Best 14500?

[berfles]

I have a Reylight Pineapple coming and since I can't find the orange Shockli 1040mAH that seems to be highly regarded everywhere, what is a good battery for this light?

Be aware that I've noticed a couple batteries that had incorrect discharge specs listed.

Vapcell are getting some great reviews.
Here's one....

Always worth checking HKJ's site for his others....

I'm using their 16340s - very nice.

To be honest, I don't know enough about batteries to follow his reviews. I usually just go down to the conclusion, but I wish there was a ranking of sort.

These two you guys suggested look good though, thanks. I'll assume the Pineapple isn't a high discharge light, would those only be ones like my modded MT07vn that are high lumens with multiple LEDs?

How many amps does your Pineapple pull at full blast? Or to put it another way, what's the emitter and how many Lumens?

No idea, I don't have it yet, but it's the 6000k XP-L putting out about 700 lumens.

You can use my table for ranking: https://lygte-info.dk/info/batteryIndex.html

Select the battery size you want, then sort on the current you need.

It is not perfect, but the you can easily get a list of the best performing batteries.

I use eFest purple in mine. The interesting thing is I have four cells that I have purchased in the last six months. Two of them are 650 maH with 9.7 amp max draw, while the other two are 1000 mAh with a 10 amp draw. Oh, and two have black insulators around the front button, and the other two have white ones, but off of the top of my head I can't tell you which is which, and I'm too lazy to get up and look right now.

Thanks. I'm still not sure what current I need though, if I sort the chart by the mAh 3A column does that give the best performing cells at the higher discharge rates?

Yes, for 14500 3A is fairly high rate.

The purple eFest run well in my MicroMag (8-ish Amps ? turbo)
