0:00 - INTRO, TESTING 3 NEW SAMPLES
6:32 - BIG PRICE DROPS
14:44 - P42A PRICING
20:54 - P45B PRICING
23:21 - P50B PRICING
26:13 - CAPACITY LESS THAN ADVERTISED
31:26 - CONCLUSION - A COOLER CELL?

Since June of this year, I've spent over 300 hours extensively testing the most popular high-power 21700 cells:
Molicel P50B
Molicel P45B
Molicel P42A
Ampace JP40 (LT 22710LA)
EVE 40PL
BAK 45D
Lishen LR2170LA
EVE 40P
Samsung 40T
Samsung 50S
And more

When I first produced the big Molicel P50B test video, the cell's test results left me a little disappointed. Thinking maybe I had an underperforming sample, I mentioned the results would be updated as soon as I had more cell samples (from different batches) available to test. Finally, they are here! In Part 1, I tested 3 more P50B samples and show the results in this video (the spreadsheet is updated too).

In Part 2, you'll see some VERY exiciting news (if you're a battery builder, or plan to buy a battery pack soon) about price drops for not only the P50B, but also the P45B and P42A. You can now get these cells for amazingly low prices.

In Part 3, I show that all is not perfect in Molicel land, however... I test every Molicel 21700 I have here (all 3 models) down to the abusive, but factory-spec'd voltage of 2.5v, and show that NONE of them met their advertised capacity. (Yes, ambient temp for most tests was about 22C, not the ideal 25-27C, but still that shouldn't make a huge difference.)

Finally in Part 4, you'll see how Molicel has maybe shifted thieir marketing approach for the P50B from more power, to more cycle life than the P45B due to less heat gain. But does it really stay much cooler?

This video - and the test results - are not sponsored by Lishen, Ampace, EVE, Molicel, or anyone. I paid for all batteries, and all the test equipment, out of my own pocket. Plus investing hundreds of hours of my time into the testing. The results are genuine and unbiased.

Feel free to leave comments and questions; I'll try to answer any questions.
