Are these really protected IMR's?

I bought some NCR18650B's the other day and they arrived on time and have charged up to 4.2V nicely.

But I'm a little sceptical... I wanted protected ones, which the advert says they are, but I'm not sure they are?

Also, why does the sticker say IMR on it? :thinking:

I've just asked the seller and he responded with the following chart, which eludes to them being protected...

I don't think they have a protection PCB, But they do have a short circuit protection that all rechargable linthium battery have and it shown as 6.7amp on this cell.

So it has short circuit protection, but no pcb protection for high or low voltage.

I would wait for a more knowledgeable CPF member to reply before contacting the seller.

Why would the seller black out his supplier? That chart says he got them in 2012. Seems a bit sketchy

That table is from my review of the battery and the field shows who supplied the batteries to me. That was obvious not the same dealer as Cooper_GTI bought them from.
