Looks like from the graph it might be the same cell as the Efest 650mah but maybe old stock or slight difference in manufacturing.
Thanks for the testing data HKJ, very useful info. :+1:

How does one find these batteries? I can’t find them anywhere. I see the big brothers around but no 14500.

Contact Shockli directly.

Hum, sorry for the ignorance, but does this mean that these are good cells or the “old stock” possibility indicates that they are not so good? :expressionless:

Hello toehead
IF you in USA,would you can contact Mountain Electronics .

7

Do you have a store front on AliExpress? Would love to order 4 of these to be shipped to Australia if possible?

The discharge curve is almost identical until about half way through. So the battery seems to be made the same as the Efest just with less capacity or its possible older stock. I’m just guessing, could be they didn’t fill the cell up with the same amount of lithium foil.
