I received my Vapcell 16340’s today. I ran a 3 amp discharge test on the icharger from fully charged. I got 638mah at 12 min and 45 secs down to 3v.
Down to 2.75v, I got 726mah at 15 min and 25 secs. This test was done at a constant discharge of 3 amps and there’s no doubt this cell will make 800mah or more at a 1 amp or less discharge.
When I started the test the voltage stayed decently high. It started at 3.7v under the load and fell rapidly to 3.6v where it slowly crept down to 3.5v after about 3 mins. The cell done very well holding around 3.5v for awhile.
We have a new 16340 King, less sag and more capacity .
Thanks Vapcell for improving on these smaller size cells. Great Job .
Analyzing chargers usually are rather bad at measuring battery internal resistance. Contact resistance is easily burdened by oxidation or debris. I also guess you meant to say mΩ instead of Ω, don't you? ;-)
XTAR Dragon VP4 plus uses probes to measure resistance and they are accurate when comparing to my fluke. I’m assuming I got old stock before they upgraded their button top welding process.
I understand vapcell Dennis, but FaintReality reports twice the internal resistance of an EBL 14500 for his Vapcell 14500. I know his figures are far from real DC resistance values but to me that means his Vapcell 14500 is likely well above 200mΩ of internal resistance. So pretty bad. Being so removing the button top and using a rotary tool with a grinding bit to gently fix the welding remnants is a wise choice.
So although the Xtar may not be 100% accurate, it is more than sufficient to use for comparison sake, which raised a red flag when comparing the Vapcell to the Efest and the cheap eBay EBL batteries.
I would remove button top and re-wrap, but these batteries are for a Sofirn SF14 V2.0 which requires button tops. I may just do it out of curiosity sake…
Vapcell fellows please correct the thread's title. “Ture rating for you on flashlight batteries,Buy the battery now to send free zipper case” is wrong for many reasons. I understand the culprit here is a language barrier, so let me help you. “Ture” is a misspelling; “batteries” are just batteries, no need to specify “for flashlights”, “for vaping mods” nor ;-) “for anal hair clippers”; the last part is the worst one, I guess what you want to mean is you send a free zipper case with each pair, don't you? Since you seem to sell your batteries in pairs this is what I would write in the title instead:
Vapcell, true rating for you on batteries. Buy now and get a free zipper case!
Interesting. What country? This is more than coincidence now.
What say ye Vapcell?
Vapcell has apparently sent me replacements too so we will see what happens but if I don’t get them soon then yeah…
Here is another test of the Vapcell 14500 with a 8x7135 driver in the meantime:
