There are variety of choices in 18650 battery made in china. The 18650 is not a consumer standard, the channel that reaches consumer is chaos and mostly illegal (some are disqualified waste from factory, some are disassembly from electric waste). The reliable way to get those is to place order in batches to qualified factory or get them from disassembling qulaity yet cheap power bank like XiaoMi.

I recently was inspired to do my own tests. I found the same results. The Japanese batteries were 10 years old, salvaged from old laptops. After two weeks of testing, they all tested the same and within 80%+ of their stated capacity. The newer Chinese batteries gave me as little as 10% of the rated capacity.

I'm using an EFest 18650 battery in my vape mod which works fine, lasts me about a day of normal vaping using a 0.6 Ohm load. Tried several different Samsung blue and green batteries and they weren't any better. It depends on the application, including load and amperage draw.

I would like a hammer test on these. I work in electronics recycling and these 18650 batteries starts like 99% of fires at our factory. I would like to know if some are more prone to bursting in to flames when mangled than others or if it is just dependent on their charge state. If you do test it, do it outside on a windy day, the smoke is definitely not good for you. Also, don't use water to put it out or have a source of it nearby, it not only worsens the fire but it also creates more of the very poisonous hydrogen fluoride gas that is generated by the burning of lithium hexafluorophosphate.
@skitidet4302
@skitidet4302 Рік тому
@@Ormagoden94 What? The batteries in vape pens are usually lithium polymer, they aren't nearly as bad as 18650. Also, did they get killed by poisoning? There's no way the explosion from a small lithium polymer battery could kill someone unless they held it pressed right next to an artery or something. Or was there a time and place that 18650 was common in vape pens? Those would be a serious hazard and I could see that being able to kill someone.
@maximilianmustermann5763
@maximilianmustermann5763 Рік тому
@@skitidet4302 There are a lot of bigger vape machines that use 2x 18650 batteries. You need those if you want to do up to 200 W sub-ohm vaping (meaning the coil has as little as 0.1 ohm resistance). They are more fun than the pens because they can produce a huge amount of vapor, but they fell a little out of favor because only massive douchebags used them in public spaces. They can basically be turned into fog generators with the right liquid. On the other hand, these are not a danger at all if you buy good 18650 cells like the Murata (former Sony) VTC5 or VTC6 and if you are a little careful with the cells. Put some additional shrink-wrap over them to prevent exposed metal, only transport them in silicon "socks" or battery boxes, and only use good, reliable charging devices. I've been using them at home for many years and never had a problem nor have I ever been worried. I mean, I used to do some rc model drone flying. Those high-amp drone LiPos can give you the creeps. But brand-name high-quality 18650s? No, they're fine. (I never crush them or hit them with hammers)

This channel is using a different way to demonize Chinese, westerners like to fabricate fake video to demonize China and finally fool people with no brain, it is disgusting, firstly, using the CHEAPEST China products to compare to the most branded non China product itself is ridiculous, secondly, the price of the China product mentioned in the video is more than 10 times cheaper in China than the price you mentioned in the video, so who you actually pay most of the price of the product to? The answer is THE IMPORTER AND MIDDLE MAN in your country. The real fact is CCP is already the current biggest high-tech entrepreneur and capitalist in the world, China contributes the most to the world and western countries grab the most with even inhuman measurements, it sounds ridiculous right? Use your brain to think further when you come across anything about China from westerners, western people are too jealous about the returning of the China power and tried very hard to fabricate fake videos, spread rumors to demonize China, shamelessness is continue until they destroy themselves with their inferior personality.

This channel is using a different way to demonize Chinese, westerners like to fabricate fake video to demonize China and finally fool people with no brain, it is disgusting, firstly, using the CHEAPEST China products to compare to the most branded non China product itself is ridiculous, secondly, the price of the China product mentioned in the video is more than 10 times cheaper in China than the price you mentioned in the video, so who you actually pay most of the price of the product to? The answer is THE IMPORTER AND MIDDLE MAN in your country. The real fact is CCP is already the current biggest high-tech entrepreneur and capitalist in the world, China contributes the most to the world and western countries grab the most with even inhuman measurements, it sounds ridiculous right? Use your brain to think further when you come across anything about China from westerners, western people are too jealous about the returning of the China power and tried very hard to fabricate fake videos, spread rumors to demonize China, shamelessness is continue until they destroy themselves with their inferior personality.

@Lics Norgi Okay, lets see how well you do using a foreign language that you have no or limited knowledge of; and on top of that, lets make that foreign language use an entirely different written system, as using a common alphabet isn't comparable from going from Chinese to English. You can't really complain about someone else's use of a language when you clearly don't fully understand the language itself, try teaching yourself some grammar, so you can actually look literate. Things such as capitalizing 'Chinese,' putting an apostrophe in 'can't,' maybe try adding a comma after 'dumb' as well, you might also want to add 'people' after 'Chinese.' Also, when using, "... craps," do you mean to use 'pieces of crap'? Not to mention the, "... fake...,' part of that statement is outright false, what makes them fake? They're an _alternative_ product; if they were fake they just wouldn't work, at all, like a dummy place holder. If you don't understand what an alternative product is, look at name brands and generic brands that offer the same product. Typical hypocritical, uneducated, racist scum, it seems, as you clearly don't know what grammar is, can't form a proper statement, use proper logic, have any kind of informed opinion, and you single out a specific people when the situation could happen to any foreign people. Please, keep your toxicity to yourself. Nobody wants to see your racist, hypocritical, uneducated, and uniformed opinions. If you feel the need to be racist, go seek help.

Believe it or not, farmers can be quite good at this kinda stuff. One thing about farmers is that often times they have to simply make things work, in non-optimal conditions. Some can get quite creative because of that.

Well done. I tested my 18650s about 10 years ago and found all of my 1-2 year old *fires were ~100-200mAh. All advertised 5500+. Those were all tossed. I weighed those too, and noticed the lighter ones had less capacity. You sure went the extra mile on your testing, as usual. Much thorough :D Thanks.

​@@zihaoliu605 "Um acktchyually China makes the best Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries" Shut up, nerd. There are manufacturers all over the world that make LiFePO4 batteries. Yes, most are made in China but so is most everything else we use daily- because it's dirt cheap. And just because they make the batteries for car companies doesnt make them the best. They are in those cars because they were the cheapest that they could get away with while still being Lithium Iron Phosphate.

@@UncleDon226 Yes, Chinese made batteries are cheaper, simply b/c it has the most advanced factories, buying dirt cheap products from anywhere on earth comes with consequences, and you should know only poor buy cheap products, and they are the majority of your society, maybe before blaming China, you should consider why U.S. is heading to a direction of a shit hole country. I don't know how many cars you have but I do have 5, 2 in NY and 3 in Qingdao, and they are all mercedes amg and bmw suvs, I never saw anything related to maintenance batteries, but often made in Germany parts are failing, not to mention made in USA for past 60 years is a joke. For COVID-19, as a M.D. I can tell you it's originated in Fort Detrick, VA, where the first to third mutated strands are found, e-cig pneumonia have the exact symptoms as COVID-19 and some of your soldiers brings them to Wuhan b/c world military olympics. Ford aircraft carrier and many other nuclear submarines left US coast since November and isolated deep down the sea, and US denies WHO to enter US b/c they are trying to unveil where the COVID-19 strand A originated in US.

They're not typos. They're misspellings by people who (barely) speak English as a second language. Lots of people who learn a second language don't learn to spell in that language. They likely genuinely think that's how the word is pronounced and spelled.

They're working off a translation to know what the foreign glyphs mean, but they don't know the difference between an l or an f. They're just copying images. Western tattoo artists do the same thing when copying Chinese characters. They might have some random guide saying what the characters mean, but they don't know how to create them properly.

Your videos are absolutely amazing, companies need to have your rating scale on their products, have you ever thought of creating a rating scale with your initials, and getting with companies on products you tested, to let them know, that they can put your rating scale on their products, as being rated as a top 5 of the (your initials) scale? The more people see and hear your videos, and see this scale rating, the more companies will patreon you and pay you to get you to test their products, so they can get your scale of approval for their products. I can indeed tell you, that I purchased products I needed by brand and your results solely because I had seen their results on one of your videos, because like you said, "you don't always get what you pay for", and that is soooooo frustrating. Awesome video my friend, keep up the fabulous work. 🤠👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
