Has anyone use this type of lithium ion rechargeable battery that have 1.5 volt output and had good

I am looking for lithium ion rechargeable battery that have 1.5 volt output that have had good results

I see that there are quite a few China made batteries out there ( with different names ) that have this requirement but the claims are not always correct

I have used this brand before Kentli and the results are so-so but the batteries are not cheap

You might get 500 cycles out of them before the run time drops off considerably which they claim 1500 to 2000 cycles

Or the batteries become ( heater cells when are being charged )

I do not think that what you are paying for and what the results you get and how long they last are worth the money

However I did like one thing about these batteries and that is the battery voltage stays constant until the battery dies you just do not know when it going to die

    You are probably better off using one of the more popular Lithium Ion batteries that put out 3.2 or 3.7V and a switching regulator module that provides a constant 1.5V output. Lower cost due to volume, and more stable regulated output,

    I have thought about doing it that way but in some devices do not have the room for either the battery or the buck converter

    Also it hard to find 14430 batteries that are made in Japan

    I was about to suggest these Znter cells but Jim's battery looks better! https://www.192led.com/product/znter-li-polymer-aa-battery-usb-charging-1-5v-1250mah-4pcs/

    I use Znter & OKcell 9v cells and like them: https://www.ebay.com/i/183764871696
