Thats what I understand , the Wow was simply relabled Hi-max .. So should still be the same cell , simply by another name .
Just ordered 6 for 27.99 + 10. Thanks for the review, very interested in comparing these to my only (for now) 6 TF flames, and my "on the way" palight 3000mah's from MF.
I don't understand why 2200 mAh cells give longer runtime than 2400 cells, which also give longer time than 2600 (Using the three Xtar cells for example)
Also how do the ever popular Trustfire 'Flame' 2400's compare to the above cells?
Because its a runtime test , in a actual light , as opposed to a constant current discharge ...
So the discharge rate affects run time , if a battery has a lower discharge rate in a flashlight , its delivering lower current , and there for will run longer .
A higher discharge rate will equate to lower run time ..
So if you had two equal capacity cells : One starts at 3A and the other at 2.5A , which one will run longer ?
My brother got himself 6 of the Himax cells ...
So I borrowed one to update this thread , and I did a discharge @ 0.5A and it returned 2524mAh .
Cells were purchased about 3 weeks ago and arrived about two weeks ago ..
I'm still impressed by my Hi-Max cells. I have had several 2500+ mah readings. The 5A discharge results where also pretty impressive.
Did you see the sellers message: "This seller is currently away until October 7, 2011"
I'm sure they will be back after that.
Has anyone managed to get the seller to reply to Best offers? I'm on my 3rd and final offer with no reply.
i just brought them i did not bother with best offer as some times it takes so long to get a replie, ill test mine when they get here should be next week.
He didn't respond to my typical order of $5.00 each for a set on my last offer I made him. Usually he does pretty quick. My bet is he is either on vacation or away from his computer for a few days.
Im testing some now.
Can't wait for your results.
I just got 2 more of them in the mail today. I think I need to order a few more.
How about a special deal for forum members? ;)
I just found out that these batteries are manufactured by Samsung. Shane told me that he is selling them now and Samsung is listed as the manufacturer. Thought you guys would want to know.
thanks for the info! can you provide me with shanes ebay name? i am looking for some of these :)
Yes. protactical19
But if you just send him an email personally and pay him through his paypal account it will be cheaper.
Thanks! I just ordered 3 for my dry!:D
Any sense of whether these are as safe as the AW batteries? (I don't know if that's even a legitimate question, but people seem to stress that the premium Li ion batteries are, for some reason, safer.)
