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

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.

Glenn

Yes Glenn, I now have a Titanium plate with 6 Titanium screws holding my neck together at 3 vertebrate. Still in the cervical collar, a month today. Ready to get out to the lathe but have to wait til Aug 2 for some Dr. clearance. ugh.

(I’m tinkering, Dr.’s orders or no, you know how it is… :wink: )

Wow Dale. That sounds like a major ordeal. Sorry to hear about that. Glad to hear you’re on the mend.

My newest batch straight from Aspire has the cells marked as 1100mAh. Batch code QA01.

Can’t wait to get my hands a few. I checked both Mountain Electronics and LiIon Wholesale. They both don’t have them listed yet.

I got PI01 1300mAh batch, tested 1166 at 1A discharge.

The QA01 curves are closer to each other, but one of them is clearly worse, one better. The internal resistance sits between the PG05 and PG06 on all of them.

  1. 1175 mAh / 4.18 Wh
  2. 1169 mAh / 4.22 Wh
  3. 1174 mAh / 4.27 Wh
  4. 1122 mAh / 3.90 Wh
  5. 1215 mAh / 4.30 Wh

edit: added one more cell
