LiitoKala 26650-50A 5000mah 26650 - great first impressions

For crying out loud m8, your Li500 is in a test mode not charge mode:) it could be clearly seen in the provided photo

Update!

Test/Review of LiitoKala INR 26650 5000mAh cells. from our beloved CPF fellows

Even considering cell “C” came from a different manufacturer (PLB vs Hengji Battery), the cells are well matched.

Cheers ^:)

Ha! Yeah I forgot it doesn’t charge it after testing… Thanks :slight_smile:

Will this batteries work with ROP Maglite Mod?

If you can fit a tad above 130mm of battery lenght on a 2D tube, I don't see why not.

Remember to install a 2S battery management board if under-discharge protection is required.

Cheers ^:)

Old good kind is back , the last 2 orders that i got came to be from the good old ones

I`ve tested them agains the newest Efest purple model and Li 26650 performed better with our fet dd drivers

Yet, they dont perform great with buck drivers, for instance Efest 5200 or Soshine 5500 works better with them

Ordering from Gearbest or other site?

Orders from GB? I'd order more but shipping is killing the deal now. $18.49 for shipping of 4 cells for $20.39.

But here, from your OP: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1PCS-LiitoKala-26650-50A-5000mah-26650-Li-ion-3-7v-Rechargeable-Battery-for-Flashlight-20A/32591381104.html

$6.53 each in 12 ours from now, plus $3.79 shipping. Might be best deal.

But actually still cheaper at here depending on qty. For 4, at $7.10 each, best deal.

Tom E. Regarding a post of yours I saw. How are you getting over 200kcd out of your Manker U21? If i may ask. :). I tried to read if you had modded, but couldn’t find it.

Ohh - yes, fully modded, dedomed XPL V6 0D, Narsil, FET+1 driver, springs bypassed, etc. Got ~1,700 lumens and 240 kcd. Also uses the RED LED under the switch for Narsil functionality.

Light Junkie sent me his non-working U21 (driver died) and modded it up same way but used a dedomed XPL W2 1A (AliExpress), and got 1,780 lumens and 253 kcd.

The LK is the reigning champ - best cell for this modded U21.

Wow! Yeah I figured it’d be something fancy and out of my league. :). Provide a service if i decide I get bored with my U21? :smiley:

Well its the best for all fed dd drivers, i got 6.7 amps reading w2 1a and this cell, first time to see 300k mcs from a L2 host

I order both from GB and Ali stores, late orders came same as the first ones, it seems they do supply from a same provider

Tom E, please check M4D M4X´s deals thread. There's a groovy discount code for the LiitoKalas at Banggood which, combined with the volume discounts, makes it the best deal nearly all of the times. Make it your mantra: 975e07, 975e07, 975e07…

Cheers ^:)

Can you detail their behavior with buck drivers? That’s my primary use of my Liito’s.

unknown00101, nothing new with buck drivers. Understand, please, that a buck driver can have (and usually have) a long voltage differential between input and output, making the batteries' internal resistance much less meaningful versus overall capacity. For buck drivers fed by 2S li-ions driving 2S emitters, it should be noticeable.

Cheers ^:)

Oh I see. I thought you meant something specific to the Liito cell itself.

My main attraction to these cells is the price per mAh. The low resistance is a very large cherry on top. :slight_smile:

Ahhh - I knew bout that deal before I forgot bout it (huh?), well, that's me. But thanks!!! They are not shown in stock, due Nov 16th, but still worth while getting an order in for another 4 @$19.62 shipped and don't have to use any points! Excellent deal for sure... Thanks Again!!

Whoa !!!

Could this be a picture of LiitoKala 26650 heaven???

:+1:

Where is that picture from and what is it of?

Looks like a battery test/charge bay at a factory! Wish I had that many batteries.
