Basen 18650 3000mAh BS186C (Black)



Official specifications:

  • Capacity: 3000mAh
  • Voltage: 3.7V

  • Charging current: Maximum 2A (1A current recommended)
  • Weight: 47±1g
  • Size: Diameter:18.22mm; Length:65.08mm



4.35 volt



This battery is a 4.35 volt battery, even though Basen does not specify it.










Very nice discharge curves up to 7A with perfect match and same capacity.















4.30 volt



Reducing the charge voltage to 4.30 volt looses about 130mAh.


















4.20 volt



At 4.20 volt the battery has about 330mAh less than at 4.35 volt.

















Conclusion

The performance is good on this battery and as usual a 4.35 volt battery gives some extra voltage during discharge.
