This cell’s capacity down to 2.5V is quite a bit lower than the claimed 5000mAh. I measured it at 4775mAh and 4873mAh for the two cells I tested. It seems that there is some cell-to-cell variation. Since the rating should be a guaranteed minimum the rating should be lower than what any cell delivers.
But this Vapcell still runs for about 8% longer than the 4800mAh Samsung 48G when pulsed down to 3.2V at 20A. Their performance is very similar but the cell Vapcell uses holds its voltage up a bit better and that results in a bit more run time.
While similar in appearance and ratings to the Samsung 48G I think this is a different cell. I’ll know more in a couple of weeks.
It runs cool at 10A continuous though. I am rating this Vapcell at 10A and 4750mAh. This is a cell for low power vaping so its very long run time can be effectively used without getting early low/weak battery alerts from the mod.
Unfortunately, this cell has Vapcell’s usual paper top insulating ring so juice spills could damage the ring. Be careful.
Two cells from Vapcell were donated for the purposes of testing. Thank you!
