SpaceCowboy:
No Flashlight user needs 25A. These cells are not called pure IMR, but Hybrid IMR which will outperform any AW pure IMR cell when used in everyday high drain applications (Flashlights). When I need real high discharge current cells then I use A123 70A continuous-120A pulse ;)
Talking about AW IMR being able to hold 25A:
Take a good look at this graph at 10A. AW IMR is coming from very reputable supplier-Lighthound. Graph is AW IMR vs. CGR18650CH Panasonic supplied by CK.
Important: I do not want this thread to become some kind of arguing.
People who need these cells will use them, because they are the best for high drain applications. Others will use something else.
This thread is about Orbtronic 3100mAh Li-ion test request. Not IMR. I apologize to OP.
I just saw this thread for the first time and wanted to point out that graph is of a new 2250 versus two old AWs. A later test of a new AW showed a more even/fair comparison.
