OK . some RCR123A insight - combining information

Ok , now some discharge results

1- Trustfire 401mAh

2- KD 90mAh [ yeah pretty much dead ]

3- Ultrafire Grey 523mAh

4- Ultrafire 880 non protected 189mAh [ not good at all ]

5- Ultrafire protected 1000 189mAh

6- Soshine not protected 502mAh

7- AW 585mAh

8- Solarforce 308mAh

9- Spiderfire 371mAh

Wow , not too many outstanding cells [ aged 2 to 3 years old ] ...

Only 3 cells are standing above the rest ...

1/ AW

2/ Ultrafire Grey protected

3/ Soshine

And to think the Ultrafires are so maligned , ok the other two deserve it , but the grey protected ones have stood up well .

So I hope this helps , anyone contemplating new cells .
