Enercig 26650 5200mAh EC-265HC (Blue)







Official specifications:

  • Type. Capacity: 5200 mAh

  • Weight: 94 g

  • Diameter: 26.5 mm

  • Height: 66.5 mm

  • Rated voltage: 3.6 volt

  • Max. Charge Voltage: 4.2 Volt

  • End Voltage: 3.0 Volt

  • Max. Charging current: 3.0A

  • Max. Discharge current: 3.5C 18 A with thermal fuse at 80°C

  • Max. Discharge current:15 A 3C without temperature protection 80°C

  • Protection (PCB): No




This is a high current 26650 from German











The battery has fairly constant capacity with load and the 15A rating looks fine enough, but there is some difference between the two batteries.






At 15A the temperature is warm, but still reasonable.

















Conclusion

The cell has very good performance at high current for a 26650 and the capacity is also fairly good.

Hi,

I don’t see any comments/conclusion. Is this your template for the battery?

Thanks

Most of a battery review is a template, but any text, except headings and part of the notes, must be added manually.

I had not saved the last edits, before I uploaded.

Well, the curves are almost identical to those of the LiitoKala INR26650-50A 5000mAh (Cyan).

The curves of most of the Chinese elements can be very similar to the curves “INR26650-50A” or “55A”, because this is the basic Chinese model and chemistry, which is represented by endless clones having energy reserves in the range 5000mAh-5500mAh. There is another widespread model 4300mAh (4200mAh), mainly directed to the maximum operating current. Therefore, the most important thing is to know which of the clones of these national traditions are implemented most successfully. For example, another version of 26650 with 5200mAh appeared on the market, about which it would also be interesting to know the details on its high-current operation capabilities of the VariCore V-26D 5200mAh
