Best performance cell 18650 available for my light?

The problem is the QA of the 30Q is not so consistent.

If you want a clear average picture, you need to test 10 or even 20, and maybe only true for that production run.

With VTC6 and LG HG2 the just one will give a accurate snapshot of all instances of the model.

The 30Q is rated for 250 cycles to 60% capacity, whereas the VTC6 is rated at 500 cycles to 60%. It's surprising the 30Q holds up better, at least for 50 cycles. It would be interesting if Mooch extended the test, to see when each battery finally gives up. On paper, the 30Q should give up before the VTC6.

Vendor specs on longevity cannot be used to compare to models from other makers.

Only real-life objective A/B tests by trusted members have that kind of validity.

That would be HKJ...and Mooch
