Where do i buy good 26650 high drain cells?

EasyB · 2018-08-29T12:43:32.000Z

The aspire 4300mAh is among the best (equal to the best) high drain 26650s. I think I got mine from liionwholesale, but they appear to be out right now. I would search for that cell and see what comes up.

Golisi (gold) from Banggood are also very good

Shockli from MTN:

Shockli 26650 IMR 5500mAh

What are you going to use it for? The aspire and golisi cells have the lowest internal resistance of current 26650s, so they will perform the highest in FET driven lights. But if you just need a cell that can deliver 15A or so the shockli linked above is the best high capacity cell.

There are a couple of other places in the US to check out if you like -

IMR Batteries

Illumn

Both are reputable companies that sell genuine cells.

Edit: I just saw that you already checked out IMR.

These are the best:

Shockli 26650 IMR 5500mAh

There are some keeppower 6000mAh ones which are the same cell with a different wrap.

Hey guys sorry and thanks for all your replies! All these emails were going into my promotion folder or whatever it’s called in my Gmail. Wasn’t seeing them my bad.

I’ll be using them in an ODF30 and a modded L2. I have 4 of the AWT cells but I just kinda want something different. That I can preferably buy in the US and not overseas.

Thanks

I’m not sure if the Shockli 5500 or Keeppower 6000 will fit in the ODF30.

You need both a slim battery for the ODF30 and a raised top for the L2.

The Basen 4500mah might work. I’m not sure of their reputation, though. Maybe someone can comment on that.

There’s not much to choose from in the US.

Not many overseas either. The Liitokala is always good and there are other good cells out there, but you would need to solder blob the tops so they make contact in series.

Got a couple of those Basen 4500mAh on the way, shipped last Monday so hopefully here by the weekend, to try out. Got a couple of these yesterday might be worth looking into

Yeah, I remember those from a long time ago. The little springs won’t carry current for #$!, but maybe they will be fully compressed and not have much resistance. It’s a long trip from overseas, you might as well get some Liitokala’s while your at it (not from Aliexpress). Those are great general purpose high drain cells.

JasonWW · 2018-09-05T11:10:06.000Z

Here are some good usa choices if you had that spacer to connect them in series. They should also fit the ODF30.

Aspire 4300

IJoy 4200

puglife2 · 2018-09-05T12:14:25.000Z

The best 26650 is the shockli 5500mah

It’s too fat to fit the ODF30. So now what?

Mikeadoo · 2018-09-08T12:14:01.000Z

Forgot all about my L2. It is modded so I only use it with one cell. Not 2.
And also when I seen the new promotion email, it won’t let me open it. Says page not found.
Anyone know what’s going on as to why I’m not getting emails when you all are posting on here? Thank you all. I will do some looking around.

I feel bad. I’m not ignoring you.

Mikeadoo · 2018-09-08T12:19:18.000Z

Guys I’ll mostly be using them in the ODF30 if that helps narrow the choices down for you.

The ones from post 12 are most likely to fit the ODF30. They are fairly small diameter. At least they’re listed dimensions show that they are small diameter. I’ve never use either of those two batteries.

Someone may have posted in this thread and then later deleted their post so the link in the email going to that particular comment was now gone.

Mikeadoo · 2018-09-08T12:47:12.000Z

Thanks I’ll check them out

BLightSam · 2018-09-08T17:10:42.000Z

Don’t know about hi drain, but EVVA 5200mah from Mountain is slim.

BrySig228 · 2018-09-08T19:15:13.000Z

I just recently got this from amazon 4 for $20. So far they’re working great with my flashlights. Sc26, odl20c, m8, L2, UT02 and also works great on my olight r50.

wolfdog1226 · 2018-09-08T19:34:50.000Z

The PLB-55 Cell is the best one. It is in the Orbtronic 26650 5750mAh , The Shockli 26650 5500mAh and the KP 26650 6000mAh cell.

I have the Orbtronic and Shockli version……

A slight variation OR are my Orbtronics better?!
