I don’t have time to look them up right now, but I’ll try to remember where I saw them.
I think it was the 18650 from Imalent that did 15A which uses a 30Q.
Then the 20A was a 21700 5100mah from Acebeam.
Then I think there was a 26650 from Orbtronic that was 15A.
I think there were a few more and I know I wrote them in a thread, but I can’t remember where. I wish I could do a search for things I wrote across all the threads.
I’m not particularly into protected cells, but I’ll try and find the others later today if your interested.
That’s a good lead, I’ll see if I can find them based on that. I don’t use protected either but if there are some really good ones out there I wouldn’t mind having some for testing and sharing purposes. While I don’t normally have someone else using my lights it would be nice to be able to have a cell that could run em as they’re built to run and yet not be killed by someone getting over zealous.
You can , go to your account and then “my post” type in what you said or keywords under search comments and apply.
It only searches in your post and only the keywords you typed. :+1:
This was from the L6 thread. As always, just because a manufacturer says it’s battery can do 15A or 20A doesn’t necessarily make it true. I would do a search to see if they have been tested before I bought them.
Appearantly. Keep in mind that the Acebeam 5100mah 21700 is a high capacity cell, not a high drain. I’m not sure what it’s base cell is, but it’s safe to say it’s not rated for over 10A continous (it might be a Samsung INR21700-50E). The EC65 light it’s used in draws about 15A, but only for a minute or less at a time. The protection circuitry still adds a bit of extra resistance so the voltage sag is greater compared to an unprotected cell. Both of these reviews have interesting battery tests. Maukka’s EC65 review. Toobadorz EC65 review.
Note that the EC65 has single springs on each end while drawing 15A. This light could definitely use these Beryllium Copper springs!
