If I hadn’t seen it I would never had believed it.
Efest’s new 20700, to be sampled soon, is being released with just a “Max continuous discharge” rating of 30A on the wrap and on the web site.

If this is the Sanyo NCR20700A or the cell used by iJoy and Ampking, all true 30A cells, then this is very good news indeed! If this is just the 15A Sanyo NCR20700B then I will be very disappointed…to say the least.
Until recently, this Efest 20700 was shown (rendered) with a pulse rating on the wrap. I don’t know what changed Efest’s mind but I’m very happy they did.
I am hoping that this new Efest rating setup will be carried over to their 18650’s as our community sorely needs the companies other than Samsung/Sony/LG/Panasonic/Sanyo to accurately rate their batteries. Especially with the inevitable additional battery regulations coming our way over the next year or two.
I do not know yet when I will be testing these Efest 20700’s.
I do not know yet when or where they will be available for purchase.
As soon as I have any more information I will post it.
