LiitoKala 26650-50A 5000mah 26650 - great first impressions

Mine fit in my S70 fine diameter wise, you can even rattle them slightly so they are not a tight fit at all ?

Could you please elaborate on that?

To me, what you said there just does not make sense at all. I am to get a couple of batteries for an XHP70 custom build, powered by a buck driver I am going to optimize. As I see it, a couple of these seems wonderfully adequate: at 4'8A maximum driving current, the Vdrop caused by an in-series couple of these will always be, at most, 0'3V, which allows the driver I am going to use (unmodded) to stay in regulation down to 7'2V or about 7'5V no load; my “optimizations” (much bigger & very low ESR inductor) should allow me to enjoy a driver overhead reduction of around 0'2V.

Cheers ^:)

Results are in from my second pair of Liitokala 26650”s :slight_smile:
Cell 1, IR during charge 20, IR during discharge 21, capacity 5104 ma
Cell 2, IR during charge 17, IR during discharge 19, capacity 5211 ma
:+1:
Good figures all round again & well matched, very very close to my first pair :slight_smile:
First pair were from Aliexpress & second pair were from GearBest.

Do these “sag” under 5a load?

Vsag = I × Rbatt

Since people is reporting low IR values (20 - 30ish mΩ), sag complaints are unlikely to arise.

Seem to be awesome cells, yet I'll refrain from ringing the bells too early, at least until I can see some properly obtained IR figures, HKJ or other reputable techie test them, and or I can make some tests on them (not soon).

Cheers ^:)

Received the first two batteries and Lii-500 charger today and have them on the charger running a nor test at 1A.

IR for cell 1 is 23 and cell 2 is 21 during the charge and discharge phases. Cell 1 5011mAh and cell 2 5098mAh. Since the Lii-500 terminates discharge at 2.8v but typically cell specs state 2.5v the actual capacity is well above the listed 5000mAh.

I decided to order two more yesterday and using my points again the total for all four cells I’ve ordered from gearbest was $20.50 including tracking.

I suspect it’s an abbreviation for ‘normal’ since there’s also a fast test.

Abbreviations for ‘normal’

Whatever “nor test” is meant to be, the charger does a normal test when set to “nor”. :wink:

My second order was “scanned by X ray and returned”….well… i do hope at least GB one to arrive, it seems that declaring those as kitchen goods dont work always .

X ray FTW

I also received a pair from gearbest. For 10$ it is a steal!
Both cells measure 5600mAh in my charger and power a FET driven XHP70 light with 8A at start!
Better then my keeppower 5200 cells!

My first 4 is in from Aliexpress, and the result on Opus 2.2 is around 5200mAh on each. So very good. Do see that others gets even higher numbers, but I did only do one test @1A

My second pair should be here in a few days since the package was processed through isc chicago three days ago. The first pair is working fine in my Convoy L5 (LD-29 driver) after swapping in a xm-l2 u3 2c, bypassing springs, foil wrapping the pill, and fabricating a copper insert to deal with tailcap contact and switch centering. Time to order some resistors to boost output current. The batteries are making + to - contact just fine in a 2s without a magnet. Fit is a bit snug but they slide in with no effort.

Got mine in today… Charged in the Liitokala Lii-100, rested 30 minutes and wow! I pulled 6.45A in my favorite pocket rocket. It is an Uniquefire UF-2200 with all springs bypassed, XM-L2 4C and a very strong driver! I am liking these batteries, my KK 26650’s could not sustain that much.

Yes m8, i allready got 8 of those and i can cleary call those the best all arround 26650 batteries in existance so far- lets hope they dont ” nuke” them as it usualy happenes

Received second pair and they’re currently in the charger under test. Ir 18 and 21 milliohms. I consider the $5/5000+mAh a real bargain. @Mitko - thanks for pointing them out. They were a nice addition to my LiIon supply.

5$?
It shows 9.20$ for me!

Gearbest still selling it @ $5.36/pc.
I got mine from them 2 weeks ago. Good deal

$9.xx will get you a Keeppower Black :smiley:

That’s $5 each. I got 4 cells total for a bit over $20 including 2x mandatory $1.99 tracking (two separate purchases) after discounts for gearbest points.

Thanks for the info, I was looking on aliexpress :slight_smile:
I see they have discount: 4 pcs = $19.99, I am tempted!
