26800 will also discharge continuously at 25 amps. However this maybe the cell for those lights that can’s convert to 26800. Yes, the 26800 length fills my hand better.
I’d have to go dig up receipts but it would have been a US supplier…probably Illumn but maybe Liion Wholesale. They’ve been good cells. Not getting as much use over the last year since I converted most of my 26650 lights to the Queen Battery 26800 cells.
The Vapcell red 26650 5500mah tested the same as the Shockli 5500mah. They were the best 26650 in existence. Unfortunately manufacturers stopped making 26650 flashlights few years ago since 21700 cells came out. If we get a super good 26650, that would convince flashlight manufacturers and maybe other device manufacturers to start making 26650 products again.
Thrunite Catapult V6 and Lumintop ODL20C V2 also new 26650 releases. Looks like Lumintop went with 26800 for the new D3, though.
26800 is where it’s at for fat cells. It offers more than any 26650, still, although it sounds like this new 26650 may be a great general purpose choice with more capacity for replacing cells or in lights that can’t (or don’t wanna be) upgraded with longer tubes or adapters. For new lights, it makes the most sense to go with 21700 or 26800 though. In the nonflashlight world there are still plenty of devices that were designed for 26650 (and cheapie flashlights, too) so they’ll need good cells as well.
