What's the best protected Highest capacity 18650 available?

[lasercrazy]

I'm looking for some good high capacity 18650 cells. What's the best out there and where do I buy them?

For protected I think AW takes the cake 2.2Ah protected but their are LG 2.8Ah cells.

another vote for aw. they can take some serious current. i like them more than my WE's ones and that is saying a lot.

I already have some 2.2ah cells, too bad no one make the high capacity in protected form. :sad:

Pila brand 18650 size batteries have been around for awhile and are now rated in the 2200mAh class. Protected all the way. Not sure about 2800mAh protected LG batteries. Never heard of them.

AW's are the best as far as protected cells go....period.

LG has just introduced protected 2400 mAh button-top 18650 cells. SilverFox will test them when them arrive. Unfortunately, the protection shuts down the cell at a modest 1.5C (3.6 amps).

Pila's 600P and Wolf Eyes's 168A are both rated 2200mAh.

As of this writing, the most capacious unprotected 18650 is the LG 2600mAh.

I too am interested in where folk actually buy their Pila and Wolf Eyes cells? Recommendations anyone? I can't even scout out a price, let alone a seller it seems.

Any help appreciated!

What's AW?

 

[Paul_in_Maryland]

AW is a who, not a what! He's a CPF dealer who commissions/designs high-quality lithium-ion cells and sells them at great prices. Here's his main thread.

They're 1.5C - checked a couple weeks ago.
May or may not fire your LAs on the first click, but they're inexpensive.

Wow. How things have changed in strides.

I recently bought a couple of AW 2900 mAh. They are flat top but work in every 1X18650 host I own. (Leef, SF 6P, Malkoff MD2)
