Does anyone know the actual continuous amp limits for the following? Purple efest 35a, green imren 38a, and yellow mxjo 35a. I unfortunately haven been able to find any Sony ' s and I don't plan to push these batteries extremely hard but I would like to know what the true amperage ratings are so that I'll know how low I could safely build

Both the Purple efest 35A and the MXJO 35A appear to be using the same battery cell which is the LG HE2 (20A/35A 2500mah) the specifications match and the external appearance of the cells match exactly with the wrappers off. Battery data spec sheet for the LG HE2 cell states that for a continued drain of the entire charge the maximum rating is 20A. That sheet also shows that for shorter drains of less than 60 seconds it is capable of discharging 35A and does have a good discharge curve, I have personally pushed 35A on the LG HE2 cell and it performed very well, I have been using a couple of them for about five months now.
Edit: Little to nothing is known about the imren battery cells, I've not had much luck tracking down anything on them.

Ironically enough I just posted about these three batteries in the new members forum (very negative effect although I did not phrase what I was asking so well lol) I work in a b and m and use all three of the mentioned batteries and this is what I have found IMO:
green imren 38 amp 2500 mah, great punch in the beginning and then they sag very quickly and do not last very long at all
yellow MXJO 35 amp 2500 mah, not as much punch but they last a little longer than the green imren by about 2x
purple efest 35 amp 2500 mah, good punch and outlast both previously mentioned batteries but these are confirmed by this forum, myself (now that I peeled one lol) and also my battery supplier for my shop as just rewrapped LG 18650 HE2 batteries and IMO when you get the LG version the QC is better than what efest will allow to slip by. Plus you can get the LG HE2's for cheaper than all above mentioned batteries so it is kind of a no brainer lol. I have run all of these batteries down to .12 in tests in a single battery mech mod and also run them to a .06 in a dual parallel box mod (mech) so this has been my experience, although I do not usually run this low, just for testing because I need to know for my customers sake. I usually run all three above mentioned batteries all day at around .15 with no problems besides what has been previously listed. These are not necessarily bad batteries just not as advertised.
