Looks like we might finally have a 14500 that tops the Sanyo UR14500P. Now if we could only have a decent 16340.....

I couldn't agree more!
And 16650 in IMR version...

Thanks for review/info as always HKJ, as with all your informative threads. I dont always comment, but appreciate all the hard work behind the scenes you do, you seriously :rock:

This is nice to see, a good option for 14500 fuel. My uses are limited these days with this cell, only a handful of lights i have, use 14500.

As above with id30209, a high drain 16650 cell would be awesome! Especially if it could retain 2500mah or better still!

This too, i have many lights running the weedy 16340 cells, would be great to have 1000mah options! I can dream...............

Thanks is for the excellent review as always. This cell will be perfect for my 14500 Nova.
