Very informative! Might be game changer

VTC4/5 and/or Efest/LG but 25+ Amper - very best to advice
even if would cost a bit more but proven by time !

What's the game changer ?

Sparky it says the Sony VTC5s are 20A Cont. I wonder if this is a typo. I myself have been hoarding up the Samsung 25Rs, they were recommended as to be the best for vaping.

Thanks for the link man.
Didn't know that charging the 25r's off a cigarette lighter charger
isn't recommended. Cheers.

It is showing a LG ICR18650HB2 as a 30 amp continuous discharge battery using ICR chemistry...

Kinda makes the rest of the information somewhat suspect.

For the most part they copied the first 3 letters in the battery part number (ICR18650HB2) without realizing it's wrong in these cases. Yes, makes me wonder just how much they know too

I think it just really depends on how low you like your builds @ .5 and above I don't see the point to pay more for the green or purple's when the HE2 and 25R are workin all day for me ..have you seen the pulse rate for the 25R ?

I have tested 20 HB2 cells and they really do have excellent performance when used in mechanicals. One thing to note though is that they are very very sensitive to hard shorts. I have been accumulating as many graphs as I can of as many batteries as I can using a programmable computerized battery analyzer set up for various scenarios. I'm sorry for the short reply but if there are any particular questions I'm happy to answer as my day job keeps me from being able to put the test report together that I would like. What I have found during my battery testing is very interesting and verifies a few things people hold as true about these batteries and dispels many others.

Great stuff, there can never be too much battery testing

Please explain what you mean about the HB2 being sensitive to hard shorts. If you could compare that performance to the 25R, HE2, or any of the VTC series, that would be great.
