Most are marked 600-700 but really are in the 550-600 range. Xtar 600mAh are normally 550mAh and those are good cells

Well then that's just stupid. I might as well stick some wires in a potato and use that as a battery rather than spend 20$ on a bunch of lackluster batteries.

Yeah there really isnt a need for high capacity 16340s so no one has put much effort into it. I do foresee that in the near future there will be higher capacity 16340s due to the recent explosion of those dumb vapor/e-cig craps

NiMH. Different chemistry. That's only 1.2V as opposed to the 3.7 of lithium. Convert to watt-hours for a similar figure.

Good point, if you compare Li-Ion to Li-Ion then you'd be looking at 14500 which are around 700mAh
AA=14500
AAA=10440
AA=14500
AAA=10440

Those are said to only give 1500mah under the best conditions.
And who knows, maybe they have worsened in quality since that test was performed.
Moral of the story, buy some pannies!
i love my pannies!:beer:

Hahaha this whole exposure might boost your sales Larry
I only own Pannys and Sanyo for 18650s. Have a nice MKNE 26650 and getting a few King Kongs. All my 16340s are AW or Efest IMR. Oh crap I just remembered I have some crapfires in 10440........need to get some Efest 10440s!!!!
I know I'm a few days late to the conversation, but I love my efest 10440's

What about the UltraFire 16340 880mAh batteries? Are those garbage too? I have a pack of 4 rechargeable ones and I hate to just throw them away, but I don't want anything exploding on me :undecided:

Afaik, this random cell crap is only with 18650s. I have a few sets of ultrafire 16340s that i store FAR away from everything just in case but I dont use them ever. I use the Efest 16340 & 10440, Sanyo 14500, MNKE 26650, King Kong 26650, Sanyo & Panny 18650.
I dont think the 16340s suffer from this lack in quality, still not the best quality due to the brand, but afaik the 16340 are a less "wanted" size so they are scamming people on the highest demand cells; 18650s

I've got a few ultrafire "880mAh" 16340s and they tested from 550-600mAh so they're not totally useless.

I have an ultrafire from when i started the hobby that has the plastic taken off, so it is useless. I will take it apart tonight and see what i find
I hope it doesnt explode on me :evil:

When the wrapping falls off they are not useless, re-wrap it. I have a bunch of Sanyo 18650's that are laptop pulls. The wrapping gets slightly wrecked in the process so I just ripped it all off and reshrinkwrapped them
