A new standard in Lithium 18650 technology

Zulumoose · 2018-08-02T12:58:35.000Z

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce to you a new standard in 18650 performance.

The ULTROFITE

With a rated capacity of 4200mAh and “Re/Discharging Protection Circuit”
It remains smaller and lighter than a standard unprotected cell

Don’t be fooled by copycat cells that have “FIRE” in their names :rage:
FITE is the genuine article
and has the performance to prove it!

I am now witnessing 18650 batteries on ebay and aliexpress now with a claimed capacity of 9800mAh. Yep. No typo

9800mAh is so low.
You can get 12000mAh now

It would be cheaper for them to increase the capacity instead by dropping the m in mAh, it would save some ink.

But I guess their customers are looking for big numbers, and wouldn’t understand the significance.

Same real Mah as a Nitecore Tini :person_facepalming:

Zulumoose, how did you acquire the ULTROFITE?

I hope you didn't actually pay for it.

A friend had a cheap zoomie that this battery came with. He asked me if the battery was any good, so I popped it in the Lii 500 after a good laugh.
Zoomie was better than most, has a rotating ring to set the level of zoom, and clean white, not angry blue, but it didn’t have a brand name on it. Even had a built-in charger, but not USB, a tiny toothpick style plug with a dedicated transformer.

I recovered a set of 6 zero volt batteries for him from a laptop pull, and even though they were very old (I think 2010-2012) they recovered to 90% capacity and retained voltage for a week. So he’s happy. I asked if I could keep the Ultrofite as a curiosity.

You’re a hoot, Zulumoose!
I wonder if it’s even an 18650? If you’re feeling adventurous might be interesting to see what’s under the wrapper.

Fite the power!

Once I opened some blue generic fake capacity 18650 and it was actually 16650 with plastic tube around and it was used in battery pack before.

Thanks for the laugh! Wonder what is inside? Something like this perhaps? (Photo borrowed from this Hikelite OP)

when i saw this post it got me hopeful for some amazing new cell. At least it didn’t cost me a bunch of $$ to replace cells.
