Max mAh for 26650 batteries?

Hi,
I know that all above 3400mAh for 18650 batteries is pure bullshit (I have the neon green Panasonic 3400mAh 18650 batteries).
But now I’ve got myself a bigger flashlight that requires 26650 batteries. What is the biggest esteemed amount of mAh of such a battery that is not pure crap ???
and is there anyone who can recommend a good one ??? (following the principle of price versus quality)
Kind regards

It depends if you want long run time or if you intend to modify the light and would prefer the higher current draw cells, also if you want a protected cell. :wink:

The Efest purple are good, 4200mah. You can also get other brands with a capacity of 5200mah, Keeppower, Evva etc.

Recently received flashlight with 26650 cell that measured 5121mAh (Opus BTC3100) which is nice considering that it is labeled to be 4000mAh :smiley:

Max for 18650 is actually around 3500mah. The Sanyo GA and LG MJ1 both have more capacity than the Panasonic NCR18650B.
Max for 26650 is at least 5300mah. The vappower 5200mah are legit 5200mah and reasonably priced.

What’s the names of and/or link for that flashlight and the 26650 5121mAh cell ?

Battery was supplied together with the free sample of OrcaTorch WR10, first thing I did is to discharge that battery and then charge it again (I think I used 1A charging current), I was surprised with those results to…

26650 5200mAh is the max capacity.
