Test/review of Shockli IMR26650 5500mAh (Black) 2017

Batteries and Chargers Rechargeable Batteries
26

I have so many batteries that have “60A” printed on the wrapper, I was curious as to how batteries would actually perform at 60A. This one charged up ok after discharging at 60A, so I suspect it has a temperature interupt device rather than a current interrupt device.
I wouldn’t go by the results from a West Mountain Radio CBA. I have three of them, but only use them for continuous current testing on NiMh batteries and ICR Li-Ion batteries up to 5A. The slew rate is far too slow for high current testing.

The ANR26650M1-B was reviewed by HKJ long ago, with his old non 4-terminal setup.

With regards to the aforementioned testing divergence:

From HKJ's review of Samsung INR21700-30T.

Mooch's graph.

There's a little voltage difference among those curves, likely caused by the associated current travel path resistance to Mooch's voltage monitoring probes. Addressed by me in his review of it.

With regards to the actual limitations of the West Mountain Radio CBA, I have no idea besides knowing Mooch's setup is highly customized and improved.

Oh! By the way, 3.2V as high discharge cutoff? This is something I've somewhat got used to hearing from the E-CigaretteForum (LoL!). In my opinion, it is a very high and inadequate value, though of course I can understand its purpose.

There's no doubt their perspective/approach in all of this battery management stuff is quite different from mine. I always (or nearly) keep my li-ions at a max voltage of 14/15 charge voltage to maximize cell lifespan. Knowing how stressful is discharging a cell at around its effective limits/ratings, my philosophy tells me it is wiser to discharge at a slightly slimmer ratio (divide max by √2 as P = I²R) in order to substantially reduce thermal stress in continuous discharge. For pulse discharging, I'd limit myself to about the continuous rating or very little more.

P.S.: yes, the ANR26650M1-B is a real high discharge champion. Good offers for it in AliExpress.

good battery
to quick charge

Any retailer shipping to EU?

Hi Agro

would you can contact our UK reseller Torchy ,he stock the 5500mah battery .his website is http://www.torchythebatteryboy.com .

i do not know if he can ship the battery to you .

31

Mailed them, thanks.

32

Unfortunately, Torchy can’t sell batteries internationally.

33

At all, or just via eBay?

Send him a Bitcoin donation, pretty sure you'd end up receiving a cells' grab bag.

LoL!

I mailed him and got a quick reply:

Hey guys, i like shockli brand, new windy fire product line, i have windy fire 18350 series light and it works great on the quad xpl hi v3. i dont know if it the battery or driver… the light doesnt step down from the 2 minutes on high.

So what?? How soon can we order the new shockli 5500 Mah?? If it take very long, i will just get the shockli 4200 mah for $8.49 each,…

36

I would like to find these in the US… anyone know where… google did not nail them down for me.

37

Email Simon @ Shockli directly, to order the 26650 5500mah.

I ordered 4, shipped on Apr 27, received them May 10 to Texas.(13 days)

Ordered them direct from Shockli / Windyfire.

Hi Newlumen

Good weekend. Thanks good feedback for shockli battery .

http://www.mtnelectronics.com have stock some shockli 26650 5500mah ,would you can contact him to check .

now the /www.mtnelectronics.com have some promotion for shockli 26650 battery ,if buy shockli 26650 battery you can get a zipper case .you can see the picture .

39

They do not show on Richard’s site… just checked again. Have been looking for it and the new Aspire daily!

40

Same… I know mtnelectronics.com. I ordered lots of unprotected 18650 from there before. They do not have 5000 or 5500 mah shockli 26650… I will keep checking this page for an update… thanks.

The Shockli zippered hard case is handy for more than just battery storage. (Note: Won’t hold both images at the same time)
Top picture= 2 @ 26650 cells
Bottom picture= Lumintop Prince Mini + Copper Tool + Windyfire 14500 battery

Hi ,Newlumen and mattlward

At the end of June ,mtnelectronics.com bought some shockli 26650 5500mah from our company ,may be he do not update 5500mah battery on his website .

i suggest you can contact him and check if he still have the shockli 26650 5500mah .

Goodweek .friends.

Hi Etex

Thank you for sharing, Now I know the shockli zipper case have some other purposes .

I have another question, how do you put the zipper case pictures uploaded to here . :person_facepalming: :frowning:
