AW IMR 18650 in sight?

[Nos]

I dont know if it has been asked before, but does someone know when AW will sell the IMR 18650 cells?

 

[AW]

Very soon ...... within days.

Whats IMR?

 

[Nos]

when my calculations are correct, it should be possible to pull 50 watts out of a cell, right? :naughty:

Whats IMR?

Jaa, what exactly is it?

So they're high amperage Li-Ion cells?

So they're high amperage Li-Ion cells?

They're not Li-Ion, they're LiMn (Lithium Manganese).

Man, I just graduated to regular 18650s with the purchase of a 2x18650 C to M head Leef Body, a 1x18650 Leef Body, and I just had an M4 body bored out to fit 18650s.

Now I wonder what the heck I could do with 1 or 2 x IMR18650s?!?!?!

Could these power a 64623 bulb and how many would it take?

So these are "safe" batteries, that lack a protection circuit, and if short circuited: "will release tremendous current"?

Will these (18650 version) ever get an over discharge protection circuit?

AW IMR18650s are now available here.

Interesting comment.

AW, what happens when these cells short out?

 

[cchurchi]

Would charging (3) IMR18650's at a time in series be dangerious?

This is the charging method for Wolf-Eyes Storm, Boxer, and M300 lights using their battery cartridge.

 

[AW]

When shorted. The IMR cells can dump up to 20C current which will melt the shrink wrap and damage your setup due to external resistance. The cell will be killed as well. NiMH/Nicad/Lead Acid cell all behave the same when shorted. No explosion / vent with fames with the safe IMR chemistry. A pcb will add up to 60mOhm resistance to the cell and hinder the performance considerably.

They are safe chemistry and can be use like NiMH cells and you don't need a protection circuit for NiMH cells.

Interesting, thank you.

I was more concerned with overcharging one of the cells if charged in series because the charger has no way of knowing what the individual voltage of each cell is. I assume these cells will last longer if charged individually.
