IMR 18490 1400mAh?

[DGr1zz13]

Hi I'm currently searching for high mAh batteries for the 18350 and 18500. I came across this 18490 Brillipower 1400mAh battery. Does anyone know if this is for sure a high drain battery? Because it does say IMR...Also is this a good brand?

Its not a brand I have ever seen used before. It does appear to be a high drain battery but I havent been able to find its C rating or max discharge, so I cant tell you its limits.

Anyone know if this IMR battery brand is any good? Or whether the 1400mAh rating is an exaggeration?

Do you have a link? I get my batteries from rtdvapor.com. They sell quality products & ship pretty fast as well.

Why not use something like an AW IMR battery that has been proven to work well in e-cigs for an extended period of time? The extra 300MAh of these batteries looks attractive, but total MAh is not the only measure of battery performance or even usable capacity.

I use AW IMR batteries from RTD Vapor.

Just trying to get the best bang for my buck they aren't much more expensive. Not really sure what else to measure a battery by since a lot of the time with these batteries max discharge and amperage aren't stated so it can be hard to measure.

I get the desire to get the most bang for your buck...but that adage only holds true if you don't have issues with the batteries. If you do, you're going to have to spend more money than just going with an AW in the first place.

Personally, I'd rather spend a bit more, get AWs, and know that I'm not going to have any issues.

Get batteries that you can find the amp rating for, otherwise you'll never know if you're safe using them or not. Also, mAh rating doesn't say much in itself, even when accurate. For 18650s, batteries such as the Sony vtc5 (2600 mAh) and the LG he2 (2500 mAh) have more of their capacity in the useable 4.2-3.5v range than higher capacity batteries such as Panasonic's 2900, 3100, and 3400 mAh. Try to find tests and discharge curves.

No name batteries might be OK or even good, but as reliable information isn't available you'll never know.
