It says it'll be available at the end of 2011. Good find! I currently use Sanyo 18650s 2800 mAh in my lights and lasers.

The highest capacity 18650s I've seen so far are those Ultrafire BRC 3000 mAh, but they seem be sketchy.

right now, ncr18650 still too expensive for just another 300mAh for me to justify buying. Still want, though.

I have a 16500 or something with 3.7aH, but I have no way to test it.

I think we're talking about 18650 form factor. 3.7Ah 16500? I'd be skeptical...

@Fenzir: What brand is it or production code?

@random person: Capacity for the 18650 form factor.

Come on guys you know better then this.

None of those ultra high rated ____fire batteries are up to spec. The only true to their spec cells out there really are the ones harvested from laptop batteries. There may be some others like AW etc that are close but anything found on DX or other chinese site will be over rated.

Yikes! After Sony's bad history on Li-ion CATOs, I'd hate to see one of these go BANG! Apparently Sony still relies on it's Shenzhen factories to make them. But I am skeptical of a battery that size putting out nearly 4A of current.

hmm... don't know about this.
