This is a CR132 equivalent size, but the voltage is always compatible.

The two cells do not match completely, but it is not bad for this size battery. The battery can easily deliver 3A, but it pressed above that.

[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

This cell has good capacity and can also deliver current, especially for a 16340 size.

I tested the Acebeam TK16 Osram version with these three cells. The new Vapcell 800mah is clearly the king of 16340.

Vapcell 800mah
Output: 1,184 lumens
Tested capacity: 781, 782, 791, 757 mah


Acebeam 550mah
Outpu: 1,190 lumens
Tested capacity: 617 mah


Efest 700mah Red wrapper
Output: 1,112 lumens
Tested capacity: 685 mah

Someone else tested it here

The Vapcell is the best high capacity 16340 in existence. It is also higher current than the majority of other 16340 cells in the market besides the Acebeam 16340. The Acebeam 16340 makes a bigger difference in output in the Skylumen TX25Cvn though. Both are excellent cells.
