Efest 21700 5000mAh 10A
The examinations below merely indicate the approximate ratings for these 20700 batteries when I tested them. Any battery that is not an authentic Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic, or Sanyo battery has the potential to alter unpredictably! This is one of the risks associated with using "rewrapped" batteries from other manufacturers, so it is crucial to research any battery you are contemplating purchasing thoroughly.
Conducting tests on batteries at their limits is hazardous. Under any circumstances, it should never be attempted by individuals who have not extensively studied the associated hazards, comprehended the risks involved, possess the appropriate equipment, and taken all necessary safety precautions.
If the battery displays only one current rating figure or solely states "max," then it must be assumed that it is rated at that current level for any discharge type, including continuous.
Efest 21700 10A In Conclusion
Even though Efest has slightly overstated the capacity of this cell, it performs well like the Efest 18650 200mAh, surpassing the 10A Samsung 48G and 15A Sanyo NCR20700B in terms of total vaping time at low power levels, below 7A/20W. It is a rebranded version of the LG M50 cell.
The cells I evaluated provided 4900mAh and 4957mAh at 1.0A (0.2C) until reaching 2.5V. Neither cell achieved its 5000mAh rating. Each cell should easily surpass the specified capacity since it represents the minimum guaranteed value and should not be considered the maximum achievable capacity, even if you are fortunate.
The LG Chem rates the M50 with a minimum of 4,849mAh and a typical capacity range of 5,014mAh; therefore, this Efest battery still meets LG's specifications.
The ratings of this Efest battery are 7.3A and 4900mAh.
Two cells were generously provided for testing purposes by Brad's Vapor. Many thanks!
