Efest IMR26650 3000mAh (Blue)



Official specifications:

• Nominal Voltage: 3.7v
• Battery Model: 26650 Capacity: 3000mAh
• Positive: Flat top
• Cycle Life: 500 Cycles
• Max Charging Rate: 4.5amps

This is a IMR cell with low internal resistance.









The cells does very good up to 10A, but 15A is to much.















Conclusion

The cells has only about 2500mAh capacity, this is low for a 26650, you can get 18650 with more capacity, this does not make this a bad battery, but a battery designed for a special purpose.
If you need as much voltage as possible and a lot of current, this is the battery, especially between 5A and 10A.
At the current time I can only rate them acceptable, because Efest is a new company, and the batteries is not from one of the big brands.

Efest has sometimes specified 5C for their IMR cells, but in my tests it varies, some of their batteries are very good and some more average.
Your link is correct.
