    These tests below only note the ESTIMATED ratings for these batteries at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, or Sanyo can change at any time! This is one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.

    Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of personal injury or property damage. They are not meant to be used outside of a protected battery pack. Never exceed the battery’s current rating and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition.

    Testing batteries at their limits is dangerous and should never, ever, be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved, understands the risks, has the proper equipment, and takes all appropriate safety precautions.

    If the battery has only one current rating number, or if it only says "max", then I have to assume the battery is rated at that current level for any type of discharge, including continuous.

    Bottom Line
    Another AWT cell deserving a Do Not Buy recommendation for the outrageously exaggerated current rating on the wrap.

    This appears to be a rewrap of the pre-production LG M50 which is rated at 10A. This AWT is identical in both appearance and performance to the M50.

    Two cells were purchased by me for the purposes of testing.

    Performance Specs
    - DC Internal Resistance = 30.0mOhms (milliohms) average for two cells.
    - Total energy delivered down to 3.2V at 10A continuous = Not measured
