Convoy’s website recommends thin 21700s that haven’t been re-labeled. Those are too big to fit in the flashlight. I’m looking for protected cells (I like to minimize complications and possible issues, but maybe today that isn’t a safety issue that concerns people anymore with modern cells?). What is a good reliable place to get LG, Samsung, Tesla, or Sony batteries? I found some sites that had Samsung ones, but they didn’t list specs. Are Nitecore’s thin or relabeled? I found one INR of theirs on a couple sites, but strangely it’s not listed on their website. I’m open to some suggestions on quality 21700 cells that don’t break my bank.
Also IMR/INR, vs regular Lithium cells? The flashlight is 6000ma at the brightest setting, but I’d like to be able to use the brightest option for as long as possible. Is their any downside to IMR’s vs regular lithiums? The only difference I can tell is standard lithiums have more energy storage.
Convoy description for the light
“I recommend LG ,samsung,tesla ,sony original 21700 battery, dont use vapcell,sofirn ,LISHEN etc. 21700 battery ,they replace the shrinkable tube of LG or samsung 21700, they are little thicker and not suitable. )”
Nah, especially since most of our lights already include the protections, the most important ones being reverse polarity protection and low voltage protection, which the S21A already includes.
So, no, there are no safety benefits, especially since you use quality light(S21A) and a high quality charger(Miboxer C4-12 Upgraded).
That makes sense. Does LG or Samsung offer some options that are protected cells for comparison? I don’t mind paying a little more for peace of mind. I just need one that isn’t re labeled or has a very thin one to fit this light it looks like.
I think I would rather have cells close to 5000mah instead of 4000mah. Otherwise I’m not seeing a big difference from my 3800mah 18650 cells. Convoy offers the S2+ in 18650 in almost the same brightness of 1800 lumens with the same LED as the 21700 option.
Do all the lithium cells have less capacity the more output they have?
