Hello,

I need finally 2 cases for the 18350 batteries:

And two sets of two batteries:

Would you let me know what would be the price including shipping costs?

I wasn’t too happy with how the 18350’s performed from a consistancy standpoint, although I did cause some of the problem I guess by not cycling and checking them properly.

23

Thanks for the info ZW99GT, I will not use them in series, they are for a lavatube mini, I already have a pair of them and they are good to me, the lavatube on max voltage gets 3.5A from the battery.

The only other 18350 I have had were the ones from the ( R.I.P) bestinone, and after a few months they are not holding much capacity now, so it is time for new ones efest or AW.

I’ve been happy with their 18650 IMR in my Lavatube Chrome 2.0 (2.5A I think?). I don’t have any way to produce discharge graphs, but IMO they have matched or exceeded my AW. I’m sure the 18350 will do great when used alone.

Speaking of your mini Lavatube, I think you made a great choice there. I saw where you can get the extension cap to run 18650 as well, that makes it quite a diverse device. Would you care to share the link to where you purchased it?

25

I didn’t know there were extension tubes for them, please give me a link where they are available please.

My Lava mini is the V1, it does not read ressistances, I bought it here, it is a good price being in Europe, for USA I do not know which shops would be better…

Hi Lennart,

Thank you very much for your sharing with the order method.

Yes, the efestbattery.com is a free shipping for retail link, you can just place the order there directly. The orders will be in process soon.

The other site come with minimum amount limited ( USD50.00), so if you didn’t contact with any one of our colleage when your order is less than USD50.00, then will have nobody to response. I’m sorry for this problems.

The best way to communicate with efest is email to us or Skype us.

Thank you.

What is the difference between Efest IMR16340 V2 550mAh vs Efest IMR 16340 700mAh ?

29

I think the 700mAh is a newer version (and flat top btw), I don't think HKJ has tested it yet but they 'look good'.
