they should work in convoy l6 right? Hard to tell if they are flat tops or not.

They look to be ‘raised top’ and may make contact in serial, but if they don’t a small magnet between them should do.
I ordered two unprotected.

IF this is PLB 55A cell then you can get the unprotected variant for less from Shockli.

A liitokala successor?

patmurris · 2018-02-10T10:43:32.000Z

That’s with the default test setting of 500mA. Considering the Opus is known to over estimate capacity it would put those cells at about 5700/5800mAh i’d guess.

I can confirm they work in serial.

HKJ got 5841 mAh down to 2.8V from Shockli 5500 mAh. You see more down to 2.9V (that’s what I see here ). So it may actually be a different cell.

patmurris · 2018-02-11T01:39:21.000Z

I just did a quick ceiling bounce test against a few other 26650 cells i have around, using a direct drive light, and i cant measure much gain compared to a Liitokala 50A. I was hoping for a little bump…

I bought four of the protected version from NKON; all four arrived in good condition at 3.86V. Haven’t tested them yet, but there’s a Convoy BD01 due in soon

The protected version is flat top, and it’s practically dead flat, so I doubt they’d make a reliable connection in series. All of my stuff is single cell, though, so I can’t try it and report with certainty.

are they raised a bit or flat tops the protected?

This is the version I bought. The photo shows the flat top:

mortuus · 2018-02-13T08:52:37.000Z

well that photo doesnt show that great in that angle… thats why i asked its weird because the 5200mahs are raised so these arent then? as i would use them in convoy l6 they cant be flat…

Just made a rather irritating discovery with the protected 6000mAh cells: they are very wide. None of my four will go into my Convoy BD06, yet the protected 5200mAh version fits and has enough space to rattle.

Specs:

Keeppower 5200mAh protected 26650:
26.4mm × 69.5mm

Keeppower 6000mAh protected 26650:
26.8mm × 69.0mm

I was aware of the sizes before I ordered, but I’m having trouble figuring out how 0.4mm is going to make that much of a difference. However, it’s going to be a few days before I can get my hands on my digital caliper and check the measurements for myself.

Fortunately, the 6000mAh cells fit my Convoy X3, so I don’t have to send them back. I’ll just order a couple more 5200mAh cells for the BD06. I hope the BD01 I have coming in has enough clearance for the 6000mAh cells, though.

Edit: the 6000mAh cells don’t fit my BD01, either, but the 5200mAh ones are fine. I’m definitely going to need some more 5200mAh cells!

This is an expensive niche product, whereas Lii-50/INR26650-50A are for sale nearly everywhere online with a price the Lord likes. So, no way.

Also, its capacity statement is probably a sort of lie. Lots of battery rewrappers and even battery manufacturers lie about this with figures you may not see even following their particular datasheet testing methods. Seems a lot of people blindly love in lies, just not me.

Cheers ^:)

Wow. Can’t wait to see the discharge curves.

I should have read this before I ordered four protected 6000mAh’s after getting a confirmation from Nkon that these cells are under 70 mm. and make contact in series.
Received them yesterday and found out that they are too wide for my Convoy L2 and L6 :person_facepalming:
But they will go into the Imalent DN70.

The image doesn’t work.

Works for me, it’s a problem on your end then.

shame they dont even fit in l6… bah
