This is a great performing cell that will give you more vaping time than any other 26650 I’ve tested recently if you are at 20A/60W or lower. At power levels above this the 4200mAh-4300mAh cells based on the YDL 26650D are a better choice. This does NOT include the poor performing, and preposterously overrated, Efest 35A/50A 4200mAh 26650.
The capacity for the two Vapcells I tested was 5870mAh and 5879mAh at 1100mA (0.2C) down to 2.5V. This is fantastic consistency for a China manufactured cell and they easily exceeded their 5500mAh rating. I am rating these cells at at Vapcell’s rating of 5500mAh to prevent confusion but they are clearly higher capacity cells.
Two cells were purchased for testing by me.

I want to work for the vaping community full time! If you feel what I do is worth a couple dollars a month and you would like early access to battery availability, battery and charger testing and news, and a say in what I test, then please consider becoming a patron and supporting my testing efforts: https://www.patreon.com/batterymooch.
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, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, 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.
