How to tell if my batteries are protected or not. Bought a Vamo V2

In the manual it states.

Protected type Li-Ion batteries will not work in this device – the over current protectionrenders them unusable as they usually have a current limit of 2.5 Amperes and this deviceuses current higher than that figure.. Please use High drain Safe rated batteries with no on-board protection for optimum use of this device.
Recommended batteries are IMR / AW type cells.

These are what I have
