Just woundering what IMR stands for. Talking about battery cells. i’m sure most of you know. lol
Talking about battery cells.
Oh lol sorry, are you sure you don’t mean IMR, which is a different composition of battery. Meaning lithium manganese battery. These batteries are used in high-drain applications. They still work very well when over 10 amps is drawn from the battery. I’ve heard you can use them with 30 plus amps also. Whereas typicall lithium batteries, 18650’s, are only used up to several amps, meaning maybe 5 or 6, but that’s like the max. Hopefully someone a little more educated in this subject could talk about this.
Yeah thats what i mean lol thanks bro.
Glad to help.
I read somewhere that IMR was a typo that stuck (I and l look a lot alike). The correct abbreviation should be LMR (Lithium Manganese Rechargeable). Really. I read it on the internet. 
There have been several CPF threads on this however and some braniacs say that "I" is used to denote Lithium Ion to distinguish it from Lithium metal (L). Lots of disagreement on this however, which is why you sometimes see different chemistries listed out using their chemical abbreviations, such as LiCo, LiFePo, LiMnCo, etc.
All you need to know is that IMR is used to denote LiMn. It's now ingrained and will never change.
No discussion needed, some people where wrong when they thought R stood for rechargable. It doesn’t, it means Round type.
