Awesome, how do they perform?
They’ve been great. I run ’em to about 3.5V at 5A all the time.
I was going to ask who makes the P42 21700’s but I did some searching and found Vapecell had P42 which they claim are re-wrapped Molicell 30A 4200mAh cells. I got 2 for about $15au each. I’ve only spent around $200 in 2 days on damn batteries. :person_facepalming: Thanks. Now I only need 8x 18650’s & I’m done, then all my lights will have cells.
Nice. I think you’ll be happy with the P42A. More runtime and nearly identical performance to the 40T.
IDK. I’m just using a noname one from Aliexpress… hehe
P42A is excellent. I switched when the VTC6A became unavailable. At about $5 / each its quite a battery.
Yeah I think so, I’m not that great at working out my lights exact requirements. I mean there ain’t no point having a 35A low mAh cell to be used in a light that will maximum draw 10A. But some of these new single cell sbt90.2 really suck amps, Lumintop recconends a cell that is constant current 30A for the fw21x9l. Choosing cells for short tube lights is a little tricky. Like say the A/lux EA01s 4xXHP50.2 11k lm. Now what 26350 is gonna power that? While not a real useful sustainable light, it’d be a fun ‘wow’ light.
The 26350 only delivers maybe 10 amps. Turbo in the ft02s (probably same driver) is a bonafide 30+ amps (I tested it), so it won’t reach max brightness. Might get 3000 lumens out of it.
Dunno why everyone is wasting their time - look at Enderman's post - the best 21700 cell is the Vapcell T50 which is a Samsung 50S.
Not say'n they are easy to get, but the title of this thread has only one answer.
Part of the reason I created this post is because those are nowhere to be found and was looking for a substitute. The T50 were a limited run for Vapcell and currently they’re about impossible to get. Samsung 50S are also nowhere to be found. The 50G is almost as good and can still be found (at least for now).
I wonder how the Tesla’s stack up charged to 4.1V. I’d bet they don’t charge beyond that in the cars…
EDIT: Just checked the mail. They arrived. I’ll do some tests to see how balanced they are.
You may want to consider Orbtronic. From what I hear they are “A” grade.
Mooch tested them, they’re better than the 50E but worse than the 50G and 50S.
If they were brand new then maybe they would be able to compete with the 50G, but not likely to beat the 50S.
The 50G is probably the best one available now. Runners up are the 50E2/3 (but not really available) and the Tesla Sanyo NCR21700A. The rest are not as good for over 10 amps. Either wait until the 50S is available (wishful thinking) or Vapcell gets some and charges $16 per cell.
Liionwholesale has a house 21700 that are E2s
Man, Liionwholesale is sold out of almost everything.
Where is the demand from ? It cant be from vapers and flashaholics.

Manufacturing slowdown from the pandemic, supply and demand.
50G's can't compare. I bought a pair of the T50's twice from their Ali store, just wish I bought more.
As does everyone
