Test/Review of Sony US18650VTC6 3000mAh (Green)

We will Tom, sooner or later we will, have have dozen throwers vaiting for them impatiently :slight_smile:

Mooch from reddit , confirmed it can be found also as Enercig EC-C6 . It has Sony VTC6 inside .

I’m a bit curious, why it could be their last?

Sony announced they will no longer produce batteries.

I do hope they sell their technology to another Japanese cell maker…

Tesla is building and will on completion have the largest lithium battery production facility in the world outside of Reno, Nevada in the U.S.

I would expect increases in battery technology to fill an enlarging amount of products using this energy technology.

Because they are selling their battery division, I did write that at in the notes.

Yes, to Murata, as HKJ said.

thanks for the review ,nice battery ,any link to buy them ?

Whoops sorry, I didn’t notice it. :person_facepalming: But thanks for the answer!

Personally I do not think it stops.
One of the battery manufacturing companies on behalf of N.A.S.A. It is not easy to stop ……………

Personal opinion of course …….

When they sell their battery division it will be difficult to make new cells.
But the buyer will probably continue the development and probably with the same people.

Now also nkon.nl sells them , but they ara a little expensive (9.35€) . I hope shops like banggood/gearbest get them soon .

I do not disagree and in fact it is quite logical, because the company has announced some time ago, that would deal more with the construction and development of lipo batteries.
But I’ve read about some new technology from the company, which will come to market in 2020 from Sony and is far superior to the current batteries.

It is not new in fact.

Launched in 2008, but now has reached the final stage and will see it on the market as Sony since 2020.
The goal of the company is the vehicle electrification ……… of course ….

There are other companies that have already such batteries by 2015 and earlier.
Some of them have implemented up aeronautical structures.

Sony has however stated that it will take the form that we know all of us, as 18650 ………….
This is the main reason that leads me to believe that it will not stop to produce batteries with its own name.

But …………… you never know of course what makes a company this size ……….

It is one of the leading companies in this industry.
So I find that hard to stop construction of the Li-Ion 18650.

Bought 4 from nkon.nl for 6.5eur piece, cant wait to see if they are worth buying instead of 30Q because 30Q has very good price/performance ratio.

6.5 eur ?
I see they sell them for 8.45 Eur …

That price is for EU countries i guess with VAT calculated, 6.5 eur on ru.nkon.nl without VAT for non-EU countries.

Thanks for the info .

4x VTC6 shipped to the US is €31 or $34… Not bad at all! Probably a good idea to order them now before they go out of stock or counterfeit versions shows up.

It's $35.59 US on PayPal for qty 4, least for me.

They are on Alibaba now: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Factory-price-of-battery-rechargeable-for_60470551627.html?spm=a2700.7724857.0.0.ns0xzD, so just a matter of time for US and China retailers to get them, I'd think.
