Old batteries manufactured in 2018 Review by Andrey

Rating

I requested to send batteries manufactured in 2019 or 2020, but unfortunately I received old batteries manufactured in October 2018 - that's 2 years of storage. (Posted on 26-09-20)

Best 25A CDR battery Review by Thomas D

Rating

Don't let the 35A CDR rating fools you, this is a 25A battery.
It's still one of the best tho! I highly recommend it.

Concerning the "why is it not a 35A battery?", here are some explanations and testing done by Mooch, and independant battery reviewer:

- At 30A continuous the temperature rose to 92°C. This is way above the average temperature of a cell running at its CDR and is an indication that we're above the cell's true rating.
- At 35A continuous, what some feel is the VTC5A's rating, the temperature rose to 105°C. This is a ridiculously high temperature and is above my 100°C safety limit. The voltage has also sagged considerably. This is absolutely not a 35A cell. (Posted on 24-04-20)

Very good batteries Review by Alexander

This are very good cells for vaping low ohm coils. I have 2 of them in a mod and vape 120 watts on 0,09 ohm. With theese you are on the save side and they hold also long as the Vtc6 at low ohm vaping. (Posted on 20-08-19)

Best cell for vaping Review by Christina

Rating

10 I did order so far and all work flawless.
I use them in regulated mods and in mech mods.
These are the only cells I use so far which do not have a significant voltage drop in dual battery mods at a high wattage (>200W) , even when they come close to 3.2V (low capacity). (Posted on 15-03-19)

Excellent Review by Rui

Rating

Been using them at around 40 Watts each, and in substitution of 3000 mah VTC6: they last me about the same at those power levels (maybe even a little more), but unlike the VTC6 (at that power), with no noticeable heat buildup! Did not had the time to perform further tests so far, but I can already tell that I really like these cells, with their low voltage drop, great capacity and cool discharge: I probably will use these in favor of my previous favorite, the also excellent VTC6 cell. (Posted on 29-11-18)

The capacity is OK! Second review Review by Anton

Rating

I downloaded the datasheet for this batteries. First, cut-off limit is from 2.5V (down to 2.0V/cell allowed), second - charge end voltage is 4.2V instead of 4.1V (about 110 mah more power). So, for this conditions the average capacity of 2580 mah was obtained. I changed my opinion - the batteries are quite good.
При заряде от 2.5 до 4.2В обнаруживают емкость 2580 мАч. Можно брать. (Posted on 16-11-18)

The capacity is not as expected! Review by Anton

Rating

I bought 15 pcs for different purposes, from 8 of them I built a pack 4s2p. Was wondered, that discharge capacity 4.1V -> 2.6V/Cell by 7-30A overall current (up to 15A/cell) was about 3600 mAh (1800 mah/cell). Charging by 2.2A shows capacity of 4050 mah. Cell pairs in the pack are quite similar in voltage after discharge, so it is seems not to be the prolem of soldering and overheating. To check this I have tested another 4 cells from this purchase, that I have not used yet, without soldering. After discharging to 3.20V and charging to 4.1V the capacity of 1990mah have been obtained. It is far from 2600mah as described! The batteries are not of best quality now! The label on batteries is US18650VTC5A, as I purchased.
Емкость батарей около 2Ач вместо 2.5 хотя бы. Током 35А с ячейки и не пахнет, хотя imax показывает внутреннее сопротивление около 12-14 мОм на ячейку - проваливается напряжение. Хотел сделать легкую и эффективную сборку для коптера, но получилось наоборот. (Posted on 31-10-18)

Ordered 4 sets of these and not all are alike Review by Yogi

Rating

First of, I've ever only ordered from nkon (great and fast shipping) but I have to say that some of the vtc5a's are under performers...like twice as underperforming compared to 2 sets that I ordered...I'm not going to point fingers (that's not what this review is about) but if you notice issues with battery life, let nkon know...more than sure that they will help you out. Only reason for me not mentioning it earlier is that I've moved on to regulated mods (with other kinds of batteries). I'll still buy batteries from here, always will, but (when I bought them) the vt5a's were a gamble, might have changed though.

Above all great customer care and service Review by ASC

Rating

If you’re familiar with Mooch’s reviews, you know you can’t go wrong with these batteries, but my recommendation goes for the supplier. Even though the batteries are not shipped in any kind of rigid case, they are well protected and apart from a minor dent in one the batteries I ordered, they arrived in perfect condition. The supplier was always available to answer my questions. Big thanks to Nkon! Great customer service! Totally recommend! (Posted on 06-08-18)

Best price, fast shipping. Review by CRISTIAN

Rating

I wanted to order 10 VTC5A but they were not on stock, i emailed them and they respond me very fast at 3 AM and they told me that they have 10 pieces to send to me. I made order paying with Paypal and they shipped out in 2 days. I receive shipment in almos 8 days in Romania with their cheapest shipping way. When i oppened the envelope, batteries were not in a case, they were wraped in a protective bag ... anyway, 4 of 10 batteries were a little bit damaged on the side, but they work fine. I had at home some 18650 wraps and i resolve the problem. The price is the best, shipping time is very good but they shoud pack those batteries in a solid box, or a cardboard box for protection. Next time IF i will receive another batteries packed like that and with one little damage, i will return them imediately! Until then i think NKON is the perfect online shop for batteries. Thank you.

Amazing! Review by WiSK

I previously used VTC4 or Aspire "40A" for high wattage single battery mods.

Then I read Mooch's review and saw this new Sony is happy at 25A continuous, not to mention it is 2600 mAh. I tried yesterday on 0.06 ohm titanium build and the VTC5A lasted all evening. (Posted on 16-06-16)

My Sony VTC5's struggle to keep pace with these VTC5A's after voltage drop. These VTC5As keep on going till my mod hit's 0% battery, whereas the VTC5's struggle around 20% life left. Excellent, Genuine and quick delivery. Will certainly buy more of these when required. (Posted on 02-02-16)
