do ICR's have any advantages over IMR batteries?

150 charge cycles is depressingly low
Oh well I guess that's the price to pay for high cont amp discharge.

That's terrible considering the average cig-a-like or Ego battery claims it's good for 200-300 charges.

Is this typical for IMR batteries?

I ran some calculations and I can't see how I'd be drawing more than 2 amps with my setups.

I've got a couple of AW 18650 IMR 2000mAh batteries that are nearly 2 years old. Both are in rotation with a couple of newer batteries of the same model. The older ones are lasting about 12 hours, while the newer ones are lasting me all day. About time to put them out to pasture I guess.

FireDragon, if you are using these in a variable voltage/wattage mod, the PWM circuitry might demand up to 9 amps of power depending upon how high of voltage/wattage you run. Why High Drain Batteries?

Aw and others tout 500+ charge cycles. I can attest to that as I've got some aw cells from August '12 that still kick out the power very well. But just like Bad, they are not quite as strong as when they were new.

The Efest 700mah 14500 is rated only for 5 1/2 continuous amps.

I don't know the amp limitations of the L-Rider Mini Lambo (Aquavapor Hybris), but I did do some research and the older Robust was limited to 2 amps.

Absolutely!!! They're WAY BETTER at removing you're entire lower jaw when misused....back in "the day" a good 'ole M80 or Cherry Bomb used to be the "goto" for such work!!
