A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Vapcell 25A 2800mAh 18650…accurately rated, a Sony VTC5D rewrap

In my opinion this is a rewrap of the great performing Sony VTC5D, appearing and performing identically to the Sony. It performs slightly better than the VTC5A but not quite as well as the VTC6A.

I am estimating this cell’s ratings to be 25A and 2800mAh.

Two cells were donated for the purposes of testing by Vapcell (https://www.vapcelltech.com).

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