Orbtronic PD-18650

Fenix ARB-L2 18650 2600mAh Discharge test.

Here is an interesting battery. This is not a high drain (IMR or Li-Mn if you prefer) battery but it's protected for over currents and temperature.

The test was performed with a 1A charge current as Fenix recommends but i didn't used  the 3V cut off but the normal 2.75V.

Take a look on the temperature of this unit. On 1.92C (5A) Discharge the battery has reached 60 Celcius and the analyzer paused to let the battery cool down. The protection didn't kick in so i guess it goes further but no need to risk it.

It's a neat battery for flashlights anyway, in most cases you do not need to discharge at higher C ratings.

Testing bigger batteries

Sanyo Eneloop (AAA) 750mAh discharge test

Out of the box they gave me 100.5% when discharged the second time. Excellent performance.
Here is the data Eneloop AAA 750mAh

Sanyo Eneloop XX (AA) 2450mAh 1C discharge test

If not the best, probably one of the best batteries on the galaxy.

This battery straight out of the box gave me 91% and then after a charge it gave me 97.9%. I'm pretty sure if cycled one or two times more it will reach 100% or more but i am having the analyzer testing two AAA eneloops right now so i may test later.
