Test/Review of Xtar 18350 900mAh (Black)

[size=+3]Xtar 18350 900mAh (Black)[/size]



Official specifications:

• Capacity: 900mAh
• Voltage: 3.7V 3.33Wh
• Size: ø18.0±0.2mm x 36.3±±0.5mm

This battery has slightly better capacity than specified.










The battery does very good up to 2A, at 3A the cells show variations.















[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

The battery has good performance and at can match some IMR cells at 2A (It has more capacity and about same voltage).
I will only rate the battery as acceptable, because it uses an unknown cell.



[size=+3]Notes and links[/size]

The battery was supplied by Xtar for review.

Excellent job, thank you HKJ!

Very interesting! Easily the highest capacity 18350s I've seen tested. :thumbsup: However, I'd be especially impressed if they can maintain this level of performance after very many 3a discharge cycles. I intend to find out.

Where to buy?

I hope you will report back when you find out.

I do not know, but I will expect that any place with Xtar batteries will get this one also.

It would be great if Xtar could tell us when and where these cells could be bought. Never know, might sell a few that way!
