GTF TR14500 2500mAh (Yellow)







Official specifications:

  • Capacity: 2500mAh




Yet another super high capacity cell from ebay, I hope nobody is surprised by the result.











Capacity is about half of a good cell and current capability is also rather low, the cell can only deliver 1A.



The cell do not get warm at any current.















Conclusion

The capacity is rated about 7 times to high, this makes the real capacity rather pathetic and the cell is also fairly limited in current.

I will rate this a bad cell.

The name is not attractive either, no direct negative meaning (glucose tolerance factor) but still…

Thanks for testing HKJ!
