Great, Manafont is where I ordered my 4 TF flame 3000mah 18650s from. Will be interested to see your results on them, and how they compare to the other 18650 I own, an AW 2600mah
Also curious to see your results on the red ultrafire second from the left, as thats what they always try to include with budget lights on eBay. That are the blue ultrafire "3000mah" unprotected ones.
HKJ, are you only testing Li-Ion 18650's? I'd LOVE to see proper review of A123 LiFePO4 18650's, considering they are claimed to be capable of 30A load.
No, manufactures and dealers has been supplying the batteries, I have not bought any new batteries the last two months (At least not for test, but I bought a pile for general use).
No, I did test the AW IMR18650 with up to 20A load. My current test rig can test with up to 30A and if I combine my testing stations, rewire and modify my script I can do 60A, but that will not happen while I have a lot of batteries to test.
At the current time I try to reduce my to do pile, i.e. the only new batteries that are added are the ones send from manufactures and dealers, I do not buy any.
