Test/Review of Efest 18350 900mAh (Black) 2014

Efest 18350 900mAh (Black) 2014



Official specifications:

  • Brand/model: EFEST/18350 protected
  • Spec: efest18350 900mAh 3.7V
  • Material: Li-ion
  • Weight(g): 55g
  • Size(mm): 37.36(L)X18.49(D)
  • Nominal voltage 3.7V














The two cells has very different capacity, this is not very good.











On this chart the difference in performance is very obvious.
I also wonder about the protection, one battery is below 2.5 volt, before the protection activates (it is probably the low volt protection, not the over current protection).





Conclusion

One of the batteries has an acceptable performance, the other do not.
With this much difference between cells, I cannot recommend this battery.
