Received the first two batteries and Lii-500 charger today and have them on the charger running a nor test at 1A.
IR for cell 1 is 23 and cell 2 is 21 during the charge and discharge phases. Cell 1 5011mAh and cell 2 5098mAh. Since the Lii-500 terminates discharge at 2.8v but typically cell specs state 2.5v the actual capacity is well above the listed 5000mAh.
I decided to order two more yesterday and using my points again the total for all four cells I’ve ordered from gearbest was $20.50 including tracking.
My second order was “scanned by X ray and returned”….well… i do hope at least GB one to arrive, it seems that declaring those as kitchen goods dont work always .
I also received a pair from gearbest. For 10$ it is a steal!
Both cells measure 5600mAh in my charger and power a FET driven XHP70 light with 8A at start!
Better then my keeppower 5200 cells!
My first 4 is in from Aliexpress, and the result on Opus 2.2 is around 5200mAh on each. So very good. Do see that others gets even higher numbers, but I did only do one test @1A
My second pair should be here in a few days since the package was processed through isc chicago three days ago. The first pair is working fine in my Convoy L5 (LD-29 driver) after swapping in a xm-l2 u3 2c, bypassing springs, foil wrapping the pill, and fabricating a copper insert to deal with tailcap contact and switch centering. Time to order some resistors to boost output current. The batteries are making + to - contact just fine in a 2s without a magnet. Fit is a bit snug but they slide in with no effort.
Got mine in today… Charged in the Liitokala Lii-100, rested 30 minutes and wow! I pulled 6.45A in my favorite pocket rocket. It is an Uniquefire UF-2200 with all springs bypassed, XM-L2 4C and a very strong driver! I am liking these batteries, my KK 26650’s could not sustain that much.
Yes m8, i allready got 8 of those and i can cleary call those the best all arround 26650 batteries in existance so far- lets hope they dont ” nuke” them as it usualy happenes
Received second pair and they’re currently in the charger under test. Ir 18 and 21 milliohms. I consider the $5/5000+mAh a real bargain. @Mitko - thanks for pointing them out. They were a nice addition to my LiIon supply.
That’s $5 each. I got 4 cells total for a bit over $20 including 2x mandatory $1.99 tracking (two separate purchases) after discounts for gearbest points.
Gearbest aint fakes,since i got Xray returned ones bought from Ali i ordered 16 aditional pcs from Gearbest, first 8 already arrived - absolutely the same as those that i boguht from Ali - ofc i cant guarantee that this wont change any time, you know how China goods are
