High current 14500 cells from China.











The two cells tracks very fine up to 7A, the 10A do not looks as good.





The temperature is fairly cool even at 10A.

















Conclusion

The cells are slight overrated in capacity and current, but they have very good performance for high current 14500 cells.

Thanks for the testing!

Nice batteries with the same performance as the windyfire 14500, but I like the orange colour better :slight_smile:

Are the latest Efest imr 14500 cells in your line-up too?

Thanks for the review

No, my queue is nearly empty. I have some Keeppower and have bought a few batteries.

Thanks for one more great review HKJ! :+1:

I wonder if you have in mind to test these TF IMR14500 700mAh that seem to be decent for their price.

It is in the queue.

Is it a long one? :sunglasses:

As I wrote above it is nearly empty, with this I mean about one month testing. I do have test date for a couple of cell, i.e. it will be a few weeks more than that before everything is published.
I am looking for more batteries to add, but I will reduce my publishing rate in February or Marts, except if I get batteries from some manufacturers.

HKJ, have recent Li-Ion shipping restrictions affected your ability to receive batteries for testing?

The only issue I have seen is a few $ extra shipping fee.
