Test / Review: Keeppower 18650 3400mAh (Black)

Thanks HKJ! Do you know are those for sale yet? I can't find them on the website.

Maybe they are waiting until I publish this test

They are for sale if you want to buy 100pcs.. :P

Great reviews HKJ, I'll give you a cumulative "thank you". :)

Well, I didnā€™t think they would be all that much better than the 3100mAh version, I was wrong, they are quite a bit better in absolutely every regard.

+1 Thank you HKJ, much appreciated.

Another WOW cell from them :open_mouth: (well, from Panasonic :bigsmile: ) Best 18650 out there?
Thanks for the review, Henrik :wink:

Thanks very much for the excellent review! Frontpageā€™d and Stickyā€™d.

I was told by a person at Keepower that this battery is just a sample, and that it will be mass produced in about 2 months.

Great review nonetheless.

Apparently NCR18650B are in short supply just now. Iā€™ve tried a few suppliers.

Am I reading the information right? 11 amp draw before the protection circuit kicks in? If that is right, I will be getting a few of these to replace some of my IMR AWā€™s. For safetyā€™s sake.

As usual, nice review. Thanks.

That is correct, but at a continuous load it will probably trip at a lower current (Maybe around 10A).

Running a battery this much above the rated current will also reduce the lifetime significantly.

Sounds like faulty pcb, you would be better off with the bare cell.

It is not a faulty PCB, but it probably has 3 transistors. Many 2900/3100mAh batteries has the current limit at around 11A.

Kudos for the Battery Comparator, HKJ !

Hey I know these are only available in large quantities I.E. 100 pieces. I donā€™t have any need for that many batteriesā€¦ yet :frowning:

Iā€™ve made an inquiry as to price for 100 pieces.

My question to yā€™all is if I make a purchase of these batteries direct from source at 100 pieces would anybody be interested in buying excess batteries off of me. I donā€™t yet know what the cost is seing as I just sent the inquiry 5 minutes ago. But I will keep yā€™all posted.

Due to the limited availability, I would opine that you would have little difficulty getting rid of them - at a reasonable price, of course.

Depending on the price - yes.

Well it looks like I can pick up 50 or 100 pieces and sell what Iā€™m not going to use at about 8.50 a piece plus S&H and make a small amount back in my pocket. If enough of yā€™all are interested ill buy some and share the love with this new incredobat. PM me if you think youā€™d like to buy some pending a purchase from keeppower.

For that price Iā€™d be in for 4 or maybe more. :slight_smile:

Iā€™m in for 4 of them.
