TangsFire TS18350 1500mAh (White)







Official specifications:

  • Capacity: 1500mAh

  • Voltage 3.7V




Some cheap ebay cells.










The result is not that surprising, one cell is a fairly decent high current cell, the other a high capacity cell and none of them are near the rated capacity.



I forgot to attach the temp sensor on the A cell.



















Conclusion

Either cell is fairly decent, but they are definitly not the same and do not live up to the specifications.
I will rate them as bad cells.

Thanks for the review. Are there any batteries that have fire in the name besides the big Trustfire’s that are half decent?

Thanks for the review HKJ.

These look decent overall if you only use it in a single cell application. Are they cheap?

I have bought some good IMR Trustfire cells in the past.

Yes, Windyfire.

You are missing the point, two different cells mean they probably take any 18350 sized cell and put their wrapper on. This time it was two half decent cell, the next cell they use may be a very bad cell.

Yea true its like a lottery when you dont buy brand name cells. The Trustfires i have bought two different batches and they where okay.

Sometimes more than other, most brands stays with a single cell type and do not use random cells with the same wrap on all of them,
