Thanks Paul, I appreciate it. I was certainly impressed with these. I have done further research on these and they appear (though I can't confirm it with certainty as they have no markings) LG HG2 18650 20A 3000mAh cells but again I can't positively confirm it. All the best and thanks for watching and the kind comments.

You are most welcome. Thank you very much for watching and the kind comments. All the best.

Thanks.

Richard Lloyd - welcome

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thank you very much. All the best.

That doesn't mean anything unless you state the watts/amps used - eg. was that 15W/5.4A or 50W/9.8A?

I buy cells for the devices I own. In the case of the 26650 I only have one device that takes them and that is this flash light kzfaq.info/get/bejne/neCoq6-VqtDRk2Q.html b They have massive storage capability but that comes at the price of size and weight. For lights I find I reach for the smaller lighter 18650 powered devices more often. Thanks.

I can only guess, note that it's only a guess, that it's a safety disclaimer as they are not protected cells and they don't want to a lawsuit. Thanks.

Richard Lloyd. ya I can see why they might say that now I said what u said. haha thanks for your opinion sir

I've seen a 5 cell mod before! That blew me away! I use a 3 cell mod and thought that was excessive, but 5!?

You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.

I am currently testing a 36V (10S 2P) battery pack from Ebay: goo.gl/VshJBf which from my testing is giving me 2150 (actually higher) but they are 2150 mAh 18650 LG MF1 cells at $1.75 when you buy the battery pack and you also get a 10S Battery Management System (BMS) built in. I will be posting a video on that soon. Thanks.

looking for the video. 36v is good for many ebike motors.

@@richardlloydusa The link doesn't seem to work?

Have you seen the batteries from this pack: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5inaK6Sl9Wypmw.html ? Thanks.

That depends on what your view of "cheap" is. I go with the best value. I find harvesting them from new laptop battery packs is a good way to get bulk 18650 cells in bulk. Here is a video on how to do it : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5t_h9dezNmvgH0.html and here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMlzZqdn0p2UlaM.html Thanks

Thanks!! I had 2 lap batteries and harvested 12. Six of the batteries did not have a samsung or lg logo on them, It said only 2000mAh but upon measurement and test it had 800 tops so I threw them away.. What I wanted to do was to buy unprotected Bat and add them on a decent Diy case with protection chip.. Any brand of Bat You recommend? Will it be safe for my mom or GF to use them? Will it depend on the Diy case? I kinda feel unprepared to do this... thanks again... ;)

Do yourself a favor and buy this power pack instead Simian Power Up 10400mAh Power Bank At Amazon: amzn.to/2o37JgV or the Simian Power Up 10400mAh Power Bank At Ebay: goo.gl/HJJ4O8 It's $12.95 at Amazon. Here is a video review of it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qMB7mbyTxMrehoE.html and here is a modification I did on it too kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atJ5dNCkmcDLk2w.html It's a great value and you don't have to build anything. Thanks and all the best.

You are most welcome. Thanks for watching and the kind comments. All the best.

It depends on what you mean by better. The Panasonic NCR18650B at Amazon: amzn.to/2mNgy1j have a higher storage capability 3400mAh vs 3000mAh and they are more or less the same price but if you need a higher Amperage output for vaping then the Efest 3000mAh cells (here they are at Ebay goo.gl/OHrksu ) are superior. As I said it depends on your needs. Thanks.

Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

MichaelF I was wondering the same thing because my smoant Battlestar mod takes two of these to run

You do if the device you are using does not have any circuit to protect the cell from over discharge, over charge, over current or short circuit. Thanks.

I have not tested any of the 26650's you mentioned but I did find a test on the IMREN purple IMR26650 3.7 5500MAH here www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/threads/imren-purple-22a-5500mah-26650-bench-test-results-only-a-10a-5200mah-battery.730658/ the results are not spectacular but the review is very well done. Here is a discussion on the Soshine 26650 5500 mAh cells too: budgetlightforum.com/node/39045 Thanks for asking as I may review them myself too. All the best.

You have a lot of options. If you want to use unprotected cells here is a video I made on how to get those cheap kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5t_h9dezNmvgH0.html if you want protected cells I have reviewed many reputable options here kzfaq.info/sun/PLnxXRLSlmSVMDGRsShAZURKw_0RYpLQXf Thanks.

HealthSupercharger use 18650 batteries that are between 2000-2700MaH

Voltage at discharge should be 2.5V see efestpower.com/index.php?ac=article&at=read&did=396 Thanks.

Thank you for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. I appreciate it greatly. All the best. 👍😀

I had problems with the SKYRC chargemaster software it is buggy to say the least but I did figure out how to make it somewhat stable. After you install it you need to run it as administrator or it will not function well at all. I will be making a video on how to do that and the different versions. I found them here hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-accucell-6-50w-6a-balancer-charger-lihv-capable.html with the firmware for mine as well. Here are the files for your charger hobbyking.com/en_us/imax-b6ac-v2-professional-balance-charger-discharger.html go to the files tab about mid way down the page I suspect they are the same programs but they are not clearly labeled so you have to try them all until you find one that works "OK" by OK I mean it only crashes once in a while. Mine crashed when I created a new directory while trying to save the charge graphs. I now use windows file manager to create the directories and then use Chargemaster to save it in the appropriate directory. Thanks for asking as it has given me impetus to create a video on this issue. All the best

Doing some research it seems that accucell is really a re-badged skyrc module hence when you look at the screen and functions are exactly same as skyrc... Looking at videos etc online the screen and menus look like a exact copy gr33nonline.wordpress.com/2016/10/17/b6-based-chargers/

You may be right. I own a clone version of the Imax B6 which is why I bought the Turnigy because it is a legitimate charger that I know is genuine. I had people complaining that it was a clone so it was not reliable (BTW it was a good one that is properly calibrated) I may compare the B6 clone with the Turnigy in a future video (of course with the caveat that there is no guarantee that you will get a "good" clone B6). I was lucky to get one. The menus on both my chargers are similar as is the function but the Turnigy has many features that the Imax B6 does not have (like battery resistance) I found it curios that your charger and the Turnigy are using the same firmware revision # Firmware V1.13 this could of course be a coincidence but that is one heck of a coincidence. BTW my Turnigy Accucell 6 is the latest physical version which is much smaller than the original or the Imax B6. Thanks for comments and the feedback. All the best.

Richard Lloyd i had a clone b6 just like yours and it had issues with voltage. I sold it and made sure I purchased a true skyrc unit. And was shocked that the real b6 discharge/recharge mah rating being off by 800-1000mah. Then skyrc customer service being basically non existent. When finally posting on Facebook then skyrc telling me that the units are not accurate. ???? Normal for a true Panasonic 18650 cell to be off by 800-1000mah. But measures fine with a opus charger. When I searched online a number of people showed the Turnigy was the same as a b6. With some very minor exterior changes, menu changes. And even as you showed the skyrc charge master program works on the Turnigy??? As well warnings from people to not accidentally update the Turnigy firmware with skyrc firmware. Because options will disappear, just like your resistance option. I will have to check my b6+ because I'm sure it has resistance option and as you said takes that version number. Can't wait for a charger comparison lol. You might even want to get bigclive involved as I'm sure he would love a tear down Cheers

I checked my Panasonic NCR18650B cells with the clone Imax B6 and they came up right. Here is the video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtKJa5qbt77IgXU.html Thanks for the great feedback. I appreciate it. You have given me a few new ideas I may pursue for videos in the future. Thanks.

No. Safty is a chip on the top. Only button top ones have a disc with the chip

If it uses a cell with the specifications of this cell, yes.

Thank you.

Thank you for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. I appreciate it greatly. All the best. 👍😀

I will consider doing a review on them I see them on Ebay for $15 here goo.gl/rn1SBW The reviews are scattered on their actual capacity so I may do it just to see if they are legit. Thanks.

From what I can tell these are LG HG2 18650 20A 3000mAh you can get them at At Amazon: amzn.to/2n11T3g but since there are no markings on the cells to verify that information, I can't say for sure. Thanks.

Richard Lloyd hello this efes 3000 mah 35a battery is safe i can use my elektronic cigarette.. and instantly qives you how many amper and you can use an electinic cigarette( asmodus minikin v2) that you can recommend me with a battery, for example awt red 3000 mah 40 amper this battery is safe THANKSSS

不客气

That's what I did. It worked great. Thanks.

I am using the micro USB interface on the charger and a the supplied software. The Foxnovo does not have the interface. Here is a link to the charger I am using in the video at Amazon: amzn.to/2lJDhMp thanks.

The weight of the cell is relevant. All the rip off cells I have reviewed were very light in weight. Here are all my cell and battery reviews: kzfaq.info/sun/PLnxXRLSlmSVO3L0jStRnPEEN2egrODjnm Thanks.

I found that some are quite clever and weigh them up with sand or lead pellets in glue to get the desired weight! So not ALL the fakes are too light.

Yes, I bought some EBL AA cells 2800 mAh nimh and they were good. No idea on 18650's though. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

Thanks for the feedback. I fixed the first link at Amazon but the Keeppower 18650 is not currently available on Amazon. Both products are available on Ebay. All the best.

Thanks.

36 Mega ohms. Thanks

I assume you mean 36 milliohms which is in the ball park if a bit low.

Yes, I mistook the lower case m as an upper case M. BTW where are you getting the information as to what the value should be? Thanks.

I will look into it. Thanks.

Richard Lloyd thanks

You are welcome. Thanks.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I could not confirm or deny that information. Thanks.

They are not.

Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

You forgot UltraFire. I have an UltraFire 9900mAh 18650 battery. Very powerful battery, made my flashlight so much brighter.

UltraFires are pretty sketchy man, you're also never going to get a true 9900mAh cell in 18650 form

Right on man, why have 3 batteries when this 9900mAh powerhouse is all you need :)

Hahaha that basshead is a rocket, he was chatting the same crap on one of my videos - claiming he has proved he has a 9900mAh battery. Funnily enough when I offered him $250 to send me one, if it tested like he said, he went quiet. Either troll, or sells shit fakes with ridiculous (impossible) claims himself These eFest are Samsung 30Q, bit cheeky putting 35a on there in big writing. Problem with eFest is they seem to be hit or miss, batch to batch.

You are talking absolute.. Truth!

Are you asking or making a statement? Thanks.

asking

Unfortunately I don't have a clear reason from the manufacturer why you should not stack them. I can guess it's for safety reasons as the cells are not protected so there is no protection for over voltage, over amperage or short circuit so from a liability point of view single use is much safer than stacking the cell. Thanks.

Romeo Sierra if u don't mind rewrapped batteries that lie about the true ratings of the cells there trying to sell u. and if u vape buying batteries at that low of a price most likely will blow up in your face.
