Since my last note about added batteries I have added:
LG 3000mAh
AW 26000mAh
3 Orbtronic batteries: 3100, 2900, 2250 (High current)
LG 2800
PALight 3000mAh (A cheap battery)
I have also published test of TrustFire 3000mAh, the test includes batteries from 3 different manufacturers, but I have not added the result to the charts (For comparison use the comparator)
More batteries have been added:
RediLast 2600mAh (Black)
NCR18650A protected (Green)
TrustFire TF26650 5000mAh (Flame) from one more dealer (Not included in the charts).
Fenix 18650 ARB-L2 2600mAh (Black)
My stock of batteries to test is nearly exhaust (Slightly over 1 month testing remains) and I am open to suggestions about other batteries to test.
Edit:
All the batteries:
Front: Working on
Middle: In queue
Back: Done
I did see that and are already looking at cnq, but I need to find some more stuff from cnq to offset the $30 custom fee I will have to pay. Maybe one of the 26650 batteries and a 18350 battery?
And that cell is 3 weeks test time, if I do run it at all 3 voltages (4.2, 4.3 and 4.35).
Seriously awesome. I might move to the 18650 format sometimes in the future but I am concerned with security about those cells. How safe is running/charging those stuffs?
But like a lot of the cheaper equipment I am always a bit worried about the mains input, i.e. it might be a bad idea to let it run unattended. Note: This is not based on any bad experience with the i4, it is more like a general precautionary.
I made up four chargers using the cheap Li-Ion charging boards available on Ebay … Power is provided by a mini-USB socket … I soldered on leads (with magnets fitted) to attatch to the battery … These little boards stop at 4.20 volts and after a half hour or so the cell voltage drops to 4.19V or marginally less , so they do seem to actually stop charging with no trickle charge … Without modification , they charge at one amp but can be adjusted by changing the value of one resistor … They don’t look as pretty as factory-made chargers , but mine work very well.
I have a 5V 4A switch-mode PSU that I will be fitting with four USB sockets (when I have the time) and this will power up to four of these boards … I normally only charge two 18650’s at a time so it will be adequate for my needs.
Some of the boards show red for charging and blue for charge complete and some (like mine) show blue for charging and red for charge complete … It seems to depend on who is selling them … Four boards for less than £6 , plus a few magnets has given me some very cheap but very serviceable Li-Ion chargers.
I do have a question tho.. do you still have the test of the Enerpower 2600mAh with the Sanyo cell inside? Its been replaced by a Samsung cell and you have updated the test already but is it possible to keep the old test? Maybe marked as pre-2013 or something like that.
