Sony VTC6 - a 3000mAh/30A monster in 18650 size

Sony US18650VTC6 (or just VTC6) is a high drain 18650 size Li-ion cell which supports discharge rate up to 15A if no temperature control is used and up to 30A with 80°C temperature cut. The battery was bought from my reliable supplier ( Queen Battery ) and tested  with  ZKETECH EBC-A20  and a self-made battery holder. It's a PC-connected battery tester supporting 4-wire measuring and discharging at up to 20A.

Samsung 50E capacity test - 5000mAh or not?

Samsung INR21700-50E is a 21700 size cell which is being sold as 5000mAh one while in its official datasheet the capacity is mentioned as "Min. 4900mAh". I've tested it to find out it's real capacity. The battery was bought from my reliable supplier ( Queen Battery ) and tested  with  ZKETECH EBC-A20  and a self-made battery holder.

Samsung 21700 battery battle: 50G vs 48G vs 50E

Samsung has a good lineup of 21700 Li-ion batteries and when i tested INR21700-50G i thought it would be interesting to test INR21700-48G cell too because the new batch of 48Gs came in green heat shrink tube (the version i tested before was gray). Then i added 50E results to comparison as they are very close in capacity and max discharge rate. The batteries were bought from Queen Battery which is my reliable supplier of genuine cells and tested with ZKETECH EBC-A20 and a self-made battery holder. It's a PC-connected battery tester supporting 4-wire measuring and discharging at up to 20A. 50G and 48G cells were tested using my battery holder v.4.0. A detailed video about it is available on my channel. I've followed all the prescriptions of the IEC61960-2003 standard concerning battery's capacity measurement. Before each discharging cycle the battery was charged at standard charge current mentioned in its datasheet to charge end voltage. Before each discharging or char

3500mAh 18650 Li-ion cells' discharge capacity test (Sanyo NCR18650GA vs Panasonic NCR18650GA vs LG MJ1 vs Samsung INR18650-35E)

Hi guys! I’ve got four 3500mAh batteries from top manufacturers. I’ve tested and compared them. I think it’s interesting not only for me, but also for you, the guy who is reading this:) The cells were bought from Queen Battery , a Chinese supplier of genuine batteries, who specializes mainly on EV and eBike market. Queen Battery has a branch in Europe, but they also work with customers from Americas, Russia, etc… As always, I've tested with ZKETECH EBC-A20 and a self-made battery holder. It's a PC-connected battery tester supporting 4-wire measuring and discharging at up to 20A. I've followed all the prescriptions of the IEC61960-2003 standard concerning battery's capacity measurement. Before each discharging cycle each battery was charged at standard current mentioned in its datasheet to 4.2V (cut-off at 0.1A, which is the lowest supported by EBC-A20). Before each discharging or charging i've held a 1-1.5hrs pause. The environment temperature was 20-

Li-ion 21700: LG M50 5000mAh vs Samsung 48G 4800mAh discharge capacity test

Hi guys! I've tested two high capacity 21700 cells - LG M50 (5000mAh) and Samsung 48G (4800mAh). The latter i had already tested before and the re-testing of another cell showed almost no difference with previous test results. The M50 is a new cell which is being sold as 10A one, but in its datasheet the maximum discharge current is mentioned as 7.28A. Nevertheless i've also discharged it at 10A to look at it's behavior. The cells i've bought from Queen Battery . As always, I've tested with ZKETECH EBC-A20 and a self-made battery holder. It's a PC-connected battery tester supporting 4-wire measuring and discharging at up to 20A. I've used the v2.5 of my battery holder I've followed all the prescriptions of the IEC61960-2003 standard concerning battery's capacity measurement.
