Test/review of UltraFire 14500 750mAh (Black-red)

UltraFire 14500 750mAh (Black-red)







Official specifications:

  • Battery Capacity (Mfg Rated): 750 mAh

  • Battery Chemistry: Li-Ion

  • Battery Feature: Rechargeable

  • Battery Form Factor: BRC 14500

  • Battery Rated Voltage: 3.7 V





This is a new series of Ultrafire batteries with protection at the top.











The battery have the rated capacity and even a bit more, but it cannot deliver that much current.















The cell has a protection circuit or at least something at the front of the battery, but looking at this curve it do not look like the protection tripped. It looks more like the voltage dropped due to overload.





Conclusion

Ultrafire is usual not a good brand. These cells have the rated capacity, but are not good at delivering current and the protection is doubtful.
