Review request for HKJ [Rechargeable Batteries]

Thanks. What about claimed capacity? Remotely close to real life?

I haven't tested that myself. They are reported to achieve a slightly lower capacity figure (≈10%) than claimed. It seems you won't find a much better product than this one in this category.

Cheers ^:)

For a while now the EFEST IMR and WindyFire IMR are generally considered the best performing 14500 cells around, maybe slight advantage to the WindyFire's, plus cheap for flat or button top at $3 each. Richard at MtnE sells both, not sure where to buy overseas.

It’s strange, but has nobody asked for LiitoKala 26650 review?

Yes - I'd like to request reviews for the LiitoKala 26650 (or as sold under other brand names), and a reminder for the LG HG2.

I realize the LG HG2 was originally requested in post #4, June 2015.

I think I made the request for the LiitoKala 26650-50As some time ago. HKJ said they weren't on his list…

Besides Mooch at the E-Cigarette Forum, I don't know of any other willing and/or capable of doing a decent review of 'em. My bet is, unless HKJ changes his review policy (which may be mediated), Mooch is our only chance for now.

Cheers ^:)

My list is running fairly low, this means I am looking for new batteries to review.

These bad boys i bought mine from Fasttech so damn cheap and they perform well just a tad under my AW 14500 IMR cells but so much cheaper. i think they are the same as the Fandyfire 14500?
!

Well, these aren't exactly the same I have lying around, maybe some sort of cheaper button-top counterpart.

This is the real deal @ FT: TrustFire IMR14500 3.7V 700mAh Rechargeable Li-ion Battery (2-Pack)

Cheers ^:)

Since LiitoKala are available on GB/BG and they do cooperate with HKJ for reviews, I don't see anything insurmountable here.

I would like to see reviews on 9 volt batteries.
I have been using a 9v nimh duracell ultra for some months.
Works fine but it requires a special charger. Luckily I moved from the classical cheap 9v charger that took a day to charge, and I am using an imax B6 at 0.1A. Now the charging is quicker and I get more runtime from the instrument.

I am getting a li-ion rechargeable 9v battery, a zenter s19 9v, that should allow me to have a lot more runtime and won’t require any special charger. In the eventual reviews, I’d like to know, if possible, if this model, or any other li ion rechargeable one, can be recharged while used.

EDIT: also, I’d like to know which nimh 9v battery tipe is best for which application (8.4, 9.6, 10.8…).

There are even Li-Io 9V batteries:

But i would like to know how well the 270mAh NiMh perform.

Not a battery, but there’s an updated version of the battery fixture you also use.

https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10024652/5339401-bf-2a-4-wire-battery-charge-discharge-fixture

Seems very well done and the length adjustment is easy.

I have been ordering some 9V batteries from Conrad.
And thanks for the link to the updated battery fixture. I do not know if I will review it, but I have ordered some for my own use. I do not suppose they will melt as easily :smiley:

I will include some LiIon in my 9V reviews. Teardowns will not be included in the reviews, but may be done at a later date.
I doubt the 9V with two cells in series has balancing, but I have not going to do a few months of cycle tests.

I am sure it has been mentioned before,LG HG2 :sunglasses:

Cycle testing is easy enough to do, but it would require an extra DMM connected between the two cells to really see any unbalance and it takes a lot of time to cycle. 100 cycles on a 18650 cell is about 1 month testing time when keeping current reasonable (1A).

Has it? :smiley:
I was checking nkon today, looks like they will getting some in stock soon.

Thanks,I looked back on this thread[Page 1] and on 25th of June 2015 I mention to please review LG HG2! :wink:

Also a few others which you have since tested.
