AW IMR16340 15C 550mAh (Red) 2016







Official specifications:

  • 550 mAh Capacity

  • Nominal Voltage 3.7V

  • Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V

  • Diameter 16.00mm

  • Length 34.00mm +/- 0.1mm

  • Max. discharge 8A

  • Size for reference CR123A

  • Working temperature –10 to 60 Degree Celsius




CR123 sized LiIon batteries that can deliver a lot of current.










The discharge curves looks very goo, the batteries are rated for 8A and had a perfect curve at 7A, but has trouble at 10A. This looks good.





As usual with these small batteries the discharge is done before I can register much heat on the battery can.

















Conclusion

This 16340 battery looks to be a good high current battery.
