A BATTERY MOOCH POST: EBAT 40A 3200mAh 20700…only 30A/3100mAh but bit better than 5-leg 20700’s

This cell is a good performer, outperforming the VTC5A and it’s a bit better than the 5-“leg” top contact cells wrapped by iJoy, Efest, Ampking, etc.

It is rated at 40A where the Wh and capacity specs are on the wrap but the 30A continuous current rating is mentioned on another part of the wrap. Why do this? The 40A rating is undefined and useless.

I could find no mention of this cell on EBAT’s web site or on Facebook.

This cell roughly matches the Sanyo NCR20700A at 10A but the Sanyo is still the better performer at high current levels. This EBAT appears to be the same cell as the Vapcell gold 30A 3100mAh but it doesn’t perform quite as well as the Vapcell version.

I am rating this EBAT at 30A and 3100mAh.

I do not know who has this cell in stock or when anyone will be stocking it. Please check with your favorite vendors or EBAT.

Two cells were donated for the purposes of testing by EBAT (www.ebatpower.com). Thank you!

These tests only note the estimated ratings for these batteries at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic, or Sanyo can change at any time! This is one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” batteries or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.

Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of personal injury or property damage. They are not meant to be used outside of a protected battery pack. Never exceed the battery’s continuous current rating and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition.

Any rating in the tables can change at any time as different grade cells appear on the market or we get swamped with fakes. Please, never assume that the ratings in the table are permanent and will never change! Always download the latest version before considering any cell purchase.
