Test / Review: TrustFire 14500 900mAh (Blue) LC

TrustFire 14500 900mAh (Blue) LC



Official specifications:

  • Shell material: steel
  • Rated voltage: 3.7V
  • Internal resistance: <= 100 milli ohm
  • Low voltage cut off: 2.75V
  • Over charge voltage cut off: 4.2V
  • Maximum charge current: 1.5C
  • Maximum discharge current: 1.5C
  • Diameter: 14.0 +/- 0.5mm
  • Height: 51.5 +/- 0.5mm
  • Environmental temperature (operating): 0~45'C
  • Environmental temperature (charging): -20~60'C





As expected the capacity is lower than rated.











The batteries can easily handle a 1A load, but due to capacity differences they are not suited for usage in series.















Conclusion

These batteries has better performance, than last time I tested them, but I will still rate them as acceptable for a cheap battery.

Thanks for the test!

Thank you for the time and effort to test and report. Very good information.

Greatly appreciate all the valuable info. :slight_smile:

I wonder if they have improved any or if they tested better just because of the random nature of their quality.

Thanks a lot for the review! Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.
