These really are looking very good, lets hope you saved the best 'til last as well :)
Once you're done with these discharge tests, could you test them on an XM-L or something demanding around 3A just to see what sort of current they will produce?
These batteries will be fully tested , I just wanted to test capacity first .. [ + Review Thread once its all done - Im just posting capacity results for the data base ATM ]
At around 5 Hours discharge time @ 500mAh , this is going to take time , a lot of time , Im not sure I can fully test over the week end .
But yes Discharge capability [ current supplied ] will be part of the test , one of my better XR-E R2's , XP-G R5 , SSC P7 and XM-L ...
I also hope to do a runtime test [ in a light ] to get a performance curve . So it wont be light and fluffy . For now Im just posting the capacity results .
Discharge for capacity = From 4.2v to 3v [ under load ] , discharge stops when battery reaches 2.99v under load ...
Lets Re-cap
1/2151mAh 2/2161mA Results for the two 2200mAh Cells
1/2468mAh 2/2485mAh Results for the two 2400mAh Cells
The first Xtar 2600 built on a Sanyo 2600 has been discharged .. And much like the Sanyo I teste a little while ago Here , the capacity tested was very close ..
2433mAh for the Unprotected Sanyo , and some 2448mAh for the Xtar [ Sanyo 2600 based ] , Im currently waiting to put in the second cell , and I want to time it so it will finish a little after I get back from the Flashlight Meet tonight .
