This Vapcell is identical in appearance and performance to the other 5-“leg” top contact 3000mAh 20700’s that I have tested from Ampking, Efest, EBAT, Keeppower, EnerCig, and iJoy.
Vapcell clearly marks this cell with an accurate continuous current rating, which is fantastic and should be done by every company.
But, as the other 5-leg cells have done, this Vapcell is overrated in capacity. It delivered 2916mAh and 2929mAh for the two cells I tested. I am rating this cell at 30A and 2900mAh. This is very frustrating considering the accurate current rating. There’s just no need for this exaggerated capacity rating.
Two cells were purchased for the purposes of testing by me.

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