Sony VTC6A 3000mah,will you choose it?

VTC6 upgrade version ,the super sony vtc6a 3000mah 30A discharge current

if it not too more expensive than samsung 30Q, i will definitely buy

Depending on the price. The ones out there like VTC5A, 30Q, regular VTC6 and LGHG2 are more than good enough for most applications.

Depends on the price.
The VTC5A is already quite expensive, but they are the best high drain 18650.
So the VTC6A would be very interesting, but not if they’re more than $6 a piece.

Is there a review of this from HJK yet?

Hope it can be shipped to my country (at economy shipping rates)…

Would be wise to make a list of countries where you can actually deliver li-ion cells, just not to get our hopes up.

I regularly use the VTC6 3150 mah in high drain lights and find it excellent. I also love a reasonably sized flat top that has a slightly raised positive which works in my Haikelite MT03II and MTO7S.
I really dont see the need for more amps unless its tests out better.
Now if it was 4.35V with 15A continuos and low internal resistance, Sony would be on to something.

Pretty much no matter the price, I would take a couple. But only after seeing a review that I would trust, which would show it offering higher power than VTC5A.

It will have less voltage sag, so you can run those Haikelites on full output longer.

The VTC5A and the new VTC6A have very low internal resistance. That’s why there is little voltage sag.
But for 4.35 Volts you will need a special charger.

BTW, found the following data:

Note that the name states VTC6, but specs don’t match. Instead they match that minimal info that Trisky provided.

On paper it seems to be pretty much the same as VTC6, except lower capacity and higher voltage at the end of discharge. Which may even out.
If it’s not better I don’t see the point.

If they are shipped to Uruguay
Depending on the final price

Are these for sale? The OP doesn’t actually say. If so, what’s the price? Also, are they New or Used or New-old-stock cells? And, what countries can you ship to? And what’s shipping cost?

It's just a sample stage for the time being. I hope that a huge amount of production will be produced next year, and the price is favorable.

New and original batteries,but only some samples in stock

Absolutely… i upgraded all my 18650 to sony vtc5a and vtc6… vtc6a is even better just like a vtc5a ( extra mah)…

The biggest improvement with the vtc5A is the lower resistance and LESS HEAT!

If the vtc6A comes with lower resistance I would buy those if I need anymore high discharge cells.

Shouldn’t it be called the Murata VTC6A?

Well, with a company name as recognizable as “Sony”, you don’t just throw the name away for something nobody has ever heard of. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the name itself was the biggest selling point for the buyout. Panasonic bought the Fujitsu Eneloop business, apparently just to get ownership of the Eneloop name. Now they’re marketing their own Chinese NiMH cells under the “Eneloop” name. :person_facepalming:

Totally agreed with u :slight_smile:

I have two 4.35V chargers and really think it’s not such an issue separating 4.2V and 4.35V batteries. I have several sets of 4.35V 18650 D1 and E1 batteries I bought from MTN electronics that I run in xm-L2 lights like the Thrunite TN11SV2. With two of them in series, that Thrunite is VERY impressive.
I am starting to favor almost all of the Sony VTC offerings over say the Samsung 18650-30q. I just wish as I said above, a low internal resistance 18650 at 4.35V and somewhere over 10 amps would be a dream come true for me…
