I don’t think you’re right this time. The accumulators are not the same! The measured capacity is really 5000mAh. I also opened a Liitokala dispute over the Samsung 30Q. I won the dispute. I was refunded 50% of the amount paid. These batteries (versions 4000 and 5000) will not be the same. I have the original version 4000 and a new version 5000 on the way. After delivery I measure and compare them.
The above comment was really unnecessary, I am as right as I can be from this side of the story (and it can also be good to turn left LoL!). The_Fat_Controller didn't posted actual photos of his cells until half an hour ago, he just made a comment. He also didn't say if he measured capacity with a NOR test, and he should because if the cells score low that is valid evidence to win a dispute.
I’ll measure my cells. The original Lii 40 and the new Lii 50. On the Opus BT 3100, this is only an indicative measurement, but will show if there is a significant capacity difference.
That’s the same link i ordered from…. maybe my first charge result was invalid i am running Nor Test right now 115mah in… when it finishes i will post result…
Edit:
Damnn, 4 hours in still above 4v
Edit: uhhh
14 hours in 3.5v
What could these cells be? The specifications look close to that of Samsung 50E or LG M50, but looks slightly different to both. Maybe some high capacity Lishen 21700?
It is not a new system, the advantage is that many batteries sizes/capacities have the same charge/discharge limits when using C rating as long as they use the same chemistry.
Once it was very common to see 2C discharge and 0.5C charge rate for LiIon and it is still a good and fairly safe guess if the only specification you have is capacity.
