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, LG, Panasonic, or Sanyo can change at any time! This is one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” batteries 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. 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
This cell has a useless 30A “max” or “pulse” current rating on the wrap. While the cell lists its 10A continuous rating in tiny text its max/pulse rating is shown in much larger text.
Any “max” or “pulse” rating is useless unless we know the length of the pulse, the time between the pulses, and the criteria used to set the rating (Voltage sag? Temperature? Run time? A combination of those?). Without knowing this, and all companies using the same pulse lengths, rest times, and criteria, we can’t use the max/pulse ratings for comparing any batteries. They are useless.
The plastic white top ring insulator is quite thin and doesn’t come to the outer edge of the cell. This could be a concern if you have a mod or charger that is rough on wraps.
This cell’s appearance is identical to the Samsung 48G. I estimate this Imren’s ratings to be 10A and 4800mAh.
Two cells were donated for the purposes of testing by Brad’s Vapor (www.bradsvapor.com). Thank you!
Comparison to Samsung 48G
Pulse-Current Test Results
No pulse testing was done as this appears to be a rewrapped Samsung 48G.

I aplaud the above paragraph, too many think one push of the button is a pulse.
