Well I for one want to thank you for all that you do here at these forums. You have put in a lot of time and energy to do these battery tests, and you need to be recognized for your great accomplishments, I for one am so glad that you are here to be able to obtain more knowledge on the different products that are out there and which are good and which are not. Thank you again for your great contributions.
Those look like very good batteries. A little higher capacity than the Trustfire flames.
These are trustfire flames, unless you are referring to the 2400mah version?
I have two of these and two more on order. They work fine in my 3.1A XML P60 drop in, I can see why from the charts above. For under $6 shipped each, well worth it IMO!
Awesome review thanks...I ordered a set of these and have been impressed with them..I ordered 8 more to run my Dry and v60c..worth the extra dollar over stndard flames..
You do so much testing and reviewing, and yet you still publish it through so many channels!
So thank you very much for both your time and your kind and exact explanations to noobs (like me) and in depth testing. It really means a big difference to a lot of people and I am but one of them.
So, IMO, they worth those +$2 or so, especially if you want to use them in XM-L lights. Here's the comparison between old TF 2400mAh flame cell (mouse over) reviewed last year by HKJ.
The comparison is a bit misleading, because the two chars uses different scales. If you want to fix it, send me your email and I can return a 2011 chart with adjusted scale.
But there is no doubt that the new TrustFire 3000mAh is a better battery than the old 2400 mAh.
They seem good quality/consistency for the money, despite the clearly over-stated capacity claims.
The pictures of the +nipple and tailcap of the battery remind me of cells from the factory that assembles Xtar/Redilast/CK etc where I got the eX-cells done. Is there any chance these use base Sanyo 2600s in them? If they do they are very good value and we can be sure of consistency between cells, something we haven't yet seen from truly 'budget' brands.
Hehe, agreed, just used one from your last review :D (I like mouseover comparison like this, helps a ton). Send me the new link by p.m. ;) I will edit my post later. Thanks, mate.
Hmm.. Looking at your other graphs these seem like slightly higher capacity versions of the Soshine 2800's. Do you have any idea what base cell they use? The consistency between cells across currents suggests a high quality cell underneath.
Could they even use Samsung 4.35v 3000mah but not be advertised as such?
