That is the reason many people are looking for Xtar and intl-outdoor's 3100 batteries, they uses the same cell but will probably be cheaper.
The TrustFire 3000mAh test is done and the result are up. It is a good 2500-2600 mAh battery.
Where did you buy the Trustfire 3000mA ... kai and manafont are selling these cells (manafont is cheaper)?
They are from Manafont.
Added two LG cells and AW IMR 1600 cell to the charts
@HKJ
I bring you my respect against for this great work!
I would have with pleasure a test for comparison from popular Sanyo in 2400 or 2600 mAh(red). Has somebody already tested maybe?
Greeting from Germany

The Spark battery is based on a Sanyo 2600 mAh cell. I do have more than 16 batteries left to test and some of them might also be using Sanyo cells.
no - i´m mean this Sanyo

It´s a good Price 5,90 $
sorry - i have no more Information
They are not in my test queue and I am not going the buy new batteries to test, before the queue is significant smaller.
I have bought these batteries and just have got delivered. Exact name is Sanyo UR18650FM R01122.
Are better at least around classes than my present Trustfire TR2400 grey :-)
Added 7 more batteries to the charts. I might be necessary to press F5 to update the charts.
I do still have batteries for about two months testing left.
At the start of January:
Left is "to do", middle is "testing" and right are "test done"
And today:
The to do pile is larger now!
Awesome.. already some Himax in there? :P
HKJ, are you only testing Li-Ion 18650's? I'd LOVE to see proper review of A123 LiFePO4 18650's, considering they are claimed to be capable of 30A load.
No, manufactures and dealers has been supplying the batteries, I have not bought any new batteries the last two months (At least not for test, but I bought a pile for general use).
No, I did test the AW IMR18650 with up to 20A load. My current test rig can test with up to 30A and if I combine my testing stations, rewire and modify my script I can do 60A, but that will not happen while I have a lot of batteries to test.
At the current time I try to reduce my to do pile, i.e. the only new batteries that are added are the ones send from manufactures and dealers, I do not buy any.
Somebody had a good idea on how to compare batteries and I implemented it in my full comparison.
Now it is possible to compare any tested battery at any current to any other tested battery in my 18650 test. The result looks like this:
And again, thanks for all your hard work.
This tool just made your tests even better.
The UltraFire 4000mAh and all the 18xx0 Keeppower batteries are now included, both in the above bar charts and in the full comparison on my website.
It might be necessary to press F5 to update the charts.
Added 3 Keeppower batteries: 2600, 2800 and 3000. It might be necessary to press F5 to reload the charts.
Note: for 2800 and 3000 only the 4.3 volt charging is present, to see the 4.2 volt curves use the comparator.
