Test / Review: EnerPower+ 18650 3400mAh (Blue)

EnerPower+ 18650 3400mAh (Blue)



Official specifications:

  • Nominal Voltage: 3.6V
  • Capacity: 3400mAh
  • Minimum Capacity: 3350mAh
  • Standard charging current: 680mA for 5.5 hours to 4.2 V / 0.2 C
  • Maximum charge current 0.5 C/1700mA
  • Protection: 7A
  • Deep discharge protection: at 3V
  • Nickel base plate for added durability
  • Diameter: 18.5 mm + / - 0.01
  • Length: 68.8 mm + / - 0.01
  • Weight: 48g




This is the latest cells from Panasonic with the highest capacity.
The cell used can be discharged down to 2.5 volt, in my test I only discharges to 2.8 volt, i.e. I do not measure the full capacity. But then, not all lights will be able to use the full capacity.











These batteries are good at both low and higher current.















Conclusion

This battery has higher capacity and better high current capacity than its predecessor (3100mAh/NCR18650A).
EnerPower has added a good protection to a good cell, making a very good battery.

EnerPower, Enerdan, everything is Germany :D

Great cells, high quality, non-budget price :)

Thanks as always for these tests! Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.

These seem like the best protected batteries to date! Where can I buy them?

Ebay.

EnerPower is mostly focused on Europe, that means you can find them in European shops, especially in lampentroll, Enerpower does also have a ebay shop.

Generally price inside Europe is higher than US and Chine price, i.e you can probably find the 3400mAh batteries cheaper, but not necessary in better quality.
