Which 21700 cell for my lights?

Face · Jan 10, 2021

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some advice please on which of my 21700 cells would be best suited to each of my 21700 flashlights. I personally would prefer sheer output levels first followed by runtime.

The lights I currently have are:

Astrolux EC01
Convoy S21A
Sofirn C8F
Sofirn C8G

The cells that I have available are:

Molicel P42A
Molicel M50A
Samsung 40T
Samsung 50G
Sofirn 4800mah
Sofirn 4000mah

Thank you very much.

Samsung or Lishen 21700's.

The best (good discharge rate and high capacity) for anything up to something like a Nitecore E4K (4400 lumens) is going to be the Molicel M50A, if you can find it. I think the manufacturers have been buying them all up to make their 15 amp discharge rated protected cells. Next up would be the Molicel P42A which is slightly higher capacity than the Samsung 40T, rated for extreme cold temperatures, and can handle as much, if not more current (45 rated amps vs. 35).
