FT having a 'giraffe'

[Q]

Oh if only it were true!!!!!
Is it April 1st?

Battery Capacity (Mfg Rated) 5000 mAh
Battery Chemistry Li-Ion
Battery Feature Rechargeable
Battery Form Factor 18650
Battery Rated Voltage 3.7 V

[Q]

I'd love to know if anyone can tell what they REALLY are

Looks like a fire starter to me mate, that's way over powered imho. Maybe rebranded samsungs and the printer was drunk ? !

ICRs and no sign of a protection board at the base, so they could well be 5000mAh. Could possibly deliver a max 2 or 3 Amps (pulse). Certainly not for vaping, but then FT ain't all about vaping
I said possibly - 

For those skim-reading: NOT FOR VAPING!!

This battery faff is too confusing !!! I'm sticking to eBay torchy and ecolux. Better to be safe than half blown up

But short of someone with the correct test equipment buying & testing how do you know?? it's a minefield out there

[Ripshod]

It's a minefield I know. But 5000mAh ICR batteries delivering 4Amps plus are all over the various torch forums - like this one.

But the batteries we're discussing here are Chinese batteries aren't they??

yes, in the torch section though.

That's the point, they're not for vaping!!

High capacity = Low DRAIN

Yep, I know, I was just saying its not just FT that are selling them as that was the thread title 

[Ripshod]

I'm not surprised FT are selling them. They sell the LED torches too.

I'm sorry. I may sound flippant at times. But why is everyone so surprised at FT selling 5000mAh torch batteries??

[letsavit]

Cool, 100000 mah in my flask I might make a whole day without a charge...

As Ripshod said
High capacity = Low Drain or Low Current

or to put it another way "there's no such thing as a free lunch",
the highest capacity high current batteries ATM are 2500-2600 mAh.
