I did a search, not much turned up. I did find a seller on Ebay ICR 18650 2000mAh 3 7V Battery | eBay
No specifications list, not even if it is a protected battery or not. Personally I wouldn't use any generic battery in a mod, especially not in a mechanical mod, without knowing any specifications or whether it is protected or not. Use these in a flashlight or throw them away.
DO NOT use these batteries with a Kick. The Kick requires IMR or hybrid "high drain" batteries. There's a large list of recommended 18650 IMR and hybrid batteries in the below link
Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected?
I recommend RTD Vapor as great supplier.

So I recently bought this mechanical mod, came with a fuse and 2 grey batteries which are generic ( ? ) 2000 mAh ICR.
Can anyone help my identify these and maybe offer some specs?
Thanks in advance.

If I had to guess I would say, the little 9 year old that was forced to make that is tired of Americans and their need to purchase material objects and made a small explosive device to teach them a lesson!
but that's just my guess and I have a warped mind 
if you cant identify it you cannot trust it. for me it would end up in the recycling bin at radio shack..
I searched all over the net and all i can find is more threads asking what it is.

thank you...i'm glad i ordered 2 efest batteries yesterday and a new charger. i just need to wait for that vapemail before i use my kick. again thank you baditude.
Hopefully they are IMR Efests (not protected) if you are going to use them with a Kick.
they sure are, at least the description said they where. plus it says it on the battery.
Out of curiousity, where did you guys get these mods with the mystery batteries?

i bought mine at my favorite b&m store.
It is just the new - old Blue mystery battery that is supplied as an OEM for kit sales. Definitely would NOT use it with a kick or without the safety fuse.
This looks like the same battery that came in my k100 kit from FT. https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10004491/1403103-empire-kecig-k100-101-mechanical-rechargeable

They are shown with this KTS mod at bestecigarettesolution.com Not posting a link because that sight, being what it is, doesn't have any further info to provide about the battery either. It's called a "KTS Telescopic Storm" kit on the sight.
I bought mine from a local store. They seem to work just fine, and it came with a fuse...?
But I respect everyone's opinions about safety...especially about safety I should say. Name brand batteries are cheap enough, safety first.
Many thanks to all who took the time to reply.

You know, I'd rather they NOT include ANY battery instead of throwing in a junk battery that could be unsafe. Just saying.
Personally, I stay away from Cobalt (ICR) batteries. Batteries are relatively inexpensive, why take a chance on the unknown? JMO
Exactly. We don't know the manufacturer, we don't know the real capacity, we don't know the tested discharge rates... And If something bad happened you would be in front of Judge Judy explaining something like why you should get compensated for buying a dead used car that never saw a mechanic before you paid for it. (Apologies to Judge Judy.)
They look exactly like the grey trustfire batteries just without the fancy label
