Which is the best 18650 to use to recell Milwaukee M18 5Ah batteries?

[@riceball777]

when i build my milwaukke m18 batteries i try to use the best cells and for 18650's i use molicel p30b and for 21700 i use either the samsung 50s or the molicel p50b

vtc5d, or from your selection the molicell i guess. i would love it if murata would make a tabless 18650 to make t.ex makita's lxt platform great again. i usually use 20r or 25r because i often get them for free. vtc6 hold up in makita 1860b, so thats fine. i often see failed 30q with popped cid's even in 3p tool batteries, so would not recommend.

Worst to best Samsung 30Q - easy to find expensive Samsung 25R - easy to find cheep LG HG2 - not so easy to find expensive VTC5 - easy to find cheep VTC6 - easy to find expensive to much fake offer P28A - not so easy to find but usually good price VTC5A didn't show but this is best cell to use.
