Well I finally got my Hi-max 18650 2600mAh cells in today and i'm a happy camper They they ended up being about 50-150mah better than my xtar 2600 cells! They ended up going 2502mah. Not to bad for a $6 battery (shipping included) Thanks 4570 for recommending these. Test was done using a Imax B6 clone 1A discharge and 3v cutoff.
They didn't seem too absolutely in a rush to ship them out, it's been 6 days and I still don't have a tracking number. They are estimating a 21-30 day shipping time in their ad.
Those spec out really good, Even my fresh new TF Flames from DX could only muster 2250-2300mAH when run to only 3v. And good to see you only pushed the cells to 3v as i find it a much better real world number than 2.5v many people will run their cells down too so they can try and meet the specs.
Price is really good, But im spoiled by free shipping when ordering from China anymore.
Im wondering if you have done any high amp draw testing runs to see how they handle 3-5amps? If you feel thats to harsh i understand, I wouldn't do it to many of my cells either.
xxllmm4 its been a few months how are the hi-max going ?
im torn between xtar 2600,s or keep on using my trustfire flames as ive brought 14 odd now all work well all take around 2400 mAh and have low internal resistance.
