This is not a protected cell, it has no electronics that prevent overcurrent or overcharge/-discharge. The PTC is a one-time fuse that will blow in case of a direct short, all li-ion cells from major brands have that.
(vapcell) Thanks for stating the obvious and the offer of making something happen if needed. I have never witnessed such hostility on this forum to the protected cell form factor. As folks are heaven forbid injured moving forward it will unfortunately be difficult to spotlight but not hard to explain.
Thanks for endorsing progress here Dennis. Me and others would also have liked a higher drain cell, but thanks anyway. The pricing is fair also. :THUMBS-UP:
The only 14500s I bought more than a couple years ago are installed inside a li-ion converted hair clipper LoL! :-D
I don’t know how big the 16340 market is, but I was just buying new batteries and there was not much to choose from. So I’d appreciate if there were some (new) good 16340 cells.
+1 here for the 16340s development!
I have now more 16340 flashlights that need high drain cells for them, so I will be looking for some more news about it Dennis! And when I get back to market to buy cells, your store will be on my radar for sure! Nice to have cell manufacturers/sellers on BLF
