What he said! I need to build my brother in law a 3C Mag1166 and these would be ideal!

[AW]

Capacity is 2300mAH. Other data will be posted as soon as they are available.

AW, these IMR cells are amazing. I have a MJP 15-3 which has a modded KL4 head as a host with a 15watt 6 die Ostar LED in it. I tried it with my McGizmo EN Mule Clicky pack which is a single CR123 sized body. With a single IMR16340, it works at full brightness levels. Simply awesome pocket rocket. Granted runtime is very short, but it's long enough for short use. I just swap out for a freshly charged IMR16340 often.

I agree! The 18650s are so darn powerful, I actually had to add resistors to a torch with 3 MC-E emitters in it because the batteries' voltage (2 of 'em) just wasn't sagging under that 30+ Watt load!

Finally, I can have an MC-E powered at full blast on my keychain in a single 16340 clickie! That wouldn't be possible without one of these IMR jobs.

By the way, a word of caution to anyone using the Trustfire TR-001 charger with the IMR 16340 batteries... that charger, despite having green/red LED indicators, does not stop charging at 4.2V! I just pulled a 16340 IMR from the left charging bank of my TR-001 and it measures 4.57V! It must have been the protection circuit in my other batteries that was causing the light to change to green, and not any voltage cut-off built into the charger itself. I don't know if mine is defective or if they're all like that...

Luckily, my 1A 18650 charger does cut off at 4.2V exactly, whew! I guess I can use that with spacers to charge the 16340 IMRs as well, considering their max charge rate is much higher than Li-ion cells.

I'd like to try one of these pending the arrival of the 26500's .........

AW, can I use 2xIMR18500 in SureFire 9P (6P+A19 one cell extender) to light up Malkoff M60? Thank you.

[AW]

Timson : Order shipped. Thanks!

UWAK :You'll need a bored body to use the 18mm cells. Running IMR18500 cells with a M60 wont gain any benefit over runtime/performance compared with protected cells.

[xcnick]

Do you have IMR 14500 or plan to get them?

[AW]

Not at the moment.

Do you have IMR 14500 or plan to get them?

[strideredc]

what size d mag would fit 3 or 4 c cells for when AW starts selling them?

[strideredc]

AW what about D cell IMR,s? sorry if anyone has asked...

[AW]

Sorry, no plan for IMR D cells yet.

[mr.snakeman]

Hi AW, a question: you state that the nominal voltage for these cells is 3.7v. and the lowest discharge voltage is 2.5v. but then, in your cautionary remarks, that recharging empty cells (resting voltage ~3.6v.) should be done as soon as possible to avoid damage. Shoulden´t this be ~2.6v. instead? Please advise. Thanks

[AW]

3.6V ( unloaded ) = 0%
2.6V ( loaded ) = 0%

The difference between voltage under load or resting. The nominal voltage of the IMR cells is 3.7V under load but 4.2V open ( fully charged ).

Are these cells as safe as the li-po cells? Or is there still a risk of them venting with flame / exploding?
