Best 26650 Batteries 2024
A look at the best 26650s currently available on the market.
The 26650 battery has been used for vaping for quite some time now. They are 8 mm wider and a bit heavier than 18650s, but make up for their mass in battery life and, in some cases, amperage output. Other uses for these cells include laser pointers, flashlights, and cordless power tools.
While there are still many 26650-compatible vape mods that have been embraced in the last few years, there are no Samsung, LG, Panasonic, or Sony 26650s available now; most are rewrapped cells and are often inaccurately rated. As a result, 26650s are becoming phased out by 21700s, which are starting to become the high capacity vape batteries of choice. Also note that mods that take 26650s will generally come with sleeves that make them compatible with 18650s, which offer many options from reputable manufacturers.
Note
Note: Always practice battery safety when operating powerful lithium-ion cells. Make sure you understand Ohm’s law, especially if using mechanical mods. And only charge vape batteries in dedicated battery chargers.
