Anybody find verified sources for these new Panasonic NCR18650PF LiNiCOMnO2 cells ?
Some info I gathered:
same heat layer and internal safety as the CGR/CH.
The NCR18650PF's chemistry is LiNiCOMnO2, the addition of manganese makes this cell a real INR/ICR/IMR Hybrid
slightly higher internal resistance than the PD, but is supposed to run very cool at higher amps, has a slight improvement in voltage drop, bout 50 more mah and is supposed to have a higher cycle performance
18A drain in 5-6 second intervals
Capacity is rated at 2750mah minimum 2900mah maximum
The original release came out in gray jackets, but can now be seen in the green jackets
I haven't taken the plunge, but here are sources, I have no idea if they are real or fakes or any experience with the sellers..
NCR18650PF price:4.44USD/pcs
