New Trustfire IMR Batteries (18650 & 18350)

[hazarada]

Whenever i read trustfire i think about their "4000mAh" 18650 thats actually 1500mAh. I'm guessing these 2 will be 562mAh and 300mAh respectively...

I wouldn't recommend any kind of battery that has the word fire in it's name

You commonly see a lot of "don't use anything with fire in its name" without any reason given as to why. I always wanted to know why not. I agree with the recommendation, but still wish that people would shortly say why when they make it. For my part it's because fire-brand batteries are notoriously unreliable so you don't really know what you're getting. You might get a good one that's actually up to specs, but you might get one that has nowhere the mAh or amp tolerance promised (if you even can find info on the amp rating). So it's a gamble, and as we're pushing our batteries hard it's a bad gamble.

The following was posted on the fast tech site under the comments section concerning these batteries. The poster claimed to have gotten the specifications directly from Trustfire:

"Got the actual specs from the manufacturer, here is their post -

"Hi Kurt,load ratings in amperage is as following:
IMR18350 4amp
IMR18500 6.5amp
IMR18650 7.5amp" "

Now this is second hand information so take it with a grain of salt. Even given that the specs are accurate, they are sub-par given the specs of an AW IMR, or even an Efest IMR.

All batteries are created un-equal when made in the battery factories. Andrew Wan (AW) knows this as a fact. He buys huge numbers of batteries from Panasonic and the other big manufacturers in Japan. He and his staff test each of these batteries individually. The best ones are chosen to be sold as AW, with the red wrapper and the AW hologram sticker. You pay more for AW for this service, and can be assured that it is one of the better batteries on the market. Is knowing this worth a couple bucks more per battery? Only you can answer that.

There's kinda of a Running Joke on the Flashlight Forums.

And that is if you take the Specs for a ____Fire Battery and cut them in Half, you have a Pretty Good idea of what you are getting.

LOL
