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

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

Strange, indeed. I asked their support team and will let you know.

Thanks but i already got 4pcs.
No issue from aspires site.

Recently Keeppower also released their new 18350 batteries, most likely with the same cell core inside:

The price of this Keeppower IMR18350 is much cheaper than aspire’s in current Asia market, and Keeppower also provides a button-top version. I should have waited for this release…

Also their 15A protected VTC6 / 30Q (or HG2?):

And the 10A protected PLB 5500mAh 26650 (it’s so fat that they call it 27700 instead):

I cant find them… how did you get a price? Link?

I found them on Taobao, a China site similar to eBay. These new products always take some time to become available in EU/US market.
