4PCS 3.6V 3400mAh Protected ThruNite® 18650 Li-ion Battery for Flashlight

Customer Review

Actually, these batteries are based on Panasonic cells (NCR18650B) and therefore belong in theory to the more powerful batteries in the market. Unfortunately, a non-optimal PCB is apparently built which probably increases the internal resistance here.

In practice, this means that the battery voltage immediately above average breaks when used in a very power hungry lamp such as the NiteCore TM26 and the battery then reaches only very short maturities, and can not provide their full light output lamps. The nominal capacity of 3,400 mAh is achieved only with consumers to 0.5A. Even when consumers draw 3.0A discharge current, the actual capacity is only around 1,800 mAh. ThruNite advertises the battery but with possible discharge currents of up to 7,0A ...

Otherwise, the batteries are very well made and fit easily in all lamps that I own. No have to worry users who do not use the battery in absolute high-performance devices. Since this type of battery behaves discreetly and provides sufficient power.

For power-hungry as the lamps NiteCore TM26 or the ThruNite lamps TN36 or TN32 these batteries are unfortunately not a good choice. Although they work "somehow" and bring the lamps also glow, but not for long and not even with the maximum power. In this respect, the application of the provider with discharge currents of up to 7A and suitability for high-performance flashlights is to question. The lamps of ThruNite I guess really, but of the house battery should currently do not put your fingers.

My review refers to the way the battery with 3,400 mAh ThruNite. The lack of high-current capability of these batteries has also been noted by experts and there are well-documented in relevant forums in accordance with tests. There intersected the favorable ThruNite battery with 3,200 mAh incidentally from less bad ...

Much better experiences I've done with the batteries Keep Power, based also on Panasonic cells (NCR18650B), but have built a much better PCB. Interested in these batteries are also happen to be.

Conclusion: The revised version of 3.400er ThruNite batteries while looking "chic" of, technically but unfortunately a big step backwards. We can only hope that ThruNite can revise the PCB and in the future offering batteries that the ThruNite luminous monsters as TN36 & Co. are also grown.

Finally, a small request: You use the tuning button! So you contribute to a better orientation regarding usefulness of all reviews.
