These include &#8220;Discharge Current: 40A&#8221;, &#8220;DISCHARGE CURRENT: 21A\/40A&#8221;, and &#8220;40A&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I am assuming that 21A is the continuous current rating but it also has a 40A (pulse?) rating in multiple places on the wrap. This is unacceptable as that 40A rating cannot be used to compare this cell to any other. It is useless.<\/p>\n<p>This Nitecore appears to be the same cell used for the Basen, Brillipower, HohmGrown 4200mAh-4500mAh cells and it performs like the others.<\/p>\n<p>The wrap is not the standard heat shrink plastic. It is self-adhesive and appears to be similar to Mylar. I do not know how durable it is compared to the wraps being used now by other companies.<\/p>\n<p>This cell says &#8220;IMR26650&#8221; and &#8220;High Drain Li-Mn&#8221; on the wrap but I do not know if it actually uses the same lithium-manganese chemistry used by batteries from the big manufacturers with the IMR model number prefix.<\/p>\n<p>I am rating this Nitecore at 23A and 4200mAh.<\/p>\n<p>The two cells that were tested were donated by IMRBatteries (www.imrbatteries.com).
