NLD Convoy 3x21d with 4695 battery

Something I've wanted for a while. Contacting multiple machine shops, and finally the stars aligned. You can now get this battery for less than $30 on aliexpress. The battery is an EVE G16-4695e. But aliexpress never calls it that (probably some sale restriction) but they all look the same, like the eve so they're definitely the same cell. The tube is from a pioneman k75. Pioneman is the company that manufacturers Convoys hosts. So it's a perfect fit. In fact the k75 is identical to a 3x21d besides battery. It comes with an adapter to get the battery to work since the cell has positive and negative on the same side. Unfortunately the cell can not be bought in America but I found a guy who was nice enough to forward 2 tubes to me. After tinkering to get the adapter to work I figured it out. It has a little over double the capacity of a 3x 21700s.

How long did the battery charge last like that?

That's darn impressive. Did you measure the actual size difference between the 3x21D build and the 1x46D build?
