Quality Lithium Ion rechargeable cell made in Japan
In Built Safety Circuitry
Maximum capacity and reliability
High Discharge Rate (Max 2C)
Protection Circuit (Against overcharge, over discharge, over current and short-circuit.)
4.2 volts max voltage and 3.6-3.7 volts nominal voltage
This is the next increase in battery capacity, from 3400mAh to 3600mAh, as usual with battery capacity increases it is only an small amount.
With my test conditions (Discharge to 2.8 volt), I do not get 200mAh more capacity, more like 100mAh.
The cell used can be discharged down to 2.5 volt, in my test I only discharges to 2.8 volt, i.e. I do not measure the full capacity. But then, not all lights will be able to use the full capacity.
The battery can easily deliver 7A with its 11A protection and, being good cells, the two cells does also track nicely.
Conclusion
When comparing this battery to the 3400mAh cell, the new battery has slight higher voltage and slightly higher capacity, this is not a revolution in any way, just a small improvement.
Being based on a Panasonic cell the battery is, of course, a very good battery.
It’s 208mah off the rated capacity, how can that be HKJ if it’s a supposed 3600mah, i’ll bet it’s one of those…… uh hum! “Mislabeled” ones.
Thank you for the reviews, and great info you give us, they are all always Appreciated.

Looks good, but I don’t like the brass negative end. I sometimes use Cottonpickers chargers even on the bigger cells and the brass end kills the magnetic lead connection.
Is this cell going to be available as a direct Panasonic offering in un-protected format? I’d like it for my Terminator. 4 of these would give great runtimes!
The board? Are you saying you can see the fiberglass circuit board through copper and gold? Man that’s some thin stuff!
Either way, solid gold or whatever, magnetic charger leads won’t stick. They’ll do fine in my Soshine Max though! Just don’t know if their amperage capacity will be high enough. Should do in a set of 3 for the S2200 though. I like the curves on the above charts, so I’ll find somewhere to use a few of em at the very least….
I can see the weave a bit, that can be seen on all FR4 boards more or less, depending on copper thickness, angle of light, central focus of the camera.
Yes if it's not some sort of SS plate no magnets will stick. AWs usually have some SS plates.
