Review request for HKJ [Rechargeable Batteries]

Sanyo 4,000mAh 20700 cell:

Whoa da -- it's here! The 20700. Didn't realize. so 12A max continuous. The capacity is look'n. Guess resistance is better than GA's, not as low as a 30Q, based on it's max 12A rating. We'll see if this makes a good percentage of our lights obsolete.

I would love to test that cell, but shipping is hopeless from US to EU.

You can order it from germany, shipping to EU is 13€/20€.

Meanwhile, in the thirld world of batteries, stars like LiitoKala 26650-50A(B) seem unnoticed by the @#$%ple…
Am I the only one who is seeing an incredible amount of fuss about a new freakin' cell format? Could care less about something I don't a really have a use for.

Of course, just an opinion.

Cheers ^:)

Thanks, I have put in an order (My German was a bit stretched, even tough I live next to German I cannot handle their language)

Now I just have to live up to the rumor (At least by some CPF readers).
Who will pay for the batteries?
Who will pay me for the review?

Sorry, I am just a bit disappointed about that post on CPF (Link do not work)

What post?

I was in one of my recent battery reviews that somebody say I got most of the stuff I review for free, get paid for the reviews and make them accordingly, but he makes much more reliable reviews because he uses his own money. I could only find 3 reviews from 2016 and he copies my heading style (test/review in the title).

Maybe the link works this time: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?426727

Soo, you get stuff for free? Fine…

… get paid for the reviews? Fine…

… (insert whatever random baseless complaint)? Fine. :-)

It's our very own judgement what really makes or breaks for us.

No more drama for me is one of my singsongs.

Cheers ^:)

Got an interesting battery today:

Nice, it all went faster than I thought, so not the first year just available for cars, but straight to the single cell markets.
It is waiting now for the first flashlight using the 20700. Dale?

Really? O:)

Ouch! That was from another movie, I presume…

Mmmkay, 20700s… why? At what price? High price/value quotients mean “nothing” in my world.

On the other hand, pretty sure lots of those flashlights designed with 3×AAA adapters in mind should be able to work with this new format, at least if there's room for those 5mm of extra battery tube lenght.

Cheers ^:)

Henrik:
Anyone who has followed you through the years knows of your high integrity and professionalism through your testing. You are not bought!
We all appreciate your time, effort and money spent to test all of the electronics for all of us. Keep up the good work. And thank you. :beer:

He might the first flashlight guy with hands on a 21700 cell

But I dont see why manufactors switch to those cells before there is a market with protected cells established
Only if they want to sell their own cells with the lights to make more profit

It depends if people want to jump on a new type of batteries before they are established

Illumn has been selling them for about 2 weeks now.

HKJ, have you seen this ?
Vbatty representative wants to send you their 14500 cells.
I for one would be very interested in your review.

No, I have been busy today, but they did send a pm and I have answered that.
I do not know if they only plan on the 14500 cell or will include other cells.

Hi HKJ,

I would be interested in test results from these newest Efest 18500 cells. I noticed that they provide a bit more amps to my flashlight builds than the lila version that you tested before.

I bought them at rookwinkel.nl, and I’m not sure where else they have this version, even rookwinkel shows an older picture, I was surprised I got these. I could have two of these sent to you?
