A friend has these and swearing they are better than his vtc4s he had. I kinda believe it as Aspire is a big enough company they know better than lie and these were orginally designed for the cf mod. My friend blows huge ass clouds using them but says they die quickly.

I could maybe believe these have more current handling capability than a VTC4 since they are only 1800mAh, although I'd still be surprised if that was the case. I haven't actually seen them yet. Anyone want to send me a battery to test? :)

It's true aspire has there own tape machine and is making these in house. The amp rating is real. I think kidney punchers is testing them and they said it looks promising so far.


Also the 25r beat the sony 4&5 in terms of how long they last food for thought. 4 second hit with a .2 build was used on there testing machine

Someone has tested a pair on ecf and they both vented at 30A.

Not conclusive but enough for me to at least steer clear until other tests show them in a good light.

Don't understand how they can come up with that cell from scratch when bug names spend multi millions sometimes more than Aspires net worth in Dev and research.

I got this weird feeling Aspire and HeatVape worked on this cell togather......,remember HeatVape released the VMesh which has built in batteries that push 75amps and 100 pulse. Seem like that would be about right for a pair of these aspires.

I also dont take ecf with much salt since from my experience they dont seem to test anything realistically or in a situation that micics vaping. When jon of liionwholesale gives them a once over I will take his word for it.

They tested the cell the same way he would, by discharging it on a test rig while plotting a curve.

Those Aspire cells are pure bull shit, in my opinion.

Ecf may be chock full of dicks but the battery testing methodology is sound. Just another Chinese company taking advantage of Western willingness to believe anything on a label. Regardless of the discharge test mimicking use in a mod or not, aspire says theyre a.constant 40A, so they should be. Why forgive them lieing just because we.don't constantly discharge a cell? You'll be needing a decent constant discharge if your mod ever starts auto firing.

There's no traceability or accountability when it comes to this battery.

The chinese are bending people over big time as they trip over themselves trying to find as high an amp limit cell as they can.

You're a lot safer buying 25Rs and exceeding the continuous than you are buying Aspire 18650 IMO .

Any chance you have a link to where this happened on ECF? I can't find it.

Nevermind I found the link. ECF blocks all their paying vendors from even seeing some of the forums apparently...that forum needs to get its head checked. I'm also guessing I can't post the link here but I'm not sure.

I'm no longer interested in this cell. One of the guys that tested this pretty extensively, I've talked to him privately quite a lot and he really, really knows his stuff. He's been an engineer in the battery business for many years. His testing methodology is awesome.

These cells very clearly can't handle anything above 30A. 3-4 35A discharges and not only did the performance suck for those tests but it literally kills the cell and it doesn't work anymore.

Even 20-30A discharges seem to show a lot of damage to the cell seen through a big drop in capacity.

It's junk.

Aye, I was impressed with the tests and their presentation.

To think that Aspire if all companies are putting out such junk. This cell is why I'm not buying the triton. Screw Aspire, they obviously want to screw me :)
