Herro!
I searched around in the assorted PV topics and PV Accesories subgroups for a battery specific subforum but could not find anything. I apologize to the admins if I was blind.
Also, browsed ECF and Google for even a mention of these batteries and they were only mentioned once in one thread and weren't discussed. I was just browsing around on illumn.com and came across them:

http://www.illumn.com/batteries-cha...18650a-2000mah-high-discharge-button-top.html
They claim: 30A continuous, 2000mah, IMR High Discharge/Drain.
I wanted to see if anyone has used them, let alone heard of them... I haven't heard of Nitecore producing or even re wrapping high drain 18650 batteries before seeing this. I have their i4 charger and it has served me well, but I've seen that plenty of others have had issues with their chargers which makes me wonder about these.
I can't find any testing information on them and it looks as though they are only carried on two sites. They seem like they could be a re wrapped VTC4 like with Xtar, but who knows.
It would be awesome if there was a new and tested 30A battery on the market that performs up there with the VTC and AW lines.
What at do you all think?
Thanks for reading and taking the time to respond.
