This \u201c35A\u201d cell is so overrated I am again at a loss for words. This AWT appears identical, and performs almost identical, to the not-so-great performing Samsung 35E. I rated that Samsung at 8A.<\/p>\n

AWT\u2019s 35A rating is even useless as a \u201cpulse\u201d rating. The first pulse at 35A on a fully charged cell dropped the voltage to under 3.0V.<\/p>\n

The wrap has \u201cIMR 18650\u201d on it but this cell does not use the battery chemistry often associated with the IMR model number prefix. It uses the chemistry associated with the INR prefix.<\/p>\n

I feel strongly that each of us is free to buy whichever batteries we want but I urge you to consider whether or not you want to support a company like this.<\/p>\n

I am rating this AWT at 8A and 3500mAh. For best performance I recommend not using this cell at over about 5A, 15W-20W or so.<\/p>\n

The two cells that were tested were purchased for that purpose by me.<\/p>\n
