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 :+1: .
sounds like a great option!
and I see on page one:

The new product releases vapcell 16340 batterys with high capacity. Battery with button top , which is
more suitable for flashlight. If you are interested in review or test, please contact me by private letter. and this battery will also sell in Ali-express
I volunteer to do a real world test in my Jetbeam TCR-1, Jetbeam RRT-01, Utorch S1 Mini, Olight Ti S Mini, Novatac, and MecArmy PT-16.
Only One of those lights has built in Low Voltage Shutoff, so Im volunteering to live dangerously, and promise to tell all about it.
I applaud the arrival of this new buttontop INR offering:

I see a high current 14500. Oh yeah, finally something worthwhile in this format.

Where can I order the 10440? Can’t find them in your aliexpress shop.

Why only button top? Batteries are not manufactured that way. I know the answer and despite I can sort of accept it, it is not of my liking.
If anything a wide button top is better, providing extra contact surface.
Cheers :-)
:+1: or a Raised Flat Top like the VTC5A…
not for me
my lights with physical reverse polarity protection rings, (example Jetbeam RRT-01) dont make contact with flat tops and wide button tops.
Why dont you want to use button top?.. They work in everything, unlike flat and wide tops…

Here are the reasons behind button tops:
Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) concealing.
Lack of reverse polarity protection in devices.
I didn't say I wouldn't use button tops. I do not support the reasons behind, though.
Cheers ^:)

I have an envelope chock-full of Murata VTC5A cells, thanks for reminding me.
They're plain (not raised) flat tops without a doubt, just checked.

Thanks
Could you help me?
Why did all my pictures disappear?
I quoted links to pictures that could be displayed before.
Now it’s gone.

When I look at the source of the first post - there are image links there.
Copying a link and opening in another tab shows me image - so this is working.
However when I reload the BLF site and look at network requests - my browser tries to load the images but your server refuses to give them with error “403 Forbidden”.
I don’t know maybe your web admin added some embedding “protection”?
Anyway the issue seems to be with your image host.
Thank you very much. I uploaded photos on a different website.
Now it’s all right.

Looking at the below discharge graph, this 16340 has more capacity at 5A than at 2A? Something doesn’t sound right.
Anyway, I ordered a few from illumn to try.

The fact we cannot understand something does not make it impossible. Such phenomena can happen. For example:

In general, I’d just ignore mAh readings. Wh is a much better indicator of capacity.
My 16340 800mAh Vapcells still haven’t arrived even though I ordered them on April 4th. Once they were returned by customs and sent again.

Capacity is the whole are below the line in this graph not just the finishing point.
