That battery looks like an ICR type.
As already stated..."no good for vaping"

We use IMR or INR types as they have safer chemistry inside and there is much less chance of flaming out or popping if abused past their limits.
And yeah, do not get your batteries fron e b ay, too many guys sell fakes or clones, not worth taking a chance.
Best to not try to save 1 or 2 dollars on a battery.
Go to a recommended supplier and buy quality.
It's worth it. Cheers.

How is this battrey
s-l1600.jpg

It's sometimes difficult to identify a battery from an image, but we can see the printed letters and numbers on the battery's wrap to form an educated guess.

The "ICR" lettering indicates that it is a lithium cobalt battery. This chemistry has been obsolete for vaping applications for 3 - 4 years now. These are not safer chemistry, and are not considered high drain (high amp rating). Acceptable for a flashlight application.

The recommended battery chemistry now-a-days is either IMR (lithium manganese), or one of the hIMR-Hybrid chemistries (INR - lithium nickle; NCR - nickle cobalt). These are considered a safer chemistry and a high drain battery (high amp rating).
