Hey guys, when i got my first APV i got a battery with it, the problem is that i have no idea what brand it its so i can look up the amp limit and such. Does anyone know what brand this is? its a 18650 and the only markings on it is displayed in the picture i attached.

Any info at all would be greatly appreciated.

Also, i didnt know where to post this so im hoping this is the right place.

EDIT: the embedd got messed up, hoping this will fix it.
EDIT2: Alright, ive never embedded an image on a forum before so sorry, it works if you copy and paste the URL into the browser manually (e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=315306&d=1394810841)

Yup, wouldn't surprise me at all. I had a couple of no-name batteries that said 'IMR 1600 mAh'. It's a good bet that if they don't say IMR they are not. And 2800 mAh leads me to think ICR too.

If they are unprotected ICR they are downright dangerous. These are the ones that burn violently when abused, AKA 'explode'. Not worth the risk.
