Test/review of Vapcell INR21700 5000mAh (Purple) 2018

Interesting, but still would like to buy a Tesla someday...

I am thinking of making a bulk order of these from Vapcell. Just wondering what thoughts are with rewraps and if I will get cells remotely the same since the review is over 2 years old?

Vapcell has been kinda sketchy lately with their Chinese rewrapped cells. Lots of ones with high self discharge arriving dead. I wouldn’t do it. Stick with samsungs or even listens if you need 5000mAh. Monocle P42As at 4200mA are really good if you don’t need the capacity.

Ya I was eyeing the Lishen 5000 or 4500. The only thing that has been holding me back on those cells is I can’t find any long term experiences with them after 100 or so cycles.

What’s your use case? They’re pretty cheap and Chinese cells have been improving in quality over the years. Do note that the listens are larger in diameter, 21.9mm or so iirc

Im using them for building battery packs for PEVs (EUC/Scooter)
