Latest release Vapcell 21700 5600mah 12.5A battery

Grab the PayPal debit card. You can use it just like a normal debit card but it uses only your PayPal balance. It’s free to get one.

What about a powerbank? It’s just a plastic box with a few connectors. You can put more than 1 battery inside :slight_smile: If it is enough to workaround that no shipping rules

Wow, these are really 1000mAh ! :+1:

So, what are the downsides of this new Vapcell 14500 battery? Faster self discharge? Fewer cycles? Something else?

I mean, this cell offers roughly 25% more capacity than all other cells currently on the market. Why isn’t anyone else producing such cells? What’s the catch? Or is it just some new technology that just hit the market that wasn’t previously available?

Not trying to be skeptical or poke holes. Just trying to understand what allowed for this large capacity increase and if there are any downsides.

Thanks!

There was already the Soshine 900mAh 14500, also fairly new and not high-drain. I have them too and could check them in the same flashlight. HKJ has posted a test a while ago.
I think that the technology of chinese batteries is getting slowly better.

Im waiting for Chinese battery manufacturer to achieve 7000mah for 26650, so there will be a good reason to use 26650 flashlights over 21700mah flashlights. If Chinese manufacturer can make 5000mah now, hopefully we will see 7000mah 26650 very soon.

Lithium Cobalt Oxide(LiCoO2), Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (LiNiMnCoO2 or NMC), or Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide (LiNiCoAlO2)?

Thanks!

Button top version now in stock at Illumn

Good price, but illumn shipping fees usually kill the deal, unless you order at least $50 worth of stuff.

Just ordered a pair from illumn. The $3.75 shipping I can live with. I have a pair of protected Xtar 14500 arriving today from Xtar’s ebay store. Now I have a total of 6 14500 cells. Thanks for the heads up TexasToasted. :+1:

I ordered the discounted Nitecore TUP and 6 of the Vapcell 14500 cells, so my shipping was free :smiley:

Your a better consumer than I Texas Toasted. :slight_smile:

No longer to be found on AliExpress…
Was just about to order 2 pcs…

edit: Nkon sold out too…

Vapcell, I just saw HKJ’s test. Impressive results, you have raised the bar for 14500 capacity. :+1:
I’m leaving here to go order a couple of sets. :smiley:
Now bring on some improvements in the 16340 cell. :wink:

I think they only rewrap the bar actually…
I assume more will be sold with different branded wraps in the future.
(Like the 1100mAh 18350 cells first sold by Aspire)
None the less, kudo’s to Vapcell for being the first. :beer:
…and at a very affordable price too. :+1:

Yeah, they’re back on AE too now.
Probably ran out of stock quite fast.
(and no wonder)

I ordered 4 from Illumn. $3.75 shipped. I’ve tried them in the Utorch Ut01 and the Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 for a few minutes each is all. Very good so far but not enough run-time to be sure how they will do but I am optimistic. I don’t have anything that draws much over 2A so I can’t try it in higher drain devices.

Bump since new 16340 battery was added to OP without any notification

I’ve just checked AE vapcell store, because I need some 16340, but did not find any. When it will be available?

Yes! Thanks Dennis for making these 16340’s possible via Vapcell. In a quick comparison with the discontinued AW 16340 15C, I see comparable performance but with 200mAh more capacity :+1: I will certainly get me a number of these for my hotrod 16340 builds!
