AW IMR 18650 1600mAh (Red)



Official specifications:

• Nominal Voltage : 3.7V
• Capacity : 1600mAH
• Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V
• Standard Charge : CC/CV ( max. charging rate 4.5A )
• Cycle Life : > 500 cycles
• Max. continuous discharge rate : 15C
• Operating Discharge Temperature : -10 - 60 Degree Celsius

This cell is designed for high current and can handle up to 24A according to the specifications.



The batteries are shippend in a small plastic box.









I have tested with discharge currents up to 20A and the battery handles it without problems.





The battery might be useable up to 24A, but do not expect a long runtime, it is less than 5 minutes at 20A.









With the low capacity they are fast to charge and I could have charged them much faster if I had used the maximal charge rate.



Conclusion

The battery is good battery, but with the low capacity it is mostly for special high current applications.
