Well they did it.... A 5000mah 18650 battery!

Oh gee, I failed quite hard on that one. Shame on me :frowning:

Is this even possible?!

Those GTL brand they are claiming 2500mah on AAs or 14500s. So 5000mah doesn’t suprize me since it’s 2X the size? that store has 99.2% positive feedback and for it’s volume per month the negatives are pretty low. About 50 sad customers out of 2500 that’s pretty amazing. Funny how most of the complaints are CR123s, AA & AAAs.

100+ usd for 2 batteries ? :o

here for 27$

Buy at you own risk!

Nahhhh, more like 50 mah

LMAO!!! Now slap it on eBay and sell it for $50 with $250 in shipping.

Uh, you forgot Samsung, LG, and Sony. Their cells test at rated capacity as well, and are just as great in terms of quality and safety.

We can make our own 18650s. Let’s label them 50,000 mAh and really rake in the dough…uh, I mean Paypal disputes! lol

Wow. That seller has the lowest feedback I think I’ve seen.

I think this guy qualifies too! :bigsmile:

Has anyone measured them?

1 Lumen equals 1.7604 Fake Chinese Lumens ( FCL) .

This has the correct sense, in that you need MORE FCLs to equal 1 real lumen, becasue the FCL is a small unit.

1 Fake Chinese Lumen = 0.568 Lumen

In either direction — because it’s a series of tubes.

> means …

Well, nouns get verbed — it just happens eventually.

So for this visitor when he said he was “googled here” he’s using it to mean somethin like “directed” or “taken” or “piped” or transported” or “delivered” — why not? Noun becomes verb.

Delivered is after all what google does with your attention.

And it drops you directly into a linked page without showing you any FAQ, or welcome mat, or front page, or any clue where you’re going. Then you click around and see more ads.

Perfect, innit?

Nobody was explaining what everyone here would already know: no rechargeable battery of that type and size now for sale will possibly hold as much energy as was advertised. “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” and you won’t get that from people trying to sell you crap.

You know Sturgeon’s Law. It applies.

I measured them and the capacity is about 2200mAh.

sorry i’m a noob… but how do you measure the mAh? do you have a tool to measure them?
i actually bought these batteries 20 of them to be precise… out of 20 only 1 is bad
i tested most them are all are 8.4V maybe 2 of them is 8.2V or 8.3V after fully charged

are these good?

You use a hobby charger, the cheapest ones starts at about $25.
