Review request for HKJ [Rechargeable Batteries]

How about the PKcell 14500?
Seems to be more than 800 mAh and lower Ri than good old Sanyo.

You reviewed the BTY NiMH cells a few years ago as junk.

Have they or any of the other cheap NiMH sources produced anything worth buying?
They’re still really big on eBay, no surprise.

Jerommel, HKJ has answered this already:

Yes, but I wonder where that cell is, I do not remember receiving it.

I’m also curious about the 9v rechargeable that Barkutl posted above
http://www.allmaybe.com/products_detail/productId=39.html

I see the company has smoke detector instructions linked to that page.
A longer-lasting rechargeable cell for those would be handy.

It says primary battery, it is not a rechargeable battery!
I will ask Allmaybe about them, but there is shipping restriction on lithium batteries.

They where in my inbox, where I put everything I do not have time to look at when I receive it. I will start a test on them later today.

So, PKCell 14500 is already in the review queue…

How about the PKCell 18350 (IMR and ICR)?

14500 LiIon with 1.5V output. Is it just buck with stable 1.5 volts throughout the discharge?

They say 1.6 Ah and 2.4 Wh, so probably yes.

Saw the PKCELL ICR14500 review very recently, and remembered about the NICJOY cells (back in May!).

Did The Kraken sunk the slow boat they were shipped on? :-D

Fairly cheap and esteemed but, how good do they really are?

Test data have been ready for some time and they are in my internal lottery about what cell to publish next.

I am fairly low on 1.5V cells to test and have ordered them.

The NICJOY ICR14500 is probably the cell which would grab more attention here, its price is quite attractive.

As always, thanks Henrik.

Cheers :-)

I know HKJ will review them but I have bought them 3 years ago. (around 30 of aa and aaa) Some of them are still active while some of them died. Capacity seems nothing special comparing to quality alkaline 1.5V batteries that seems to last a lot longer …

Only advantage of those is that they are rcr imho so they save $.

Looking forward for review.

Sorry luminarium iaculator but, seriously? Those cells I pointed out are low self discharge NiMHs, alkalines can only do better under low drain applications.

Checked out the EBL AA 2300mAh NiMH review recently, top notch cells at an excellent price!

P.S.: pissed off right now, my smartphone screen becomes unresponsive or erratically unresponsive while plugged to a 5V 2A power supply which until now worked nicely. Very recently I used it to feed a DC-DC buck driver and I may have overloaded it, current at the emitter went up to ≈3.4A, @#$%!

A decent protected cell with high drain would certainly interest me to buy now that I have received my Q8

Keeppower has send me a pile of cells to review, but it will be a few months before I get to them, except the 18350, they will be published much sooner.

Hi HKJ,

I’m leaving these two suggestions, but also question: do you have any clue about these cells?
I’m not even sure if they worth a review, or if they were already reviewed (if so, I couldn’t find it).
Here are the links:

AWT 16340 550mAh: This product is no longer available.

MXJO IMR16340 700mAh: This product is no longer available.

Thanks and thanks for all your work :wink:

MascaratumB,

AWT IMR16340 550mAh (Yellow) @ lygte-info.dk

With regards to the MXJO, slim chance for its capacity rating to be accurate and even slimmer for its amperage one. And I do not mean to say they underspec their products, of course.

Cheers :-)
