18650 protected batteries

[1loudsvt]

what do you recommend for reliability and charge time?

I found these and the specs look good but has anyone used them?

Check out this thread for performance comparison:

yeah i found that last night but it does not have the batteries i linked to. the mah rating seems to good to be true but i was wondering if anyone has used them and could offer some input.

Your batteries have been tested here but I'm not sure which thread. I remember that they rated well with discharges of 0.5 amps and below but it did not perform well with higher discharge rates.

I just recently got such cells from DX and was disappointed - because I ordered lower mAh ones, those 3000mAh seemed not possible and a fake to me.

These are by far the best performing cells I have now!
(AW, trustfire, ultrafire, Xtar, ..., 18650s are the others)

PS: about 1 A max is my application.

I hope to add them to the comparison, but DX is not always fast on shipping (I ordered them in December, but they have not shipped yet).

There OK up to 1A discharge rate over that and internal resistance becomes a huge factor ...

For low discharge applications , or if you want to hold back current drain on a high drain light , and the run time is good due to the internal resistance .

Lots of the graphs have been lost : But the info is there ...
