Bench Test Results: Vapcell Black K40 – 30A 4000mAh 21700…about equal to Samsung 40T
Test Report Summary: This is a good performing cell, about equal to the Samsung 40T down to about 3.1V. Below that voltage the 40T will run for a little longer than the K40. The Molicel P42A performs a little bit better than both the K40 and 40T though. The 45A “max” rating of this Vapcell is useless, ignore it.
This is not a Samsung 40T rewrap! I do not know what cell they are using though and I do not know how this cell’s cycle life (overall life) compares to the Samsung 40T.
This is a long cell, about 70.6mm with about a 21.3mm diameter, and it has a slightly recessed top contact.
It has a slightly recessed top contact.
The two cells I tested delivered 4005mAh and 4007mAh. This is great consistency and I am rating them at 4000mAh.
I would prefer to see these rated at 3900mAh by Vapcell though since the two cells I tested cannot be the lowest rated ones in the batch. The big manufacturers like Samsung, Murata, LG, etc., typically rate their cells a decent amount below the lowest capacity you will measure for any cell. For example, the 3000mAh rated Samsung 30Q typically delivers over 3100mAh.
These cells were donated for testing by Vapcell (www.vapcelltech.com). Thank you!
