i have some panasonic NCR18650 2900MAH protected and some ncr18650 unprotected . the protected i use them into my niteye-30 and the unprotected into the skyray king…
in the and of this year or with in Jan of 2013 i will received my Elektrolumens st90 and i don’t know what batteries to buy for this light…
as i read is a direct drive flashlight so if you add good batteries is going to more bright and better ran-times and im wondering if i buy again the PANASONIC NCR18650A 2900 protected are going to be good or is better for ncr3100A or you recommend NCR18650B 3400
i was thinking to buy again the 2900 because im happy with them and they have a very good price … but i will consider the run times of 3400 most probably will be 3400 my next order!
Where did you buy them? I’m looking for a good source of Panasonic NCR18650B cells. Any brand, protected or not, want to see the options and shops that sell them.
NCR18650A would be fine too, that’s the older 3100mAh version.
i order them from http://www.fasttech.com/ i dont know if are good or not from this shop… most of the times i order from http://www.hkequipment.net . this time i order only because of the big price difference!!! hopping to get originals!! i never had an expirience from fassttech …
Any chance they will make a 26650?
Lets say 7-8000mAh? :bigsmile:
Come on, come on, give that big bastard a little boost, they seem so underdeveloped compared to the smaller 18650 in terms of energy density, size vs capacity.
I dont think so.. there will be a 3600mAh cell first, maybe named -C, so the 4000mAh will have -D or maybe -F (-E already exists) or something else. :P
Read the plan during Panasonic release of 3400mAh this year. I didn’t keep the link(s). But it definitely mentioned mid 2013 for the 4k release and that it will use silicon electrode instead of carbon.
There has been discussion whether the change will actually increase the voltage, but if the voltage really do remain 4.2V I think that’s good news.
