There appears to be a new 26650 champ in the 4200mAh category. Tested by Mooch at the ecig forums:
Excerpt from his test report:
“…This is the first 26650 I’ve tested that acts like an 18650. Its internal resistance is lower than many of the good 18650’s and it held its voltage well. At 30A/100W pulsed it ran approximately 75% longer, and 0.15V-0.20V higher, than the Basen and Brillipower 4500mAh cells down to 3.2V. It doesn’t match the appearance of any other 26650 I have so I don’t know where this cell came from…”
Excerpt of a report about my findings on internal resistance for these batteries, published last wednesday 2016/09/07 here (e-cigarette-forum):
0K. Just to let you know I've done some smartass battery IR testing on the sixpack. With a LiitoKala Lii-100 charger (pumping close to 1'05A, maybe ≈1'047A, no lab equipment sorry), my standard multimeter and this mV accurate voltmeter:
Well, the voltmeter drains 10+mA (I think the eBay ad claimed 11mA). All the cells have shown 23ish mV load/no load deltas (measured with the wires under the flat top button, it shouldn't have any significant impact at this current though). The numbers look pretty good, 22-23mΩ of resistance for these cells. Clearly 20A continuous 26650 cells, with 5+Ah of capacity.
Sorry for bumping this thread, but i had ordered the same liitokala 26650 from aliexpress to use in a flashlight.
The thing is that i need to put 4x26650 bateries in serie.
After the fact of ordering and receiving these batteries i read i cannot put them into series?
Or can i with the help of something like?: Assuming a coin wont work?
Tested the jaxman connector in my Opus and Liitokala charger and did not see resistance go up http://s.aliexpress.com/qMZJ3aaq
(from AliExpress Android)
Nice thingy
But after testing the inside of my S70 and L6 tube I know the anodization is good and it is not conducting
So I choose magnet for connecting and when charging I put the magnet on the top cell before putting it in the charger so it becomes the bottom one and every charge their position changes (idk if it makes a difference it just feels good to do it like this)
I decided to use non-protected batteries that can be used in series; there are quite a few to choose from that have a positive terminal suitable for vertical series connection.
I use the Liitokala batteries in my single cell 26650 flashlights.
