Test/review of LiitoKala INR26650-50A 5000mAh (Cyan)

I ordered 4 for $19.57 plus $5.79… can someone check if they are legit? Here is a link. Thanks

Those are the “new” ones. Hopefully they will be… They should be.
If you have a charger that will check discharge capacity, check them when you get them. That will tell the story… most of it anyway. :slight_smile:

Thanks… hopefully they works great in two 26650 series. Else I may have to buy connector or solder blop…

They sell battery series connector for 26650 or 18650… about $1.07 each…

Your welcome. Maybe they will, on all the others I have some will & some won’t. No rhyme or reason to it either… just luck of the draw. :slight_smile:

That connector is what I use on the one’s that need it. Only bad thing about buying those 1 or 2 at a time is shipping kills you …… :person_facepalming:

So I bought a handful of them last time I bought and the shipping was not much more than buying one. :wink:

If you want one PM me your address and I’ll send you one. :+1:

Thank you. I will pm you when I need it… by the way, they shipped out the 4x 26650 within 24 hours from AliExpress. I will update the delivery time and battery status.

Your welcome… my pleasure.
Wait till you need it if you wish, or go ahead & let me get it in the mail for you to have when you need it. :wink:

Really looking forward to the info on the “new” LiitoKala batteries when you get them too. :+1:

In case any of you still wanna bet on the blue winning horse, take a look here: C-26650 @ Colaier Direct Sales Store

Received a couple 30Qs from them two days ago, tad slow shipping yet all good in every other respect.

Some 5500mAh 26650 did come up a few month ago (can’t remember when or where, but same baby blue wrapping) and i would have expected LiitoKala to follow up…

Testing now a pair of blues from GB i received a couple month ago. No “F1” on the first line of label.

PS: Both cells came out over 5150mAh on my Opus BT C3100 at 1A - which is known to be a tad optimistic. Those are from the last batch GB was selling a couple month ago - they are out of stock now. On their pictures the cells had only one line of text above the bar code whereas the ones i received and tested have two.

I haven’t tried them in serie.

So far they look like the real thing - whatever it is.

Just ordered a pair of these Lii-50A 26650

Got the code here: Gearbest Official Deal thread (July 8th part 2 - code still works today)
When they arrive I’ll test capacity on my Lii-500 charger/analyzer and post the results here.

Thanks for the heads-up beam0, just ordered a set of 4 and will see how they compare to the pale blue ones I already have. Good deal with the coupon, nice catch!

Yep, appreciate the tip beam0… :+1:

I got four on the way. I’ll be interested to compare them with my originals also.

It probably won’t be anytime soon though… I chose Free Shipping. :smiley:

No problem, yeah great price, hope they’re good. I finally went to order those blue ones and found out about the change over to these.
I did the standard shipping but I added the shipping insurance ($1.20) …probably should have got the 4-pack.

/\ …. :+1:

Just receive mine new ones, I can tell you that they can’t be connected in series and that they came with 3.8V in them. Put one of them for NOR test and I will post result here after finish.

Well… not quiet as good as the light blue ones it seems. But, still right at the rated capacity. :+1:

Thanks for sharing. :slight_smile:

I don’t see any problem since capacity is as it says on the battery.
The only complaint for now is that they can’t been connected in series.

I can’t get my light blue ones in series either, it is close but the top is just a bit too shallow. A very low solder blob solved it.

The same is true of the regular ones, so no change there. I just add a solder blob.

I use magnets when I need to connect in series and batteries are flat top, this is just a notice that they could make it to be connected in series like some other factories that make same things like Keeppower or Sanyo.
