Hello veterans,
I'm trying to find the maximum discharge rate of the (below) posted battery. I've searched through a few pages of Google and all the sites I've found it on don't list this with the other pertinent information. Does anyone know where I can find this info or know if it's safe for sub-ohm or vaping at all?

UltraFire is one of the most counterfeited batteries around. Even if you find a max output rating for them you won't know if your batteries are the real deal.

Here's a thread about this topic from Candle Power Forum, the flashlight folks. IMO those guys are more into batteries than we are.

It's a very informative thread. Personally, I would not use your batteries in a PV.

The specifications I was able to find for them have it as Discharge: Current = 0.5C which for a 3000 mah battery would be 1.5 amps max current.

These would NOT be a good choice for vaping at a normal 2.5Ω - 3.0Ω range, let alone sub-ohm setups. A flashlight maybe, but there's better ones out there.
