That is incorrect. As the MSDS document for the 26F shows, it uses the same &#8220;hybrid&#8221; NMC chemistry as that used in the 25R, VTC4\/5, HE2\/4, and other batteries we consider to be relatively safe to vape with.<\/p>\n<p>NMC chemistry, nickel-manganese-cobalt, is one of multiple chemistries that use the &#8220;ICR&#8221; manufacturer&#8217;s model number prefix. Another one using that prefix is LCO, lithium-cobalt-oxide, which is used in LiPo batteries and is significantly more volatile than the other Li-Ion chemistries.<\/p>\n<p>So while the 26F has a low 5.2A rating, low capacity for an under-10A battery, and I don&#8217;t recommend buying it, it is not any more dangerous to use than other batteries with the same chemistry like the 25R, VTC4\/5, and HE2\/4.<\/p>\n<p>My apologies for any confusion this has caused. Bench test results for the 26F will be posted soon.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/ayuEY<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"A%20BATTERY%20MOOCH%20POST%3A%20I%20was%20wrong%20about%20the%20Samsung%2026F%21\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was wrong!
