Thanks Barkuti!!
I guess that is relevant enough, despite my great ignorance about those readings!! Hum, Iām gonna risk on the Pkell, buy 2 and hope they are nice enough to the incoming flashlight
Unless others like the āOn the Roadā are sold in any place, but I donāt think soā¦
Something for a side note. The Windyfire IMR16340 600mAh cells clearly look like the TrustFires, and it also happens that the TrustFire and Windyfire IMR14500s look and had similar performance in the reviews.
I get my batteries from Aussie eBay seller supersports600. A big more expensive than from China options, but the 3 day delivery and customer service is worth it! He is involved with Keeppower so knows his stuff! http://stores.ebay.com.au/supersports600
Max continuous discharge current is only listed as 2A though, which is too low for my liking. That said, I still have no idea what max discharge current is on the Lumintop 650mAH batteries I bought. Canāt seem to find any info in relation to this on my internet search.
I contacted Neal about the On The Road 16340 battery.
He was surprised when i said they were one of the best (high capacity and current), ad asked for some more test results.
So iām looking for test results, canāt remember where i saw reviews of that battery.
Maybe it was a Youtube review, iāll have a look in my āwatch historyā.
But i think it would be great if Neal could source those cells (either with or without the OTR wrapper).
Maybe you guys can help finding test results.
I recall seeing something on David Sunshine channel, in his review of the OTR M3! Canāt be sure (and canāt check now as Iām not on the computer)!
Yeah, thatās where i got the high capacity measurements from.
He says itās 799 mAh.
But another (more recent) review i just watched says itās 600mAh.
So now iām not so sure anymoreā¦ :person_facepalming:
Last week I sent PM to Neal asking about the same thing, about if he sells good 16340ās!
To not overload him with PMs and all that stuff, if you are in contact with him, can you take care of this and them return with some answers, please?
Iād be interested to get some good 16340s and of the OTR is one of the best, and he can arrange some, letās do it!
Yes, please tell something about those too!
I ordered a 16340 flashlight (Jaxmnve M3, on AliExpress) and wanna buy some cells. But canāt be sure if the PKCell are good or if I should try the Trustfire IMR. So, if you have some insight on those, let us know please
I received the two Lumintop 16340 batteries purchased from AliExpress as well a couple of days ago. Will pop them in my Liitokala Lii-500 charger to check capacity.
Okay, so i did a NOR test on my Lii-500 with the 4 PKcells.
Theyāre all around 700mAh, may improve a little because they were brand new.
The internal resistance guestimate of the Lii-500 are inconsistent wild guesses, so it doesnāt mean too much, but it seems these PKcells are a little better in that regard than Sanyo 14500.
I think these PKcells are similar in performance to their 14500 cells.
My M3 draws 2.28 A on āturboā (according to my UNI-T clamp meter) with a freshly charged PKcell,
with a āhalf fullā cell (3.6 Volts without load) itās 2.24 A.
with a 3.5 Volts (without load) cell itās 2.05 A on the clamp meter.
So this is where it apparently starts to suffer from the sag too much.
I will calculate the internal resistance now, iāll get back to you with that.
Thanks for the test Jerommel and the heads up on their site Barkuti!
Letās see if the PkCell and the Lumintop worth a try. It they are nice, why not?
If they are not, Windyfire may be an optionā¦or the Trustfire IMRā¦or the AWT IMRā¦or the On The Road :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming:
Unfortunately the batteries got to me first from AliExpress, even though I ordered the OTR M3 from GearBest at least a good few days before the batteries. Hopefully the M3 will turn up next week.
