Test/review of Enercig EC-14500HP 650mA (Gray)

[size=+3]Enercig EC-14500HP 650mA (Gray)[/size]



Official specifications:

• Typical capacity: 670mAh
• Minimum capacity: 650mAh
• Nominal voltage: 3.7V
• Standard charge: 130mA (0.2C)
• Standard discharge: 130mA (0.2C)
• End-of-charge voltage: 4.20v+/-0.05V
• End-of-discharge voltage: 3.00V
• Quick charge current: 650mA (1C)
• Quick discharge current: 6500mA (10C)
• Max. discharge current: 13000mA (20C)
• Cycle life: 300 times at 0.5C to 80%
• Initial impedance: max 30mOhm
• Operating temperature: Charging: 0° ~ 45°C, discharging: -20°C ~ 60°C
• Storage temperature: -5°C ~ 35°C

This is a high current AA sized LiIon cell.










The discharge curves tracks fairly good and the battery works fine up to 10A, but 15A is too high.



















[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

These batteries has very good performance at high current, this also means that the capacity is a bit lower than low current cells.

The batteries was supplied by ENERDan for review.

This does indeed look like a great 14500 battery for high drain needs!

Thx for the test Henrik! I'm on the hunt for some quality 14500 IMR's and these look pretty good but can't seem to find them on sale anywhere. Any chance you know if any vendor's stock this in the US?

I haven't found these anywhere in the USA. Best ones that HKJ tested, available in US is Efest IMR10440 V1 350mAh (Black)

Enerdan is a German company, this means they mostly sell in Europe.
The cells might exist in US with another name on them, but I do very seldom get cells from US dealers/brands for review any more.

Thx Henrik and again truly appreciate this absolute gem of a resource! As time allows is there any chance you can program in filters? Maybe a few check boxes so one can filter on just IMR's or by particular size (14500 only, etc). The small cell comparator list is still reasonably manageable but your 18650 list is gargantuan. ^_^;; Maybe once the filters are in place, you can then compile the comparators into a single one thus making it easier to manage? Happy to contribute to PayPal to help with the dev work.

@MAD777 - I ended up going with the Windyfire IMR as that was closest to this cell.

I would like to do that, but I have not had the time yet.

Yup, totally understandable. Thanks again for your time and contributions.

Cheers,
