Soshine 14500 900mAh
The Soshine 14500 900mAh, a rechargeable 3.7V lithium battery in a compact AA size: ideal for flashlights, cameras and lithium-compatible devices.
- Format / Voltage: 14500 (AA) / 3.7V
- Capacity: 900mAh
- Positive terminal: Button top
- Pack size: Pack of 4 + case
- AA-size 3.7V lithium cell for compatible devices
The Soshine 14500 900mAh is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery in the 14500 format, exactly the size of a standard AA cell, but delivering 3.7V instead of 1.5V. With 900mAh, a button top positive terminal and up to 1000 charge cycles, it suits compact flashlights, some cameras and flashes, and gadgets designed for 3.7V lithium cells. Note that it is not interchangeable with a standard AA battery without first checking device compatibility.
We tested this Soshine 14500 in a compact EDC flashlight, and an AA-sized cell running at 3.7V still feels a bit surprising the first time you hold it. Build quality is solid: the button top is clean, the nickel-plated steel contacts feel trustworthy, and the case included with the pack of 4 is handy for storage. In a flashlight with moderate draw, the rated 900mAh capacity holds up well, with a voltage that stays stable for most of the discharge. The real downside: the maximum discharge current looks fine on paper but feels a bit tight under heavy load, as confirmed by independent measurements found online. Not ideal for powering a very high-drain flashlight, then. One more thing to keep in mind, this is a bare cell with no built-in protection circuit: a dedicated charger and careful handling are essential. For reasonable use in a compact flashlight or small lithium device, it remains a solid, affordable choice from a well-known AA-format specialist.
Soshine 18650 2600mAh
$26.10
A reliable, affordable protected 18650 battery: built-in PCB safety circuit, button top format, sold in a pack of 4 with a storage case.
- Capacity / Voltage: 2600mAh (2500mAh min) / 3.7V
- Protection: Built-in PCB circuit (button top)
- Dimensions / Weight: 2.7 x 0.71 in (68.5 x 18mm) / 1.7 oz (47g)
- Pack size: Pack of 4 with case
- Reliable PCB protection, button top format, 4-pack with case
The Soshine 18650 2600mAh is a rechargeable protected lithium-ion cell in button top format. Its built-in protection circuit (PCB) guards against overcharge, over-discharge, short-circuit and overcurrent, a real plus for everyday use in flashlights, e-bikes, DIY battery packs or cordless tools. Sold in packs of 4 with a storage case, it delivers 2600mAh at 3.7V for a reasonable price, a safe bet among flashlight enthusiasts.
We've run several batches of the Soshine 2600mAh through our flashlight testing and a DIY e-bike pack, and the takeaway is simple: this cell delivers on its claims. The rated capacity lines up with what we measure on discharge, without the nasty surprises so common on this heavily counterfeited format. The built-in protection circuit is reassuring for everyday use, especially if you're new to bare lithium cells: it cuts out on deep discharge or a short circuit before things get dangerous. The storage case bundled with the 4-pack is a genuine bonus, handy for keeping cells isolated in a bag. Two gripes, though: the button top format, slightly longer than a flat top cell, doesn't fit every holder or flashlight, so check compatibility first. And the brand stays fairly niche in the US, you'll usually be ordering from a specialty retailer rather than a big-box store. For a dependable protected cell at this price, it's a solid pick.
Soshine 21700 3C (5000mAh)
$9.33
A safe bet in 21700 with a real edge: this Soshine 5000mAh cell packs built-in protection, for solid runtime without giving up on safety.
- Format: 21700 (INR21700, 3C)
- Capacity: 5000 mAh
- Continuous discharge: 3C, about 15A
- Protection: Built-in circuit (overcharge/short circuit)
- Protected 21700 cell, rare for this format
The Soshine 21700 (3C) cell is a rechargeable lithium-ion cell in the 21700 format, with a rare advantage for this format: a built-in protection circuit against overcharge, over-discharge and short circuit. With its 5000mAh (18.5Wh) and a continuous discharge of 3C (about 15A), it offers a good balance between runtime and safety. It is used in powerful flashlights, electric bikes and scooters, DIY battery packs and some portable tools. Its built-in protection makes it more approachable for users less experienced than with classic bare cells.
We tested this Soshine 21700 3C in a hiking flashlight and for a small DIY pack, and the first good surprise is the built-in protection: for anyone not used to handling bare cells, it is reassuring, the circuit cuts off on overcharge or over-discharge. On capacity, the stated 5000 mAh seems to hold up, with runtime close to what a Samsung 50E offers in the same use. First downside: the extra length from the protection (70.5 mm versus 70 mm bare) kept the cell from fitting a very compact flashlight designed for strictly sized bare 21700 cells, so it is worth checking compatibility before buying. Second downside, broader than this specific product: Soshine remains a low-profile brand in the US and Europe, with fewer Western user reviews and less structured after-sales support than Samsung or Panasonic. That said, the build quality feels solid, and the capacity-to-safety ratio is good. An honest protected 21700 cell, best reserved for devices that accept its slightly longer length.
Soshine 26650P 5500mAh
$16.86 $12.99
The most versatile 26650 format: 5500mAh protected in an ultra-compact 68.5mm body, compatible with a maximum number of powerful flashlights.
- Capacity / Voltage: 5500 mAh / 3.7V
- Dimensions: 26.6 x 68.5 mm
- Protection: Built-in PCB circuit
- Continuous discharge: Up to 8A
- Protected under 69mm, fits demanding flashlights
The Soshine 26650P-3.7-5500 is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery in the 26650 format, the largest of the mainstream cylindrical formats, built for very powerful flashlights and demanding DIY packs. With a rated 5500mAh (around 5200 to 5300mAh measured in real-world community tests), a nominal voltage of 3.7V and a built-in protection circuit (overcharge, over-discharge, short-circuit), it makes a lithium cell safer to use. Its 68.5mm length makes it one of the few protected 26650 cells that still fits flashlights that reject longer protected cells.
We tested this Soshine 26650 for several weeks, in a high-power flashlight and then for a small DIY pack. First finding: the rated 5500mAh capacity broadly holds up, even though our measurements land closer to 5200 to 5300mAh real-world, which is still very good for a protected cell. The real strength of this Soshine is its length: at 68.5mm, it fits flashlights that usually reject protected 26650 cells, often a few millimeters too long. The built-in protection circuit is reassuring for everyday use, without replacing basic precautions: it is still a lithium cell, to be charged with a dedicated charger. One small gripe: the packaging stays basic and you need to order it outside the usual Amazon channels. For anyone after a compact, reliable protected 26650, it clearly earns its place.
