Test/review of Aspire INR18350 1300mAh (Black-yellow)

Mine just got to New York this morning. :+1:

Got my 8 in a few minutes ago. First 2 are close to being charged up, will test them in the Ti X6 I bought em for…

In the triple XHP-50.2 light these, freshly charged, yield 9660 lumens. The rested pair of dark metallic purple Efests gave 10,005 and when recharged gave 10,350. In my Titanium Quad Nichia 219 EDC I see 14.5A from the Efest 18500 cell and 10.6A from one of these brand new Aspire 18350. The 18500 is rated as a 1000mAh 15A cell, so I had hoped the Aspire at some 1200mAh and the same 15A rating might fare as well, but it doesn’t.

Hm.

So Efest 18500 is still better for max ouput sounds like. Guess I won’t be in a rush to go order these new 18350s.

Mine arrived at 11:30 this morning[Monday]. Just got around to getting my simple test done.

Delivery time:9 days to Philadelphia,PA.

Battery voltages upon arrival: 4 X 3.83V, 1X 3.67V

Discharge rate: .5Amps

Four slot Median:1140mAh-1.9% Lower than HKJ

HKJ @ .5Amps=1162mAh

I got 6 in the mail yesterday and pulled all my 18350 lights. Some are regulated well and had no change. S41 and BLF A6 ran about 0.5-1.1 amps better than the Kinoko 850’s and the Efest 700’s. So now we have a higher amp, higher capacity battery that I can only seem to order 6 at a time without outrageous shipping. Probably better this way.

I just received my set of 4 (max for reasonable shipping cost to Sweden) and after charging I put one in a S41 with 219B. It is very noticeable brighter than with any other 18350 I have tried. Very nice 18350 indeed.

Nice, mine are still in the mailsystem.

They showed up yesterday!
Nice and safe packaging BTW.

At 1100mAh and compared to a 900mAh 18350 (if they exist) that’s at least a 22% increase in capacity.
It’s like receiving a 4200mAh 18650! :partying_face:

Got two Aspires from nonsmokers.dk today. They are from different batches marked PG05 and PG06 with different barcodes. There’s a significant difference in the IR.

Good catch on the batch number!

The five cells i received from Aspire are all PG05 like the ones reviewed here.
That sharp drop to less then 4V at 1A is disturbing and does not show on the OP first post though… It would be closer to the 3A discharge curve?

Hmmm…
I got the last 4 Djozz had for sale.
3 are ‘PG06’ and 1 is ‘PG05’
I guess i’ll use the PG05 one for lower current lights then…

Would be nice to see a confirmation from another source….this might be just a better specimen.
Anyone with 2 different batches willing to test? :cowboy_hat_face:

No tester yet but I’ve received 6 two weeks ago. Batches PI01 and PH01.

Just called Jon from LiIon Wholesale. He said he should have them in stock in a week or so.

As stated by Lexel on the first page, a german vape shop has them also, currently for 4,45 Euro:

Shop seems to be only in german, shipping within germany is 3,45 Euro, seem to ship internationally for 6,95 Euro up to 1kg and 8,95 Euro up to 2kg.

And of course: thanks HKJ for your review !!!
I think I will order some of those ….

Richard should also have them at mtnelectronics any day now…

next gen. 1100ma

They don’t ship to Poland :frowning:

Or sweden… but is oookey to send them around the world.

Sense it makes none.

Hi dale, I just recently heard you had surgery. I hope all is well now.
