18650 Battery Flat high quality replacements

Kilohercas

Hello.
I am developing some battery powered electronics for my motorcycle. 18650 batteries are great, but they are big, and holder does take up PCB space.
What is good, is you can get very high quality 18650 cells. They can have High capacity as well as be mechanically safe.

Is where alternative to good flat batteries ? I need something in 10Ah range, fast charging ( 6A lets say) and could provide 2A of peak current and also have good life.
Any ideas ? eBay is filled with cheap stuff, and it just does not look as a good option to me to buy it.

    Hi Linas, I recently did an experiment where I bought several brands of the 18650 off the internet and tested them against their rated mAhr labeling. Just about all of them had a max 1200 mAh measured…

    You could probably look into name brand 18650 batteries, such as Panasonic, Samsung, etc.

    Question was for flat batteries. I can get top quality 18650 in store, but not for flat batteries.

    Did a bit of research, most of those brands are at least 10Ah, some even 15, 20 and 30.

    You could also consider car batteries...
