It's 18500, I was having same problem as you finding the amp rating but I think there rated for max 3 amps...when the heck are they going to start making better 500/350 batteries, 2600mah for 650, best 500 is 1100mah...1700mah would of been perfect

lol at 3 amps you would blow your hand off. these are only 700 mah so you might need a couple to last a day but they are higher amp rateing, they cliam 10.5 but unsure of the real world figures but think its the best so far. maybe just do .7 builds or just use it in 18650 and buy some sony 30a.

I like EH LiMn204 batteries. I have 8 18350's that I rotate and have never had a problem.

do you go as low as .5 on your builds, recommended no lower then .7.

.8 is as low as I go with 18350's

Fjgotgame:

Many moons ago, I was in the same boat as you. I saw how cheap the Ultra Fire and Trust Fire were and assumed they'd be safe enough for use in a mech without doing any research. I came dangerously close to injuring myself while (unknowingly) testing the limits.

Thankfully, ECF was there to show me the error of my ways before I ended up in the E.R.

As said above, steer clear of any battery with "fire" in its name. It's foreshadowing right there in the brand name.

Good to see you figured things out without paying the price in lost appendages

Just wanted to get something off my chest. Not directed at you in particular. I just get a bit ticked off when people say they've been using this and that battery with no issues. Thing is... it's when you GET issues you want to be using safer chemistry batteries.

Juggling chainsaws is perfectly safe until something goes wrong
