As always, nice test HKJ,
now if only our resourceful chinese suppliers could find a was to ship li-ion cells to Europe that would be bliss.
I only managed to get 4 of this cells before new shipping regulations screwed everything.
I have to dig this out because of reasons.
I read somewhere, that the HG2 age pretty badly and that they lose capacity fairly fast compared to the 30Q.
Since GB offers them for ā¬14.02 I would like to know if this is true or not.
I would use them in the Utorch UT03 so I need some good High Current Cells

Can buy a 4-pack of INR18650-30Qs for āā¬14. 
Shipping: US $3.68 to Germany via Turkey Post
-> $19.86
meh :cry:
Iāll just wait until GB fixes their 30Q Code and buy them there. Letās play it safe 
But very interesting Store, just like the Colaier one. I read somewhere that Liitokala and Colaier are basically the same company, they just rebrand all their products to Colaier. I like the name Liitokala more.
Recently I received a pack of 4 30Q and they were all charged at 3.41 volts.
Were they old stock or stored incorrectly?
Helo to all
Did someone tested batteries from Liitokala aliexpress shop. They say that bateries are genuineā¦
Are realy genuine?? reated capacity??
svicar1, discerning the authenticity of a cell is more than just a matter of measuring capacity, discharge performance also matters, along with looks and shape of the cell.
While I am not going to say there's no chance to find AliExpress sellers trying to sell fake cells, certainly a bit of common sense matters. The AliExpress way of doing things encourages honest sellers, they don't see a dime until the customer has received and checked their packages. The ubiquity of customer reviews helps too.
Got a pair of 30Q cells from what was known as the Colaier Direct Sales Store months ago. Flawless performance in a Sofirn C8T FET flashlight.
Cheers 
I only ask if someone tested some liitokala batteries that are rated as 100% original LG or Samsung or Sanyo or Panasonicā¦If this store is trustableā¦
Just checked them out. They are selling a set of 5 30Qs for $20, only $57 shipping to S.A.
Signā¦ā¦
In regards to this LGHG2.I am not impressed at all. I have had two of them. One of them was 15 months old and the capacity dropped to under 2400 mAh. In addition it got so hot on the charger that I decided to recycle it. Iām not home or I would post the photo from my opus. My VTC5 which was a year older and had many more Cycles actually had more capacity.
The VTC6 ended up losing the most capacity in Mooch's accelerated aging test. What a shame is, in my opinion, to pay a price premium and perform like the worst (or worse) after a few months.
Samdung
is my price/quality choice (Power Dong 
Battery too). :-D
Yes Samsung INR 30 Q is the best in long term use.
Personally Iām not convinced. Charging with 4A is not exactly standard procedure. Surely this āacceleratesā wear, but does not necessarily result in a realistic comparison of different cells. Perhaps with a normal 0.5A or 1A charge rate the VTC6 may have maintained more capacity than other cells. We also donāt know what will happen after 50 cycles. Perhaps the VTC6 stabilises more than the other cells.
Of course, Iād rather see better performance of the VTC6 myself the way the test was conducted, but like I said, Iām not convinced to make a final judgment.
Yes it was. I did a simple capacity test along with voltage loss after rest.
Very nice test Wolfdog.
Barkuti do not underestimate power of Power Dong battery.
Glad you liked it. A simple test with some merit.
I am actually surprised you were able to view it. For more than a year now CPF is dreadfully slow just as much if not more than running normally.
Can not log in now,SERVICE ERROR 503!! I do not get it,how hard is it to fix or change servers?
While I appreciate what is published in CPF, two times in my life I've been banned from such forum, the last one in a pretty outrageous way. Until the people in charge there fix their Nazi class intolerance, I'm not gonna bother with them anymore.
May they allow their minds to be fixed.
Cheers :-)
You got banned twice?!! They let you back after the First time?!! LOL! 
Nah, I re-registered.
Cheers :-)
