Calculating max safe amp draw?

[EmeraldLeo1982]

I have in front of me a unknown brand "LIR 18500 1400mAh 3.7V" battery with a blue wrapper. It has a 1C rating as far as I've found. I'm trying to figure out what the max safe amp draw of this battery is. To find out if it will be safe to use in my SVD.

Any help is much appreciated. It's even more appreciated if you can show me the formula for calculating this or a link to a tool or something.

If its only rated for 1C, I personally wouldn't use it.

To figure out your amp draw just Google "ohms law calculator" plug in you voltage and resistance and hit calculate

Edit: the C rating is for continuous amp draw, so 1C means you can continuously draw 1 amp safely. I'd recommend getting some good IMR batteries like AW.

I've got an AW IMR 2000mah 18650 and 18350 AW IMR 700mah. But I also got this blue LIR 18500 and just wondering about the amps it could put it. and I use the rapidtables.com ohm's law calculator.

The C-Rating of the battery defines the maximum draw (in amps) that the battery is capable of. To calculate the max amp draw you need the C-Rating and the mAh of the battery. For example a 2000 mAh battery rated at 10C would be:

Max Amp Draw = (mAh / 1000) * C-Rating

(2000 / 1000) * 10 = 20 Amp Max Draw

Note: Running your batteries at their C-Rating will decrease the overall life of the battery.

The C-Rating also indicates the amount of time the battery can support that discharge rate. A 1 C battery can support the calculated draw continuously for 1 hour. 2 C would be 1/2 of an hour. 10C would be 1/10 of an hour.

IMO no 1C battery is appropriate for vaping.
