Better compare them to the Keeppower 3400, the generic protected cells feature a lower quality circuit. They are about 7% better, pretty much the same as the increase in capacity (6%).
Horst Horstmann is right. Orbtronic 3600mAh protected vs Eagletac 3400mAh protected (EagleTac newest model).
We can go on and on with this. But, in the end these 3600mAh are 3400mAh on steroids, and they do provide higher voltage over the whole run time "session".
Orbtronic on steroids Higher voltage is the only thing I do care. 100mAh up and down doesn’t mean anything. Panasonic have a weird way to test capacity anyway.
Orbtronic 3600mAh from 4.2V to 2.5V @ 1000mA = 3550mAh it’s all good
Same with everything that is new to the market. Still cheap comparing to AW 18650 cells.
The good thing about 3600mAh is that prices of 3400mAh is pushed down to $16.32 shipped free (when you buy 4 cells), and 3100mAh to $12.99 shipped free to USA almost immediately
If it's $16.32 for all 4, I'd still like a link for that. That's far better than anything I've seen. The best I've seen is ~$13 for two 3400mah cells, but prices have gone up since then.
