Panasonic, AWT and Sibeile 18500 batteries.

[Deleted]

I normally use Sony and Panasonic 18650 batteries in all my devices, but I'm looking for some 18500 size for use in a mechanical mod.

Anybody had any experience of any of the above all listed here from Ecolux

I've only heard a few mentions of Sibeile but all been positive. Not heard anything of AWT and the Panasonic NCR18500 is a new one I think.

Going by the standard of their chargers I'd say maybe try to avoid the AWTs.

have tested a few at work and I like them but one of my colleagues has tested over 100 and he says its one of his favourites I will check his input later if I get the time and see if he found any weak points but I don't think he has as my works computer program says Sibeile tester number ************ found no noticeable errors and found them to be a safe reliable battery and all safety certificates can be issued without delay I don't normally state from works computer but because this has now been passed there is no harm done

If I was looking for 18500's I might be tempted to try those AWT's on paper they look good.
Although the NCR's are li-ion they do have some built in passive protection in the form of (HRL)Heat resistant layer and (PTC) positive temperature coefficient NCR 18650
The HRL is supposed to prevent overheating in short situations and the PTC makes the internal resistance spike upwards before it heats up dangerously.
But I haven't looked to see if that NCR has all those features.

Norbert has some Xtar IMR 18500s listed on your link which have 50% higher continuous discharge rate of the Sibeile (12 A vs 8 A), don't know what the Xtar batteries are like, but would expect them to be good.

never worked with a xtar battery so I cannot comment never even seen one to be honest

hijack I found this NCR 18500 data sheet it does say some batteries are not equipped with PCT

There's a post  by baditude in this thread with more info. Although it's 2000mah the rating is only 3.8 amps so a bit on the limit for me.

Cheers ronaldo I might just get a couple of both the AWT and Sibeile to give them a try.

Often looked at the Xtar batteries and wondered why no one uses them, that's what makes me hesitant to try them. They seem to have been around for a long time.

good point I will try for a rummage in the confidential part of the computer program for the info we would all like to know about Xtar batteries

Thanks for the links scoob,

I had found that not all NCR's are the same, some have HRL others have HRL+PCT and others have HRL+PCT+CID or some combination of those. So its worth finding out before you buy.

Ill check out those links now.

Edit: yes just on the low amp limit I would avoid the NCR18500.

I take it this is about the Panasonic NCR 18500, so you like both the Sibeile 18500 & Panasonic 18500 then?

I think the NCR is a no go because of the low amp limit and what safety features it had.

ronaldo had mentioned xtar previous to that post so I imagine he had looked at that site. ???
