SAMSUNG 45T - WORLD'S FIRST TEST // TABLESS? MOLICEL P45B KILLER?
Short version: I had low expectations of the 45T, but Samsung's new 21700 powerhouse cell surprised me with GREAT high amp performance. Is it tabless? Does it beat the Molicel P45B, or even P50B? Find out here!

Since June 2024, I've spent over 300 hours extensively testing the most popular high-power 21700 cells:
Molicel P50B
Molicel P45B
Molicel P42A
Ampace JP40 (LT 22710LA)
EVE 40PL
BAK 45D
Lishen LR2170LA
EVE 40P
Samsung 40T
Samsung 50S
And now - the brand-new Samsung 45T. Just released, this is the first exhaustive test/review published in the world.
The INR21700-45T cell was a bit of an enigma as there's very little info online about it, and it's currently only being sold at one place in the world - Nkon. With an advertised 50A max capability, there's been a lot of buzz about the 45T, with speculation that it might even be tabless. From the spec sheets I could dig up about the 45T, it seemed to be only an incremental improvement over the long-in-the-tooth Samsung 40T and 50S, which frankly perform very poorly in high amp draw applications compared to modern competition like the Molicel P45B / P50B, and tabless cells like the Ampace JP40.
I put the 45T through its paces in this testing, and I was VERY surprised at some of the results. And speaking of tabless, more surprises are in store... watch the video for more info!
Feel free to leave comments and questions; I'll try to answer any questions.
