Yes they look decent but only the AW 15C was able to run at 5A (and thus make 1400 lumen OTF of a pocket EDC, which is completely unneccessary and a lot of fun).
I donāt know if the stock is the ārealā, but in Alibaba thereās a lot of places with them aparently!
EDIT: āyou have dialed the wrong numberā¦ā :person_facepalming: I imagined a T after āAWā, as moderator007 stated belowā¦ I gotta sleep :person_facepalming:
BTW, HKJ, for the 16340s, I believe youāll have the Sofirn 900mAh, right?
Funny enough, seeing HKJ tests of both batteries (AW and AWT linked above) measuring them on 3A and 5A, the AWT seems to hang a little better.
Am I wrong on that reading? :zipper_mouth_face:
The 15C version is labeled as 15C, and that label makes it different from the ānormalā AW 550mAh 16340 cell, no other visual differences. The batteries in the link do not have the lebel, and it is also not mentioned in the description.
I have tried to order there, but it did not work for me. I canāt remember what went wrong, it was a few months ago, probably no stock despite the listing.
I checked them again and indeed they seem to still have them in stock (for some time already because AW stopped making batteries more than a year ago because of some disaster at their facility), but including everything, to buy two of these batteries costs me 30 euroās (33 dollar), and I would still be nervous if they do not send me the non-15C version. Thanks for the link though
Thanks for HKJās hard work, I have a question for āProtected 16340 (CR123) sized batteries with a nice current output.ā,sorry i do not give you the specifications. the shockli 16340 700mah is unprotected battery.
Yup those are it. No real test with graphs or anything close. I have several high powered modded lights and I just did a simple lumen ceiling bounce test and the lumens were not too far off. And it was able to sustain the output pretty well also.
