Hi-Max 18650

I dont know why tere’s not group buy for these here on the forum.
I bought 12pcs (2600mAh) from ebay (from that pingyi seller, something like that) for 59$ with shipment. Thats 5,25$ per cell, great price, and these cells are way better than 2400 TF flames.

Are these the way to go as a step up from Trustfire Flames?

There seems to be so many brands and deals around that I can’t keep up; I realise there are better batteries out there but these seem to be well thought of for the price. Would they be a better buy than the Tank007s from here?

With the known reputation of the HiMax why consider some new unknown brand?

Well, as someone who’s fairly new to the flashlight scene, the Tank007 cells are an unknown quantity; they may be better or worse than the HiMax and I was hoping someone with greater knowledge than myself could advise me on these and other cells.

Sometimes the best option isn’t always the one directly in front of you! :wink:

These cells are made by Samsung.

HKJ’s review of this one is indispensable :stuck_out_tongue: 8)

Looks like HiMax are the way to go then! :bigsmile:

Wait, HiMax cells are made by Samsung?

You will get it soon, I have the test data ready

Yep. I was told that by Shane who sells them. He ought to know since he buys them.
