Review request for HKJ [Rechargeable Batteries]

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.

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.

Sanyo 4,000mAh 20700 cell:

Whoa da -- it's here! The 20700. Didn't realize. so 12A max continuous. The capacity is look'n. Guess resistance is better than GA's, not as low as a 30Q, based on it's max 12A rating. We'll see if this makes a good percentage of our lights obsolete.

I would love to test that cell, but shipping is hopeless from US to EU.

You can order it from germany, shipping to EU is 13€/20€.

Meanwhile, in the thirld world of batteries, stars like LiitoKala 26650-50A(B) seem unnoticed by the @#$%ple…
Am I the only one who is seeing an incredible amount of fuss about a new freakin' cell format? Could care less about something I don't a really have a use for.

Of course, just an opinion.

Cheers ^:)

Thanks, I have put in an order (My German was a bit stretched, even tough I live next to German I cannot handle their language)

Now I just have to live up to the rumor (At least by some CPF readers).
Who will pay for the batteries?
Who will pay me for the review?

Sorry, I am just a bit disappointed about that post on CPF (Link do not work)
