Do you guys keep an eye on cell Temps when testing?
Never noticed them getting hot when testing on the MiBoxer C4 (400ma) but the Opus 3100 I just got will do 1000ma draw and Im seeing 45-49C on the first batch of cells...
Is that temp too high for 18650s?
Whats the cost off point for temp where it is dangerous?
Would you bin batteries for being too hot under load?
Maybe I just do tests at 700ma?
Oh and I see what you guys mean about the Opus over estimating...
The C4 gave 2273mah & 2275mah on the 2 cells Im testing and they are 2455mah & 2463mah on the Opus...
Thats about an 8% over estimate...
