Test/Review of EagleTac 18650 3100mAh (Black)

[visayan]

Picked up a couple of the current EagleTac 3100mAh. Cells (white wrapper) & couldn't be happier! They come off my Pila charger at 4.19V. fit all my 'lights, which the Panasonic (black) don't and give superior run-time. A couple of AW3100's with about a dozen cycles are still coming off at 4.11V...., so I changed ship! The E/T's are considerably cheaper as well. :thumbsup:

I'm about to buy these in Amazon, but the picture has two color versions and they definitely look different in sizes:

I'm buying these for a couple of Trustfire XM-L T6 LED torches.

They're the same Panasonic NCR18650A cell made in Japan. The creme colored wrapper in the 'new version'.

I've got two from March, with the black and silver wrapper.

They tested out pretty well according to HKJ. Not the best, but not the worst.

I wonder why the cell uses a different button top than the other Panasonic cells?

Eagletac designed their lights so they only accept the small nipple top. That way you have to buy their batteries. These are the only batteries I buy now because they run in all lights. I couldn't get my nitecore EC2 and a couple other lights running on flattops or button tops, but the Eagletac nipple tops powered them right up.
