While this cell has a useless large 35A “max” current rating on the wrap it has an accurate continuous current rating. Its capacity rating is slightly exaggerated though.
I am thrilled that the continuous discharge rating (CDR) is mentioned on the wrap but I hate seeing the use of a “max” current rating. I hope Golisi removes the max rating soon.
The four cells I tested delivered 2577mAh, 2580mAh, 2586mAh, and 2600mAh at 0.5A down to 2.5V. Only of the four met its 2600mAh rating and barely at that.
These cells performed pretty well. While the Sony VTC5A outperforms it for the first half of a 25A discharge this cell matches the VTC5A for the rest.
I am estimating this Golisi’s ratings at 25A and 2550mAh.
Golisi wanted our community to know that they have product liability insurance for their batteries. I don’t know the specifics of what benefits this offers to vapers or vendors. Contact Golisi for more information.
Four cells were donated for the purposes of testing by Golisi (http://www.golisi.com). Thank you!

I want to work for the vaping community full time!

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