Hi, I bought these batteries Shockli 26650 5500mAh (top button) a few days ago and I tested them on my 3600 lumen (each) underwater torches. Preaviously I had “common” batteries that didn’t run the cree led (3x XM-L2) at maximum capability; now the difference is clear. I am very happy for the results and I can confirm the very good drainage capacity. These is a real high current cell with very good capacity!
Many thanks to Simon (Marketing Director) for availability and professionalism shown!
Received my Shockli IMR 5500 FLAT top after about 3 or 4 weeks (to arrive in Italy from China).
They were perfectly boxed, with a double battery case and two little magnets to use them in series!
I tried them on my TC20 and worked greatly, now I’m waiting the Acebeam EC50 gen III to be back in stock and try them with it (Acebeam original 26650 battery is not good enough for a 1500 lm or more flashlight…).
P.S. I noticed that they works also in series without magnets :+1:
Capacity test of the Shockli cell I just got from MTN Electronics. Not sure if it’s the same cell as HKJ tested since the wrapper is different. Discharge current: 500 mA.
Thanks. Yeah, the older label looked more professional, IMO.
Also, the mfg stated max charging current is only 2A, so that’s only about 0.35C. Seems a bit low, given the cell’s low IR and overall capacity. Are there safety concerns about charging it at a higher rate, say 3A?
Or is the 2A rate given to maximize the cell’s life?
Foul looking chinese market wrapper, in my opinion. “IMR 30A”, incorrect and misleading.
Given that OEMs do not seem completely happy pertaining with direct consumer sales of their cells and we have to live dealing with rewrapping companies, I'd sincerely hope for at least a handful of them to give straight OEM based specifications in their wraps. The rewrapping procedure, as it is, destroys OEM information and alters its specifications. I am not willing to condone this, I fully endorse truth and honesty.
