$20.25

Decent performance across the board, but dangerous behavior and unknown cell origin make this a no-go.

Ratings

Honesty
0.5 / 5

Actual capacity is 3.2 Ah, vs advertised 12 Ah. Complete lie.

Durability
3.1 / 5

Decent tool contacts and otherwise solid electrical and mechanical construction.

Capacity
2 / 5

3.2 Ah is not good.

Power
2 / 5

Middle-of-the-tier-list performance; but a cell exploded under normal operation.

Safety
1 / 5

A cell vented (a minor explosion) during the performance test, which should be within the "operation as usual" envelope.

Cell notes

No credible manufacturing data found. Potentially part of RJLD / Jiangsu Runjin Lithium Battery.

Cycling Test

We cycle the batteries at high-power (800W for 20s on, then 20W for 6s off) to reflect their actual usage in high-load scenarios like circular saw use.

Cycles survived: 8 | Failure mode: Battery thermistor reached cutoff

Capacity Test

We measure the amount of usable energy the pack supplies from 100% to 0% charge.

Capacity: 57.7 Wh (27% of stated 12 Ah @ 18V Nominal)

Pack Internal Resistance Test

Pack Resistance: 76.5 mOhm (average value of pack resistance between 17.5 and 18.5 V)

Failure Test

The battery is stepped through 30s at increasing current levels, ignoring safety features like temperature and voltage warnings, until the pack fails catastrophically.

Energy discharged: 29.1 Wh, Peak power: 865 W
