Mr Baz Reviews review hugsby p2...please 🙏🙏🙏
Problem is trying to get hold of items so at the moment it's more Nitecore and the odd Olight when they release a new model and the occasional other maker. If it's around on some other site Banggood or Gearbest/FastTech I might be able to get hold of one. I'm reducing the LED torch reviews a bit as I have to look at other items too.
I can ask Xtar but I have seen a seller on ebay selling them ( mpower_hongkong), not sure where they deliver to but they are selling these
Could I use these batteries with a vaper mod ?
Hello! What's the discharge current?
Thanks for the review Mr Baz!!!
Cheers for the comment I have more battery tests coming up (quite a lot of them)
@@MrBazReviews excellent, we look forward to them! Prost
If you need high c rating/amp draw, can't you use one of the super high drain IMR (20-30a) 18650s and a led driver with an inbuilt protection circuit?
There is no reason why you can't use unprotected cells in torches and I do often. Usually the only potential issue isn't charging or drain (even high capacity unprotected cells can handle the power draw). It's that some might drain down the cell and not cut it off, varies from torch to torch some do have low voltage protection, some don't. I think makers ship mainly protected cells so people can't damage the batteries (ie overcharging/discharge etc)
Mr Baz Reviews there are plenty of options these days which make unprotected cells pretty much redundant.Panny GA cells can hold good amp draws or a protected rewraps 30q .I use the imalent 30q rewraps 3000 and they can easily handle 15 amps even up to 20 without tripping the protection.i personally would never use unprotected in any of my multi cell lights.
Don't think the discharge A is high enough for my Mateminco mt18s. Can you recommend any good 3500mAh batteries that will work in the Mateminco mt18s flashlight which is practically identical to the Astrolux MF01s flashlight. The LG MJ1 18650 3500mAh 10A button top protected batteries do not work properly, the flashlight shuts off on ramping high and into turbo mode. The LG HG2 18650 3000mAh 20A button top unprotected batteries seem to work perfectly. I'm thinking of the Sanyo NCR 18650 GA at just about 3500mAh but I'm worried the 10A discharge isn't enough? I'm also considering the Efest 3500mAh flat top unprotected 10A continuous, 20A pulse discharge.
Just go off the continuous discharge rate not the pulse, so if 10A isn't enough the 15-20A ones should be. A slight drop in capacity is expected the 3500mAh cells are usually rated to 10A cont discharge, so just use the 3000mAh ones
@@MrBazReviews nice! I'm contacting the Mateminco mt18s flashlight company in China and they said the Sanyo 3500mAh NCR18650 GA would be ok. But since my LG 3500mAh 10A button top protected batteries cut off at high ramping and turbo, I'm very hesitant. Don't know if it's because they are a bit longer due to being protected button tops or just because 10A of most all batteries won't function properly. I'm just hoping to find the 3500mAh batteries because they hold a charge longest.
Do you know what the internal resistance of a new and good Samsung Q 30 3000mAh button top 15A battery should read on a Zanflare C4 charger tester? My 4 new ones say 2.80, 1.90, 2.14, and 3.02 mR. What does mR stand for please. Thanks again
There are 3 digits there is no . in there. Normally about 20-35 for new cells but the Zanflare is reading via the slots so it adds resistance. Take them out and re-insert readings can vary
@@MrBazReviews ok very interesting. There appears to be some little bit of extra space between the 1st and the next two digits. That's why I just guessed the space stood for the decimal point. Also because my new Efest 3000mAh 35A 18650s all give Zanflare C4 readouts of 0 36mR , 0 56mR, 0 68mR and 0 56mR respectively. And my eight other new LG 18650s all give Zanflare C4 mR readouts of 1 00 or less. I guess these other new batteries just have very low resistance compared to my four new Samsung Q30s, which is wonderful, I hope?. I'm guessing mR stands for milli Ohms. I also hear that there are many scammers selling bad batteries.
@@MrBazReviews I'm thinking the decimal point is after the first number from the right. So, my mR readings are actually 28.0, 19.0, 21.4, and 30.2 ! Doesn't this seem right? Thank you
what whas yuor flashlight when you use this 18650, a concept one...??
Yes that is the test torch I use for higher drain cells
thanks for answer,, is it better the high drian cells than a low drain cells?
For the concept one you need a higher drain cell otherwise it will trip the protection. A normal 18650 protected will do that. This one won't nor the 8A ones from Nitecore and others (ie high drain protected). You can also use flat top cells (and I do mainly with this torch shorter and easier to put in) they are high drain just no protection so don't short or run the cell right down!
Okey,thank you! :) and have a nice day! :)
No problem!
Can you tell me good quality 18600 3500mAh batteries i want 4 for my jbl partybox 100 as the old ones seems have lost some of the power they had. Thanks
You mean 18650?
@@MrBazReviews yes my bad
@@alexdoukas Samsung, LG, Panasonic they are the top makers. Efest are fine too I've used them, Hohm tested well they have many types, Ebat also tested up to spec. Just avoid the dodgy Ebay ones that claim to have crazy high capacities, which are pure fantasy
@@MrBazReviews Im gonna try NiteCore seems good. Yeah understand your point thanks for the reply.
@@alexdoukas They're rebranded Panasonic cells usually, most of the OEM brands are. You might find it cheaper to buy the original maker v the branded ones
