Bottom Line: This “40A” Enook has a ludicrously exaggerated current rating and an exaggerated capacity rating, it is only a 10A 3000mAh cell. At 40A continuous, it delivered only 31mAh down to 3.2V.
Basen did the same overrating with their 40A 3200mAh cell but they used a rewrapped Panasonic. Both cells are among the most overrated I have ever seen…shameful.
This Enook’s appearance is identical to the 10A 3200mAh LG MH1 but it has a lower capacity than the MH1 and performs worse. It seems to be a lower grade MH1.
I am rating it at 10A and 3000mAh. The 18650 ratings table has been updated to include this cell.
IMPORTANT:
– There is no 18650 that can have a factory/manufacturer rating over 30A.
– There is no 3000mAh 18650 that can have a rating over 20A.
– There is no 3100mAh-3500mAh 18650 that can have a rating over 10A.
– There is no 18650 with a capacity rating over 3600mAh.
