Test/review of LG 18650 HA4 1300mAh (Purple)

LG 18650 HA4 1300mAh (Purple)







Official specifications:

  • Nominal capacity: 1300mAh

  • Nominal voltage: 3.70V

  • Discharge cut-off voltage: 2.75V

  • Standard charge current: 0.75A

  • Maximum charge current: 4.0A

  • Maximum discharge current: 30A

  • Peak discharge current (4sec): 52.5A



A high current low capacity tool battery.










The discharge curves are very good, then match nearly perfectly and capacity do not vary much with load, even at 30A



















Conclusion

With the low capacity is is probably a fairly old generation of tool cells, but high current performance is very good

Vapcell told me that I was missing some cells in my comparator and they would be happy to supply them.
