BangGood got a notification from UltraFire to stop using their name, so MECO is the brand name they are using in place of UltraFire. That's the word I got from a BangGood rep. One day I noticed all UltraFire brands dropped from the BG site, so I asked. I was hoping they would bring back the UltraFire ZY-T11 clone under MECO branding, but it's not there, yet.
I sure wouldn't trust the MECO brand cells, same as not trusting UltraFire cells (real capacity, charge cycles, etc.).
Both the 3500mAh LiNiCoAl and the 3000mAh LiNiCoMn are pushed by the major brands at the moment and it would be very nice to compare GA, BL, MJ1 and 35E, as well as HG2 and 30Q with each other and its predecessors.
We all know that rewrappers often use these cells, but we never can be sure which it is and which one it will be in the future - as they are also known to bait and switch. Buying the Panasonic/Sanyo, LG or Samsung cells (from a reputable source) gives so much more value. There are only a few tests missing. Perhaps you could adapt your queue, slightly…
Well, I truly don’t mind. But as of today even dampfakkus.de does not yet cover the GA, the MJ1 and the 30Q in the range of 2-5A.
And the HG2 was only added in the last 48 hours.
dampfakkus has a big advantage compared to me, they do not test at low currents and only test one cell! This means they can do their test in one or two day(s) and not one week as I need.
Can’t thank you enough for your thorough testing. That’s why I would never ask for a change in testing procedure - but I do second TomE’s motion for a tiny little shift in the queue.
And i have to chime in on the request for HKJ to put these new cell at the top of the queue. The real original cells from Samsung, LG & Sanyo/Panasonic needs to be tested before the rewraps if they are available.
Normally it doesn’t. Pictures appear even when I’m logged out. Must be some other problem.
Edit: apparently it actually does if you’re not registered (tried in incognito mode). Not nice. Sorry. You could of course register to TLF, it’s free and doesn’t hurt
I hope it is true, we can always use a stronger 18650 cell
They are curiously heavy for a 18650 at 50g, that is even heavier than the 3600mha Panasonic at 48,5g & most 2500-2600mha is around 44-45g. Maybe they really have found some new special component…….
