"New" Vapcell 21700 F60

Hi Everyone, did someone tried/tested these Vapcell 21700 F60 yet?

Not sure I can throw links here.

1 Thank

I haven’t tried it, but you can post a link on BLF. :+1:

Did not want to be considered as a Vapcell representative :grimacing:

Just Found them 5 min after ordering two F56… :roll_eyes:

We have to finally get to a point where enough is enough. If we get capacities that high, when am I going to ever get a chance to charge the thing. Charging batteries is almost as much fun as using flashlights.

You are right. I always have a split feeling about this. Glad I’m not alone.

I bought some F56 to go into my TS21 as a powerbank I carry. The biggest capacity is what I was looking for.

Nice. I’m also edcing a ts21. I’m running the included 5000 mA hour cell though. Have not used it as a power bank yet, but it is nice to have as an option. It’s almost a shame that light has USB charging, as the threads are so nice to take the tail cap on and off and I don’t get a chance.

I’ve got a pair on the way and will be testing them soon.

these are feb battery rewraps

The FEB21700-60A?
How did you find out?

cannot recall if it was vapcell dennis who said it was feb rewraps or someone else … :thinking:

1 Thank

Okay, thanks.
I saw that FEB brochure but there’s also the 6000mAh Lishen LR21700SS so I wanted to ask how you knew it was the FEB. If it was Dennis then I’m confident they’re FEB’s. If it was someone else then they might be Lishen’s unless that other person was as knowledgeable about Vapcell’s cells.

Sort of depends. These ultra high capacity batteries are lower CDR than my EDC uses (18A on 200% turbo, IIRC), yeah, but I also have lower drain lights I use for general purposes like area/mood lighting. Perfect for that, or for emergency use in an ultra-efficient light like a Zebralight etc where you really are trying to stretch out as many minutes as you can for runtime.

I look forward to your test. My Vapcell S4+ measured 5817mAh for the first cycle. At 1000/500 mA charge and discharge current. Unfortunately, I only have one piece.

I was mostly joking in my reply. You are correct though. I’m not too particular on what cells I use, generally whichever ones I have available. Almost all of mine are tool battery salvage. I mostly use Samsung 20r Cells. Plenty of capacity for me, even though they are roughly half of what is available now. My 21700 lights have the cells that the light shipped with

I like having as high capacity as I can get and I don’t really ever use more than 700 lumens. Pretty sure that’s no more than 2.5 a.

Can anyone test this in the zebralight sc700d? I’m planning to get two of them, and I would like to put the highest capacity battery in them that can fit.

There is no ~700 lumens level for the SC700d. Level 10 is advertised at 945 lumens and level 09 at 583 lumens. Lucky you are, zeroair tested both levels here.

As Selfbuilt mentionned years ago, you can make use of the rule of three for mAh numbers:
@Level 10, with a 4000 mah battery, zeroair mesured roughly 900 lumens for ~121 mins, so you should get ~181 min of runtime (before sharp drop) with an 6000 mah 21700 battery
@Level 09, with a 4000 mah battery, zeroair mesured roughly 500 lumens for ~226 mins, so you should get ~339 min of runtime (before sharp drop) with an 6000 mah 21700 battery

Very interesting numbers !

I’m aware of zeroair and 1lumwn reviews, I’ve already seen the chart.

I’m asking will the 6000 mah fit into a sc700d?

Cause I read a thread here on blf on the vapcell f56 5600 mah battery in a zebralight sc700 and the guy showed that it kinda barely does, but creates a vacuum like seal when putting the battery in it or taking it out

I’m okay with vacuum as long as I don’t have to use a magnet to get the battery out

What im worried about is that if the 5600 mah barely fits by a nanometer then the 6000 mah will probably not fit at all

Id like to know that before I order the batteries

Anyway…

I’m really looking forward to seeing how these compare in e-scores to the P45B, especially at the 10A test. I’ve got a lot of lights that have 8A drivers, and if this beats the P45B I might need to grab some for extended run times on those lights.

The F56 is definitely a chonker, like it won’t fit in my SkyRC MC3000. The G56 is a little smoller. The F60 looks to be the same exact size as the F56 based on their specs, so I’m guessing it too will not fit in my SkyRC

Size:
G56 21.1±0.2 * 70.0±0.3mm
F56 21.6±0.2 * 71.0±0.3mm
F60 21.6±0.2 * 71.0±0.3mm

Now we have 21700s with more capacity than the 26650 in my SP33S… Maybe I’ll have a 21700 tube for it lathed from Alu and use that. Would make the light quite a bit thinner and nicer to handle, too. It’s more used as a Powerbank than as a light, so more capacity is better ^^
