Aw imr c rating

[TechJ]

Does anyone know what the c rating of the various aw imr batteries? I've done a little searching and come up empty handed.
I only ask because I hear about different mods having 2-5amp ratings. Wouldn't the output of the battery be a huge factor in how many amps the mod could produce?
For a 1600mah battery to output 5amps it would have to have a c rating of 3.125. Even so it would only have a charge of 1 hour or less. Just trying to wrap my head around how the power claims are extracted from such small batteries.

No. The mod's amp rating is the rating of the circuitry. Regardless of the battery. However, the battery would have to source enough current. An IMR should be able to source plenty of amps.

As far as mAh ratings on batteries...
There are three kinds of untruths, in order of increasing degree of B.S.:
1) Lies
2) Dirty Dang Lies
3) Battery mAh ratings
4) Politics and economic statistics.

Not sure if 3 and 4 can be switched or not... it's close. The rating is supposedly a 1 mA load duration expressed in hours as an indicator of a cell's storage capacity.

C ratings are all over the place too. Best to check the specs.

I deal with c ratings in my other hobby ( RC touring car racing ). My batteries vary from 5000mah 7.4v 50/100c to 2250mah 3.7- 11.1v+ 50/100c. Would be cool to see a mod capable if using a 2250mah lipo battery upto 7.4-8.4v.
My larger batteries are capable of outputting 300amps+ granted at higher loads I get 15-20 minutes of runtime. Just finding the logic behind a 3.7v sub-c battery being capable of putting out repeated 5 amp bursts. Just trying to understand how it works.

I don't know if any of these 2 threads will help answer your questions but here's some good information.

I have seen the value of 15C used many times with 18650 AW IMR 1600mAh.

But as Atty suggested, best to check some specs from Multiple Sources.
