Samsung 25r vs 25c

[Coyote628]

I know the 25r is a 20amp battery use them all the time. I got a pair last year that were 25c. But I cant find info on the amp rating. Anybody know this battery? @Mooch ?

The only thing that comes up on 25c seems to be LiPo cells. So I have no idea what battery you mean.
Now 25r-m cells are quite common.
The "m" simply means that they were made in Malaysia instead of Korea.

Could the "c" be a poorly printed "s"? Is the wrap blue?

I’ve never heard of a model 25C battery. Is this an 18650? Are you referring to a model number or this battery’s “C” rating?

Do you have a photo of the printing on the wrap? if there is a sticker on the battery then peel it off and take a photo of the printing that is underneath the sticker.

I'm almost positive it said 25c. Apparently these are batteries that I properly disposed of already because I can't find them now. They were green wrappers though. Sorry for the confusion.

Good find! He mentioned green wrappers though.

Was the “25C” on a white or silver sticker? Or was it printed on the green wrap itself?

If it was on a sticker then it was probably a “C” rating (an exaggerated one) added by the importer/reseller/distributor.

If it was on the wrap itself with the rest of Samsung’s printing it might have been part of the date/batch code and not the model number. Do you remember if it said “INR18650-25C” or was the “25C” on its own or part of a different number?

I know, but sometimes people remember things incorrectly.

I have a feeling we'll never got to the bottom of this, though, since OP can't find them.

It was on the wrap. But now that I've turned the house inside out looking for them, I guess I just dont have them anymore. But thanks for trying to help. Much appreciated anyway.

Could also have been some fake "Samsung" battery from China.

Probably Samsong or Somsung lol
