Vapcell ICR14500 1000mAh (Gold) 2018

Official specifications:

Type: Flat top
Nominal voltage: 3.60V
End-of-charge voltage: 4.20V
End-of-discharge Voltage: 2.50V
Typical Capacity: 1000mAh (0.2C discharge)
Min capacity: 950mAh (0.2C discharge)
Weight: Max:23g
Internal resistance: Max:60mOhm (AC 1kHz)
Standard Charge: 500mA,CCCV 50mA cut-off
Charging Time: 3hours(standard charge)
Quick Charge Current: 1000mA
Max Continuous Discharge Current: 3A
Operating Temperature: Charging, 0°C ~ 45°C, Discharging, -20°C~75°C
Storage Temperature: -5°C~35°C
Storage Humidity: <75%RH

This is a new generation of high capacity 14500 cells.

The discharge curves tracks nicely and the 3A rating looks to be about right.

Conclusion

This looks like a good high capacity 14500 cell, it handles the rated 3A current nicely and it do not fall flat if more current is drawn.

Notes and links

The battery was supplied by vapcell for review.

HKJ, thanks for the review! Finally some improvement over the "standard" Sanyo 14500. Any guess about cell manufacturer?

Another thing - looks like you pre-build charts are outdated:

Any plans to keep them up-to-date?

And thank you for all the great work you do!

They have been out of data for some time, the program is my chart software cannot make nice charts with the amount of batteries I have tested.

Some have asked if I could do a table of tested batteries with parameters, I may look at that next year.
