AW tends to charge a lot. You can get the same quality, often the same exact cell elsewhere for less.
Efest IMR 18650 2000mah outperforms AW IMR 2000mah on HKJ’s charts.
Panasonic CGR18650CH are kind of in between Li-mn / li-ion & are suppose to be good too… If the FT forum report of one venting hasn’t turned you off them. :face_with_monocle: ![]()
For li-ion I’d go for sanyo 2600mah over panasonic. The 3400mah sounds nice but it can’t keep its voltage up.
