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

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

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.

No, internationally accepted standard for converting SinoBogoLumens to Real American Lumens is around 3 to 1.

Sorry but wanting to know the real capacity of a GTL 18650 is like wanting to measure the horse power of a P50 micro car. You know its gonna be low before you even start, so you buy it, measure it, even risk your life with it, you get the results and yes they are as bad as you thought they might be. Poorer, older, not really any wiser, what a pointless exercise that was.

What 18650 battery with the most actual mAh can we get today? Is it “just” 3400mAh, like the Panasonic ncr B which i’ve read somebody has measured to have actual mAh as stated on it…

Yep, the NCR18650B is the highest capacity battery.

Thanks. It has a bargon price too compared to other

Seriously lets see that thing tested!!
