Understand, instead of specific and visual graphs, everything there is just words and assumptions, which may or may not be a fact.
The fact is that today there is no confidence in anything. For example, no one knows for sure if these are the current black and white 26650 banks from Shockli, what were the former red-black Shockli-5500, previously tested by the master HKJ and the results of which we all have long been familiar with? Then how can you confidently talk about something about the new models KeepPower-6000, which HKJ has not yet really tested under the same conditions as all the others?
They look to be selling genuine first brand cells. There are also some strange affairs in the “26650 Battery - OTHER” section, namely what seems to be two chinese OEM cell types (cian blue and blue wraps) and non-genuine Panasonic 26650s
It’s hard to have confidence in anything. If You have confidence in the Keeppower 6000mah is what matters. Others have said they measure the same capacity and perform exactly the same as the Shockli 5500mah. If your confidence about them is low, buy the Shockli version.
volchyonok, those oversized images mess up with the forum layout, you can reduce their size and fit them to screen by adding a {width=100%} prefix after the first exclamation mark in the insert image simple post editor code. For example:
I trust them. So if this is “the good one” I might check it out. But back on topic…
I have the black and gold lito that came with my D4S. It came from int-outdoor. It’s been killler! Charged and discharged it about 16 times already. No percieved loss of performance. I beat it down to just about 3v and charge it back to 4.2 — I think my SkyRC measured IR in the 30s.
Gearbest and Banggood are big stores and get large shipments of batteries. They only want to sell genuine cells. On rare occasions they may get fakes, but once they find this out they will stop selling them and reimburse those who got the fakes.
Aliexpress is made up of many small independent stores just like eBay. As with eBay, you have to know if the particular store your buying from carries legit cells or fakes.
I buy cells from all 3 of the above places.
NKON is another reputable foreign seller.
Since your in the USA, you have many legit stores to choose from. Illumn, Liion Wholesale, IMR and MTN Electronics. If you don’t trust the foreign sellers, then you should buy from USA stores. I plan to buy a pair of the Shockli 5500 once MTN gets them back in stock.
