Dear Tom E ,Newlumen,Etex,Mattlward,Enderman,Smittymojo,wolfdog,Agro and use 26650 5500mah customer

Sorry to bother you. I have some question. Need your help.Thanks
Now I will sorting out which flashlight and e-cigarette models can fit the 26650 5500mah battery.so we can give some guidance for the BLF member when they buy. thanks very much, welcome to discuss.
Would you share your valuable experience that which flashlight and e-cigarette models can fit the 26650 5500mah battery.
Today Richard share the Convoy L6 can use the shockli 26650 5500mah battery .
Welcome feedback.

Yes sir. I just went over my 26650 lights with the shockli 26650 5500 mah ( button top and flat top).

Conoy l6. Button top works.
Convoy l2. Button top or flat top works.
Convoy x3. Button top or flat top works.
Fourseven mmu-x3. Button top or flat top works
Manker u21. Button top or flat top works
Lumintop sd26. Button top or flat top works
Olight rd50 seeker… button top works only. Flat top is too short.
Thrunite tc20. Button top or flat top works
Jaxman z1. Button top or flat top ok.
Lumintop odf30. Button top or flat top works.

Shockli-Simon, since you know your cell is this one, sharing size and footprint with the popular LiitoKala INR26650-50A/Lii-50A, you can also benefit from users of this later cell's reports with regards to flashlight or any other gear's suitability.

Did you mean the R50 Seeker? Self screwing up themselves, an Olight classic. Greedy lads and lasses, imho.

Cheers :-)

Yes. I edited it…

Dear Newlumen

You’ve listed 7 models of flashlights. Thanks for your information. You are enthusiastic, like a flashlight in the dark, can bring light to everyone.

Shockli-Simon - I don’t have much add to the Newlumen’s list. I’ll check with UT-02 once my batteries arrive. As Manker u21 works, this one should too.

Several posts before I asked for independent measurements of several batteries. Now I see some in Aliexpress Feedback:
Liitokala 55A: 4990, 4990, 5040, 5080, 5100, 5130, 5200, 5300, 5300, 5400, 5450, 5480, 5490, 5510, 5580, 5600, 5640, 5660, 5690, 5690, 5770, 5802, 5920
Dolidada 55A: 5570, 5650, 5710, 5760
I discarded some measurements that seemed way off (2xxx mAh…) or not legit or I just wasn’t sure.

Overall, Liitokala is all over the map. It may be that they use various cells under the wraps. Dolidada is more consistent, but it may be due to smaller sample size.

Agro, there's no official reference to a 5500mAh 26650 cell in the LiitoKala chinese website.

New single slot LiitoKala Lii-S1 charger, looks like an Lii-100 without powerbank function and a nicer display:

Cheers ^:)

Flat top works with UTorch UT02. :slight_smile:

Your welcome… i also got the thrunite tc20 today… shockli flat top and button top works perfect in this light…

I just received my Shockli from Mountain Electronics and my Xtar Dragon VP4 Plus tested it at 5,948 mah. The test current is 1A.

In comparison the Xtar 26650 5000mAh 3.6V Protected cell from BatteryJunction tested at 5,224 mah.

Here’s what I’ve found with alot of cells. They always test higher then there rated capacity. With a few exceptions. Every 20r, 25r, he2. He4, VTc 3 4 5, the 26650 liito kala cells. That I have purchased and tested. Only the hg2 abd 30q test around 2900-3000 but there typical capacity is 2900 Even the 5200 Evva cells tested at 5500 and the 4200 version was over 4500. It gives them a safety net. If you say 2000 mah cell and it test 1900 some people will complain even though the typical capacity is lower then rated capacity on some cells. It’s better to under rate your product. Like lots of businesses do. How many times have you ordered from Walmart online or another retailer and it says 2 week delivery and it arrives in 4 5 days. You are happy it arrived early. Had they said it estimated delivery is in 4 days and it takes 2 weeks your gonna be pissed. You don’t over promise to your customers. Just like we see on here especially thorfire underrated there lights. The original s70 was putting out over 4000 otf lumens but rated at what 3000 lumens Same with the vg10 and other manufacturers we have seen this with. You don’t over promise and under deliver it’s bad business. Doesn’t matter if you have 99 100%happy customers. That 1 customer who isn’t happy can cause a world of hurt to your company and sales. Bad news travels faster then good news. Shockli and all the big 4 battery makers would be stupid to switch in a lower performance cell. Look at all the flak Efest has gotten through the years for their shady practices. They know their market is mostly technology freaks with equipment to test their product. And most people test their cells when they first get them as soon as a inferior cell would be switched in it would be found as soon as that batch ships. As what happens with efest and imren rewrapped cells. With those two you might get a good cell or you might get a 10 amp or laptop cell with a wrapper saying 20 or 30 amps

Yeah, there are normal variations between batches or even individual cells and it would be bad if they sold a battery as 5900mah if half the time it doesn’t get that.
Also different devices measure the capacity slightly differently, or down to different discharge voltages, or using different discharge currents, so saying 5500 is a safe bet when it can definitely do that or more.

The PLB discharged the battery with 0.2C (1.1A).
With such a discharge, the battery delivers nearly 6000mAh (5900mAh)

The 5700 - 5800mAh, therefore, is not strange to see someone with such discharges.

But above, I saw battery measurements with Opus.
The measurements, however, were during charging.
Opus during charging measures the total current flowing from the circuit.
For the result to be right, it should be subtracted ± 300mAh.

The most accurate measurement to look at battery capacity should be made by discharging.

Hi, I bought these batteries Shockli 26650 5500mAh (top button) a few days ago and I tested them on my 3600 lumen (each) underwater torches. Preaviously I had “common” batteries that didn’t run the cree led (3x XM-L2) at maximum capability; now the difference is clear. I am very happy for the results and I can confirm the very good drainage capacity. These is a real high current cell with very good capacity!

Many thanks to Simon (Marketing Director) for availability and professionalism shown!

I can confirm that Shockli 26650 5500mAh (button top) fits in the following flashlights:

- ThruNite TC20

- Acebeam EC50 II

- Acebeam EC60

- HaikeLite SC01

- HaikeLite SC02

- Imalent DN70

- DQG Tiny 26650 III

- OnTheRoad X5

- Convoy L6

- Convoy BD06

  • KDY K5 (battery is a little too small, tailcap spring has to be stretched)

Pressfit / no fit:

- Palight Star GS1200

  • Eagle Eye X7

Received my Shockli IMR 5500 FLAT top after about 3 or 4 weeks (to arrive in Italy from China).
They were perfectly boxed, with a double battery case and two little magnets to use them in series!

I tried them on my TC20 and worked greatly, now I’m waiting the Acebeam EC50 gen III to be back in stock and try them with it (Acebeam original 26650 battery is not good enough for a 1500 lm or more flashlight…).

P.S. I noticed that they works also in series without magnets :+1:

Thanks Simon :beer:

Where are you order ? Link please.

I ordered directly from Simon, you can write him here on BLF in PM or via customer care of Shockli official page.
