An 18650 rated 100A/160A? Do not use this battery!

[Mooch]

DO NOT USE THIS BATTERY!



There is no 18650 rated over 30A that we can buy. This damn thing has the most idiotic and dangerous overrating I have ever seen. Crap like this is a plague on our community.

It is not made in the USA, it is not using the battery chemistry associated with “IMR” batteries, and its 100A/160A rating is only what you might get if you short-circuit the battery (which can cause it to explode).

I have received confirmation from Armageddon Mfg/Immortal Modz hat that they have nothing to do with this battery. It is being sold and used in Asia. DO NOT USE IT IN ANYTHING!

160A?? In a single battery? Even to lie it should exist a limit! [emoji23]

Those are utterly preposterous ratings, not to mention the absurd price.

Of course, for $57 one could get a 100A battery; just buy 10 decent 18650s and parallel them --

Actually, I'm in the process of building an ion drive engine for interstellar travel and this just might be what I'm looking for...

My, oh my! A 100 amp battery!

Heck, that's almost as good as an M-Tech!

Remind me this one:
Maybe they should be rebranded as White Rabbit?

This guy looks like he's about to take off. I'm sure there's a huge battery pack somewhere in that contraption.

The sad part is that some folks will believe this (or not know better).

An accident waiting to happen.
