Do you have interests in testing 18650 batteries ?

LOL. Bye Ryanā€¦ thanks for the pill.

Heheh

PM sent, thanks for the offer. Iā€™ll make some discharge graphs before I blow them up.

Are the cells protected?
The rated capacity also seems on the low side. Do you manufacture the cells or are they made by Sansung/LG/Panasonic?
Judging by the max rated discharge, Iā€™m also assuming the cell chemistry is ICR.

Well received your PM. Thanks.

Yes, the cells are protected which are made in China.

Damn.. sending flowers to Oversea must be expensive.. oh well time to collect donation for ryansoh3 :D

btw, before you test the batteries.. can you make another batch of HD2010 copper pills? need some for my MT-G2 mod :D

If the cells are protected, I might have a hard time torture testing them. Weā€™ll see.

I can make another batch of copper pills if thereā€™s enough interest, time for a feeler thread?

Are there anyone ? Warmly welcome your recommendation :wink:

I have a imaxB6 that can test the MAH under different loads. I also have an IR temperature gun to test batteries temperature at super high loads.
I would be happy to test them out for you.
If you plan to make other types of batteries with higher max draw, I suggest making the ā€œbutton topā€ have a wider surface area for better contact

ā€œIf the cells are protected, I might have a hard time torture testing them.ā€
You can take apart the battery cover to access the protection board and then rip it out, or tap into the B+ and B-

Yup, I might do just that, but most if not all unprotected cells will vent when overcharged (my way.)

Hopefully the protection circuit work, and if it does, Iā€™ll take it out.

The PCB are made by MOSļ¼ˆDW01 + 8205Aļ¼‰

I also like to test 18650 batteries and will be happy to test this one.
You can check a review I did of a protected sanyo cell here to check the way I do reviews.
I am not saying that I will do a better review than HKJ, but itā€™s always interesting to have two points of view.
I will test in detail the PCB (over current, over and under voltage)

I do definitely agree with that.

Another test somebody could do was to check if it fits in "all" flashlight. The lights that is most interesting to test are, of course, the lights that have most problems with battery sizes.

who is the oem of your raw cells?
and do you manufacture the chargers?
hmmm blf special brand chargers with the factory setup mode left unlocked for tweaking?

Hi Lagman, Can you send me PM your e-mail and ship address ? :wink:

Yes, the batteries are also fits 18650 flashlights. Thanks for your idea.

Good idea, I have a couple of 18650 lights and Iā€™ll test the cells in all of them.

Bella, adding a layer of shrink wrap and a protection PCB will increase the battery dimensions beyond 18mm x 65mm and may not fit all 18650 lights. Some of the higher capacity cells (Panasonic 3400mAh protected) canā€™t fit in all lights because they are either too long or too fat.

We design and manufacture the best quality of the battery PCB, and assemble the raw cells.
Keep supplying good quality and cheap price finished-batteries for customers.

3 colors of PVC means:

Red PVC : IMR High Drain Cells are made by LG, SONY, Panasonic
Black PVC:The Conventional Rated Capacity Cells are made by Samsung (2600mAh), Panasonic (3100mAh-3400mAh)
Green PVC: The Conventional Rated Capacity Cells are made in China

I could check the fit in the Convoy S3, S8 and M2. The XinTD X3 is also supposed to be a tight fit for protected cells. I can check my other lights, but I'd have to check them all because I don't know which don't typically fit long 18650 batteries because none of 18650's have protection. That's about two dozen lights so far. I've just started testing my cells using a hobby charger, but I'd hesitate to post my results unless they were similar to what the others were getting, although my first test appeared to jive well with what others were getting in that thread.

Hello Lagman,

Sorry, I have not got your PM. Could you pls send us ?

Hi , Brightken , we have some new coming batteries want to find some one can test batteries , if you have interesting , pls reply me , my email is :zoechen@basengroup,com . pls tell me your address , we will send free batteries to you for your test !

Send HKJ more than two! More cells = more data points = better testing. 4 at least :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve been on a battery buying spree and Iā€™m testing capacity for everything I buy with my new Opus BT-C3100 using the discharge test. I made a blog post with my test results which now includes a growing list of cells. But I try to buy everything I blog about off the shelf so that nobody can cherry pick the samples I get. But maybe Iā€™ll buy some.
