Battery Question

[ratchet62]

Not directly REO related, but I know I can get a good answer here.

I have 2 batteries that I can't get a clear amp rating on.

One is a purple Samsung ICR18650-22A, with an additional line that says 2C13. Is this a 2 C rated battery at 2200 mAh?
What is the max amp rating of this battery?

The other is a green NCR18650B Li-Ion MH12210. Not sure about manufacturer as there is no name on it. I believe this is a protected lion battery and I think I found information to indicate its only rated for 6.8 amps. Can someone confirm this? Obviously if it is, I'll be taking it out of my sons rotation on his mechanical.

i did so much homework before i finally jumped into mechs like my life depended on it (pretty much does). as for batteries there was really only 1 that is accepted as standard vtc4/5. I play with fire and run purple efests (rewrapped false amp rate but they perform for me, and i stay under 30 amps)
vtc 4/5,mnke for under 0.3 and my efest purple above 0.3

The first one is 4.4 amps. The second one is indeed 6.8 amps. Neither is, in my opinion, vape appropriate.

I know nothing about this battery but the math is as follows.
IF it is indeed a 2c .

2200 mah divide by 1000= 2.2, 2.2 times the C rating of 2 = 4.4 amps

If it is a 22A battery then the C rating would be 10
2200 mah divide by 1000 = 2.2, 22 amps divide by 2.2 = 10

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't think these were appropriate for our uses but wanted to double check.
