:person_facepalming: :cry: That is dissapointing….
How long have you had yours & where did you get them?
Gearbest. Just got them yesterday. Supposed to be from China warehouse but my order shipped from Czech. Ive had some sketchy things happen with orders that went thru Czech. Mostly ending up with stuff i didnt order.
Thanks for the info Liber8… sorry for your poor luck.
Yeah my luck always sucks. I dont have a proper way to measure mine but using a measuring tape thing they appear to be about 27mm. Of course just being a mm or so thicker could cause problems and i cant measure that accurately. I guess i will see this weekend if they fit the light i ordered. If not im out 20 bucks i guess and get to wait a month for other cells.

Nah i know what you mean but i didnt want to sand the inside of the Jax tube.
Hopefully the 5200mah cells i just bought fit ok :+1:
Hi, I wakeup back
I take the measures now and comproved again, it’s 27mm :confounded:
Two of them fits very well, when that going ou of tube thats create a vacuum….
So, here some shots of fatty ones:
27mm
26,85mm
Sorry for poor quality, my benches are filled of tools and parts (work is everywhere :weary: ) its very dificult to hold and shot….
So, this is “okay”? 
Those are like all of mine Franz, right at 27 mm. I see no problem at all with those. 
I just measured all my LiitoKala 26650’s, they all (12 of them) measure right at 27mm. Maybe a very, slight tiny bit over or under… but extremely slight either way.
For all practical purposes…27mm is it for mine.
All of mine fit easily into my S70.
And like ‘bella-headlight’ said above, the reason they will not fit in the Jaxman extension tube is because there is a very slight internal lip on the very tailcap end of the extension tube.
If you don’t believe that, screw the tube off and insert the battery from the other end; it will fit just fine.
That is what I do with my 2 cell Jaxman when I use the LiitoKala 26650’s in it…. because I have not taken the time to remove the “lip” as of yet.
“To me”… this is not a big deal. It might be to some……….
But ‘Franz’, from your pictures your LiitoKala 26650’s appear very normal… not “Fat”.
Im going to try and cycle my cells to see if that helps with the capacity, maybe mine were just old and sitting around for a while? Also, I initially ran them thru my lii 500 at 1000 charge and 500 discharge I believe. Given the capacity of these cells that seemed ok. It would take forever to discharge/charge at the lower rate.
Hopefully…. that will be it ‘Liber8’. :+1:
It would be a shame if these excellent 26650’s had already been faked or the quality lessened. :cry:
Do you remember what the Voltage was when you first got them ’Liber8’?
That is what I did / do with mine on my Lii 500 also. NOR Test at 1000 mAh, I only did two cells at a time though. Slots 1 & 4.
Both at 3.8v and mr was low at 21 and 23. I ordered 4 so i still have 2 to test. Also used those slots
I measured four and they ranged from 26.5mm to 26.6mm.
Basically same as mine then. Mine were all 3.79V when I got them and all had various low mR’s too.
Do you remember about when and also where you got yours ‘sidecross’??
I bought my 12 LittoKala 26650 batteries from GearBest in 3 separate orders of 4. Orders were place from mid June to very early August.
They all came in at 3.79 Volts when I received them.
I then put them in the LiitoKala Lii 500 charger and ran a NOR Test on them two by two, using the 1000mAh setting. This is a “discharge” test.
The following are the results of the capacity test for the 12 batteries:
5101 mAh
5115 mAh
5127 mAh
5134 mAh
5190 mAh
5196 mAh
5199 mAh
5208 mAh
5238 mAh
5240 mAh
5254 mAh
5323 mAh
Gearbest specs for these says 26.6 i believe. So these 27mm ones may be different?
They were ordered July 13 from GearBest.
Mine fit in my l6 and s70 but they make a vacuum. It will still slide down the tube on its own slowly.
This is my opinion cells should be charge and discharged 2-3 times before you run a discharge test. And 2, the cells are rated for 5000 mah your charger gave 4850-4950 that’s pretty close abd the liito is going to be off a few %. Even not accounting for the margin of error at 4950 you were still sold a 5000mah battery.
Another battery for example I’ve seen friends order with me Samsung 30q. After a charge and discharge to wake tge cells. some cells showed from 2850-3100 during the following discharge. The mah is a basic guideline for the cell and not a absolute value. It maybe over or under and still be in tolerance. If they were sold as 5200 maybe be a issue. But at 4950 thats a 5000 cell.I don’t think you’ve been bamboozled in anyway.
Yeah, I think that is what it says. But it said the same thing since I ordered my first one’s back in June… it has not changed.
Personally I would not be worried about the 27mm part. I would be much, much more concerned about the capacity part.
That, to me would be an indication that something had changed.
And another thing to think about…… if someone has only two cell from one order, that may not be a fair test.
EDIT: I totally agree with what ‘Speed4goal’ said above………
Just measured the diameter of my 10 Liitokala 26650”s & with my cheap digital calipers they all came in at between 26.50mm - 26.55mm.
Now my calipers could easily be .05mm out as as I said they are a cheap plastic digital caliper (budget minded).
All 10 cells fit in my S70 easily, in fact there is a very slight amount of sideways play, no vacuum.
In my Jaxman XHP50 they would not go into the battery tube at all from the tail cap end, but would go into the tube from the other (head) end.
Now after sanding the lip with a small “flap” wheel I can just insert them from the tail cap end but there is a vacuum effect.
