I'm still getting a lot of messages and questions on FB regarding the green Imren's that have been talked about a lot recently so I did some testing.
There are at least two versions of the green Imren 30A 3500mAh battery. In my opinion, one is a 10A 3300mAh Panasonic NCR18650GA and the other is a 10A 3500mAh LG MJ1. Each Imren's appearance is identical to its match and the Imrens' performances are about equal or worse than their match.
The voltages of both Imren versions completely collapsed when discharged at their 30A rating. Imren could perhaps say that it's a pulse rating. But if that's true, why not label it as such? Using "max current" is confusing and leads people to think it could be the continuous current rating.
For this short set of tests, I didn't do any pulse testing.
In my opinion it's best to treat this as a 10A battery and vape with it at 30W or under unless you check your battery temperature often to make sure it's not getting hot.
More complete testing of this battery will be done after I finish the 26650 and 18350 testing.
