A 16340 cell from Meco, how good is this brand?













There is not much capacity in the cell, they two cells do not match and cannot deliver much current.









A cell cannot power a 3 Watt load.









Conclusion

This cell is a waste of money.

Thanks HKJ! A few of the images look a little odd on my phone. It could be something on my end. Thanks for helping keep us safe and informed.

Batteries are total scrap. :person_facepalming:

Thanks for doing this review.

I would be very surprised if the outcome was very different.

It would never have been a 1200mAh battery, but it could have been a decent 600mAh.

Decimal point two places out. Thanks for the review HKJ. :beer:
