I don't know anything about the CGR18650CH but looking at it on amazon it seems to have similar if not the same limits as the aw imr. Someone with more knowledge will be by at some point to help out more.. I know I only really want to get AW's I think they seem very reliable and safe from what I've read and seen. jmo though.

which bat would give more useable life and power at 1.5-1.8 ohm load? i have the cgrs i was wondering if i should sell em for the AWs.

IMO you're not going to see much difference with the batteries you're talking about at that load.

If it were me, I would continue to use the CGRs until they wore out and then re-evaluate for the next set of batteries.

Your builds of 1.5-1.8ohms don't need any high amp batteries. You can pretty much use any high mah battery out there and would still be safe while having life and performance.

True, but I believe you should still use IMR or IMR/hybrid batteries, rather than protected ICR batteries. You'll get higher mAh with the ICR's, but they are not high drain nor safe chemistry. IMR/hybrid batteries are high drain & safe chemistry.

Those Panasonics and AW's mentioned are both of the high-drain safe-chemistry variety. The Panasonics (2250 mAh) should get longer time per charge than the AW's (1600 mAh).
