This is the latest cells from Panasonic with the highest capacity with added protection and button top from Xtar.
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.
The tracking between the two batteries are good (as expected).
The over current protection is at "only" 6A, this will protect the batteries from mistreatment, but gives the battery a slightly lower output voltage at high current.
Conclusion
This battery has higher capacity and better high current capacity than its predecessor Xtar 3100mAh.
Xtar has added protection to a good cell, making a very good battery.
Notes and links
The batteries was supplied by Xtar via www.lajt.se for review.
Keepower 3400 Mah cells have that same yellow plate. I have been told that it is a gold plated metal plate and it certainly looks it when looking at the cells up close and personal.
Guys, do you realize how much money HKJ saves us in doing these awesome battery reviews. I can’t think of a better member or smarter member than him when it comes to telling it like it is and giving us the best in detail battery reviews every single time. I am truly thankful that he is here, and I personally want to thank him here for his time in doing all of these great battery reviews. I pretty much go buy what he says. It’s kind of like buying good insurance for batteries when you know your getting what you pay for in advance before you buy.
