I thought about that too, as you’ve mentioned before that you don’t test until 2.5V. However, if you extrapolate until 2.5V visually, it still doesn’t seem to have 3000 mAh. This is not the only occasion though. A good example is the Sanyo 2600 mAh that you have tested; it clearly shows that capacity is 2400 mAh, and no way it can be 2600 mAh. I suspect there has to be some kind of scientific tric/philosophy behind this phenomenon; I can’t imagine they’re just messing with us…
Edit: after checking again with the LG, it actually does seem to be feasible to have (close to) 3000 mAh. The Sanyo 2600 on the other hand…
Cyan arent produced anymore, if someone has those on stock they are old
Speaking of greens ofc, they constantly make new revisions, the last one is 12 afaik
The upper one is from the last batch
Its also 1.6grams heavier
As always, nice test HKJ,
now if only our resourceful chinese suppliers could find a was to ship li-ion cells to Europe that would be bliss.
I only managed to get 4 of this cells before new shipping regulations screwed everything.
I have to dig this out because of reasons.
I read somewhere, that the HG2 age pretty badly and that they lose capacity fairly fast compared to the 30Q.
Since GB offers them for €14.02 I would like to know if this is true or not.
I would use them in the Utorch UT03 so I need some good High Current Cells
Shipping: US $3.68 to Germany via Turkey Post
-> $19.86
meh :cry:
I’ll just wait until GB fixes their 30Q Code and buy them there. Let’s play it safe
But very interesting Store, just like the Colaier one. I read somewhere that Liitokala and Colaier are basically the same company, they just rebrand all their products to Colaier. I like the name Liitokala more.
svicar1, discerning the authenticity of a cell is more than just a matter of measuring capacity, discharge performance also matters, along with looks and shape of the cell.
While I am not going to say there's no chance to find AliExpress sellers trying to sell fake cells, certainly a bit of common sense matters. The AliExpress way of doing things encourages honest sellers, they don't see a dime until the customer has received and checked their packages. The ubiquity of customer reviews helps too.
