Originally known as the Wow 18650 , I tested one way back and was impressed with its performance . The Hi-max certainly did not disappoint , and in my MTE SSC P7 [ used for run times ] , it really was a hand warmer all the way to the end , and Im sure I didnt capture the discharge current fully , but still a impressive battery . If Hi-max only marked the battery as a 2400 , then I could give them a few brown'y points for not exaggerating capacity just a little .
In the discharge testing the Hi-max did extremely well , especially considering its up against Japanese cells , and if it were compared to cheaper Chinese made cells , it would surely look even better .
I removed all the clutter from the run time test , but the results are close enough to the AW 2600 for me to call it about the same [ close match ] .
Now I used my Imax B6 to discharge the Hi-max [ no pun intended ] at 0.5A for a discharge capacity of 2379mAh [ discharged from 4.2v down to 3v under load ] . Now what impressed me was I charged the Hi-max about one week ago to 4.2v , and a week latter it was still 4.2v , and the run time test was done after checking the voltage state with no top up .
In case anyone is interested , http://www.jayki.com/?mid=flashlight_review_board&page=2&document_srl=11340 , original Wow 18650 test .
So there you go , excellent discharge capability , decent capacity , and still performs well .
As a footnote , my Wow 18650 is still performing well , and has given me no issues to be concerned about .
