New Vapcell 10440s

Anyone tried the new 450mAH Vapcell 10440s yet?

The specs seem really good for little 104440 flashlights.

H10 fiasco makes me wary of high capacity Vapcell products now…

H10 fiasco?

What is the H10 fiasco. I bought many different Vapcells and they are all very good cells and they often test higher than the rated capacity. Mooch and HKJ tested many Vapcells and they are one of the trustworthy “rewrap” brands.

There were these posts that discussed about bad H10s that were self discharge to dead and even explode.

I personally had about 6 or more that were 0 volt when I want to use it.
However, it only happened on the newest batches (the darker purple one, around 2025), older one had no issue.

Interesting.

I will put the cells I recieve through their paces. We’ll see how they perform. H10 fiasco definitely seems concerning.

Alright. Some preliminary testing, conducted using Vapcell BL4

Of the 12 cells that I got, there were initially 4 cells that had higher internal resistance than the rest - ~85ohms vs ~45 ohms for the rest.

After a single cycle, charging at 100ma (about 0.2C) and discharging at 250ma (about 0?5C), every single cell now reads about 85ohms.

At 250ma discharge rate (about 0.5C), all but 1 cell read about 460mah, exceeding their rating. The 1 underperforming cell measured 400mah, below the promised minimum of 420mah.

Upon retest, low capacity cell achieved 460mah capacity.

All the cells still have high (according to BL4) internal resistance.

Can you send some pictures for the cells and how those look? Thanks.
