There are quite a few 15A “high drain” protected batteries around now, based on 30Q and VTC6. It just requires more MOSFETs in the protection circuit.
Now they are shipped again with NL post.
Lowest price I've ever seen for these (blue wraps): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Liitokala-2PCS-26650-rechargeable-battery-26650A-lithium-battery-3-7V-5100mA-26650-50A-blue-Suitable-for/1000004139007.html
Only a few hours left, but sellers re-launch their sales quite often.
There's, however, wide variance in measured cell capacity even among users of the same charger:
:facepalm: and LoL! :-D with the Opus.
No comments…
There must be something wrong with that machine, I believe. 
High numbers again…
Looks normal, though user may improve his information technology equipment usage skills.
Consistent with the above Opus' figures. 
Interesting, indeed. Do you believe product quality is consistent but not so with regards to user and charger teams?
Cheers ^:)
Well, were the batteries all discharged to the exact same amount?
Are they the same 2 cells in every test?
Those are cell buyer's submitted pictures. 1st, 2nd, last and each remaining pairs from different 
users.
Albeit there's quite a discrepancy among the Lii-500 units.
Cheers :-)
P.S.: please don't quote like that. :facepalm:

7.7 usd for 2 is quite good……64 usd shipping cost to TH :person_facepalming:
A bit cheaper for me.
$56 shipping to Australia
And free shipping to Russia 
К вам завозят сразу контейнер и распродают уже внутри страны. По многим позициям такая схема работает. Хуле, рынок бездонный фактически.
Out of curiosity took a peek at the aforementioned link's feedback: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Liitokala-2PCS-26650-rechargeable-battery-26650A-lithium-battery-3-7V-5100mA-26650-50A-blue-Suitable-for/1000004139007.html AliExpress' store number 133859.
User measurement inconsistencies all over the place, at times in a wild way. Honestly, one would not expect this from a reputable cell manufacturer (Power Long Battery), so something fishy is going on 
behind the curtains. This could be because of rogue merchant dealing with and selling factory rejects, or who knows what other trickery.
Cheers ^:)
Hi! This is fake battery?
Liitokala can’t make fakes of their own brand of batteries. By definition a Liitokala branded battery sold by Liitokala isn’t a fake.
The real official fake Liitokala store is https://liitokala.aliexpress.com/store/133859
Edit: I don’t know what is real and what is fake.
Interesting…. this one says it is the ‘Official Liitikala Store’. . 
The one I posted is linked directly from Littokala’s website.
I ordered 4 of the new blue 5100mAh 26650s about a week ago. When they get here, I will check-test the capacity and internal resistance with my chargers.
HKJ hasn’t tested the 2018 blue cells yet……
No fakeness to be proved there. Their cells have been tested by Henrik here and there, delivering consistent capacity above 5Ah in any case even at 1C rate as per official PLB specs (a Lii-500 discharges at 250/500mA, which at most is 0.1C). God knows what they're doing those AE merchants besides deceiving and dissapointing customers.
Of course I do not mean to say all AliExpress sellers do the same, but the way AE works seems to be fertile ground for crooked sellers. In my opinion the whole LiitoKala battery rewrapping division smells like a nice fart. :-D
Cheers :-)
Thanks, that is good info to know!! :+1:
Need to do a ‘group buy’ to Australia, share the DHL/FedEx freight 
Seems there are many bogus stores using ‘Liitokala’ on Ali.
Be certain to visit the genuine LiitoKala Official Flagship Store
AliExpress store #133859
Claimed to be 2018 Liitokala 26650 5100mA 50A flat-top blue wrap.
Shipping used to be $57.54 to United States.
For now, shipping is $4.95 to United States.
I just ordered six here for $21.45 plus $4.95 shipping = $26.40
So, that’s about $4.40 apiece.
If you order just four, they are about $4.81 apiece here.
Pig in a poke, I do not know how good these are.

The four I ordered from store 133859 7 September are on a slow rail mail journey.
