Hi I have a Manker e11 that I love. Came as a bundle with a 750mA orange and black "Manker" battery, that has a groove around it on the orange cathode end. It seems to be a good performing battery and I would like to buy more (no luck at Mankerlight.com). Can anybody please identify this battery? Suggestions for equivs/better would be great, too. Thanks.
It most probably comes from a generic Chinese factory, so contact Manker for more, if you’re happy with its performance.

Thanks. But somehow I doubt they will be much help with that question. Are any good batteries, actually made in China??
I meant “contact” them for more cells.
There are some quality Chinese li-ion cell manufacturers, but finding out who’s who is the tricky part.

Wait a while and they’ll be branded “UTorch”.

I have contacted Manker. Said they can only sell and ship them IN a flashlight. Not seperately. Makes me wonder how others can do it.

I’ve had good luck with the Shockli 1000mAh cells. Good pricing (4 for <$12) and arrived within 2 weeks of ordering. Not sure if there’ll be any differences going to Canada.

Thanks, but there is no such thing as a 1000mAh 14500 battery.

The Vapcell Gold was measured at 975mAh at 0.1A, that qualifies for 1000 in my book.
