It cannot be used to compare this battery against any other.<\/p>\n<p>The 3100mAh capacity of this cell is also exaggerated. It is a 3000mAh cell.<\/p>\n<p>The wrap has \u201cIMR18650\u201d on it but this cell does not use the chemistry associated with the IMR model number prefix. It uses the chemistry sometimes indicated by the INR prefix.<\/p>\n<p>Its appearance is identical to the LG HG2 but this Brillipower doesn\u2019t perform quite as well as my reference HG2\u2019s. It does perform about as well as a lot of the HG2\u2019s being sold now though and better than it did on my previous test when Brillipower was obviously using lower grade cells (something they do often).<\/p>\n<p>I am rating this Brillipower cell at 20A and 3000mAh.<\/p>\n<p>I was very close to giving this cell a Do Not Buy recommendation but the use of cells that were not obviously, but might still be, a lower grade means they are just not a great choice considering what else is available.<\/p>\n<p>The two cells that were tested were purchased for that purpose by me.<\/p>\n<p>Test results, discharge graph, photos: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.e-cigarette-forum.com\/forum\/threads\/bench-retest-results-brillipower-green-3100mah-40a-18650-preposterously-overrated-not-imr.826025\/\">https:\/\/www.e-cigarette-forum.com\/forum\/threads\/bench-retest-results-brillipower-green-3100mah-40a-18650-preposterously-overrated-not-imr.826025\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All my test results to date: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.e-cigarette-forum.com\/forum\/blog-entry\/list-of-battery-tests.7436\/\">https:\/\/www.e-cigarette-forum.com\/forum\/blog-entry\/list-of-battery-tests.7436\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_0563-e1504582018360.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16078\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_0563-e1504582018360.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"189\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"A%20BATTERY%20MOOCH%20POST%3A%20Brillipower%20Green%203100mAh%2040A%2018650...preposterously%20overrated%2C%20not%20IMR\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This cell has \u201c40A max\u201d on the wrap, which is an impossible overrating as there are no 18650\u2019s available with a capacity of 3000mAh or&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[139,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-battery-mooch","category-recent_news","wpcat-139-id","wpcat-15-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16077"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16077\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16553,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16077\/revisions\/16553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
