LG M26 18650 2600mah 10A

Anyone use these batteries?Are good?

Good price on Alie:

Thanks!

What's up ifratos?

I also recently found this cell interesting, very affordable. Available information is scarce, so I opened this thread at the E-CigaretteForum: LG INR18650-M26 (10A) cell, overlooked?

Cheers ^:)

Yes , I bought them for $12.63 /6 batt free shipping and are OK for me but I dont have very high drain flashlight , maximum I have BLF A6 and Zanflare F1.
With Lii-500 I measured around 2550 mAh.

I’ve got two sets of 6 pack in different time frames and all had very different initial voltage. In the first set all were only 3.41V but one 3.64. Next set had more diversity with 3.64V, 3.77V, 3.90V, 3.55V, 3.82V 3.91V. All were purchased from Liitokala Direct Store at Ali.

Test after full initial charge gave me from 2418 to 2460mAh at 2A dicharged down to 2.8V. Test was made on iCharger 106B+. Dicharge curves were quite similar, but not identical. Differences were up to 0.02V for the most part of the curve compared two cells at same time. At last stage of dicharge curves were also different.

I was not impressed on quality of the cells I’ve got. I was expecting more uniformity on brand new cells (or they are not?). To cheap to be good?

Would love to see some others experience.

Fake batteries, 100%.
Real LG (or Panasonic/Sanyo/Samsung/Sony) batteries have the same voltage, for example, 3.53+–0.01 volts. All 200 pieces in a box.

maybe old battery recharge again, li-ion battery will self discharge with very very low current

Do not try to fool yourself :wink:

I’ve charged second batch to the resting voltage 3.75V. Four of them stayed at 3.74V while two of them went down to 3.70V after two days. Don’t like it.

Tested one at 5A and got 2418mAh down to 2.8V so they might well stand 10A. I don’t think fake cells would be that good. They might be some old stock distributed from pile of different batches.

No, this is normal modern Chinese fake battery. They simply learned INR-chemistry :wink:

Mine looks original and works fine but I am not expert.
If it cost at least double ,probably would have many appreciations/
