Much as peeps yaps bout batts I'm surprised peeps don't publish more tests.
not to be quoted on this but i believe that when the sub kits come out, they will be able to handle flat top batteries... im not 100% on this... but they might... and if they will... looks like more sonys to be had... to share with aw's, probably an extra pair of the sony vtc5 (got one pair on the way already) need to get a spare sony 26650 50 amp batt though...
(current batteries) 2 sony vtc4s, 3 aw imr 18650 1600s, 2 panasonic 18650 pfs, 2 sony vtc5s on the way, and one sony 26650, id say if the reo will handle flat and button top with the sub kit... that ill need 3 batts another pair of sony vtc5s, and a sony 26650 (these things last FOREVER)
Efest 1600mAh 30A vs Sony VTC4 2100mAh 30A - YouTube This guy did one, they are nearly neck and neck with the vtc4 just barely ahead by an average of about .2 volts. Pretty identical, but this isn't really that thorough of a test, you need watt/time curves to really get an idea.Hmmm, was hoping that shoot out would have been between the Sony VTCs and the new eFest purples not the old reds. That would be interesting.
Moving to battery discussion.
How do you stay sane? lol just kidding, drugs are bad, except for nicotine, alcohol, and caffeineI don't know how to get high.

-Then again, there is a reason why sony is so successful jk
Are the ones on fastech legit? 2 for $10.58, what a steal! Just ordered a pair. Anyone know of it's quality. The description says 18650 Li-ion, 30 amp...

The VTC5 renders this question moot, but prior to the VTC5 this was a, if not The, reason:
For 20A applications and below the LG HE2 performed as well or better.
That's interesting, they list the LG HE2 as Li-poly?
Have you seen any data on the VTC5 yet?
I have seen some VTC5 curves from a China supplier. They appear to be better than the VTC4s across the board, and a touch better than the LG HE2 at 10A and increasing as you go up. Very close at 10A and under.
I purchased 2 vtc4s from my B&M.. After first charge I noticed what looked like liquid under the green sleeve, I called and asked about it. They said it was adhesive and not to worry.. The battery works fine, no heating. Anyone else seen this?
