they have a pcb so I don't see any problems.

Not tried those before, but the flame ones are what the guys tend to use.

Only 1 review on DX so far (5 star mind you)

Pros:
-It fits perfectly in my ultrafire c1 with no rattle.
-It holds a LOT of power. Over 9hrs of run time on high and over 14 on low.

Cons:
the packaging was pretty annoying to take off

For that price though I would rather buy the following - IMR18650-1500mAh 3.7V Rechargeable LiMn battery (2 pcs) . Mine are still going strong and outlast the TF flame 2400maH.

Those are longer than most

but do they really HAVE a protection PCB?

Usual batteries. No pros, no cons. If you use them in series without a regulator, or with a regulator, but with acceptable power, should work. They work in lights.
Anyway I prefer more expensive batteries, just for safe.

That looks like the usual gray-wrapping Trustfire. I use them in series on a OKR mod, but haven't been happy with them at all. I can't dry burn a coil because they will trip for over-amperage (the OKR trips at 6+ amps, which a set 14650 IMR would drive) and they don't reset until you throw them back on the charger. They don't last nearly as long as AW 2600 batteries and the voltage drop on a 1.7ohm coil @ 4.3v is over 1.2v for the set (.2v on a set of AW 2600).

I say spend the extra for the AW 2600. Consider these batteries as well. They test very well, just about as well as the AW batteries and cost half as much. If you purchased them from Amazon, they would cost around 30$ for 4, shipped. I just paid $34 shipped for two AW batteries from Lighthound, before really looking into these.

Never seen those, only the iffy blue ones and the hologram flame ones I've been using for years. I'd tread with caution.
