Mangel eyes black 18650 button top BRC "3000Mah" short review

I received 4 (2 each) per new bike light. (an unexpected bonus)

My hopes not being high I put them in my LiitoKala 500 charger.

long story short, resistance is about double new good NCR 18650pf and NCR 18650pd cells.

The tested capasity is 2200 mAh +/-30 so nowhere near the stated 3000 mAh but realistically they are probably mid quality chinese 2200 mAh cells.

It looks like BRC is anouther name for ultrafire, could be wrong?

Consider they came free in a smoking deal on (Lezyne deca drive clone bike lights).

The duel “XML2” emitters and duel 18650 field replaceable cell bike lights are a superb deal. So as an unexpected bonus with great budget bike lights I was very pleased.

As a stand alone purchase I would default to a Japanese cell first.

at least you didnt get rewrapped e-waste.
anything with brc in the part number is suspect.
looks like these are a higher grade of crap.
probably ok for the headlight.
