New AW IMR 18650 3000mAh 20A

Mmmm........Uncle Rob, how sure can we be this is the real thing? 3000mah for a 20amp battery sounds a bit fishy.
It's probably the LG HG2. All the specs match up.

As far as I know (I might be mistaken), AW is a manufacturer and not a re-wrapper. I'm just concerned that this might be a fake.
I doubt the ones @Rob Fisher links to are fakes as RTD Vapour are authorised vendors of original AW's.
This web site only sell authentic's. Best battery shop on the planet! I can guarantee they are authentic's.
Good to know. Thanks Uncle Rob.
Rewraps are still authentic.
They're just B or C grade batteries, but totally legitimate. Almost never A grade.
I'd still have more confidence in proper A grade LG HG2's
Roger that... my confidence level is still with AW... I guess because his batteries have always had a good following on ECF and with the other Reonauts!
But you have perked my interest and will be trying the LG HG2's! Thanks!
If you check out "Pegasus Vapor Academy" on youtube, he has a a series of in depth battery videos. if you build high, LG makes a battery called the MJ1 thats 3500mAh it has a 10A limit.
Here is a link to a really useful site with battery specs. http://batterybro.com/blogs/18650-w...73059-new-lg-mj1-18650-battery-review-3500mah
Once you get into it, B and C batteries are usually graded as such, because of a disparity in their specs, usually not quite enough mAh. But in some cases their defects are worse, like defective CID's (its the part that's meant to come loose and release pressure in the event of a vent).
I suspect thats what's happened with the recent eFest issues (my 2800mAh ones, are still performing like champs).
That said, I'd be really keen to stock up on some HG2's. I'm mainly running parallel these days (With the exception of my Sigelei 100W). But once i get my iStick 100W which is dual parallel, then i'll be totally converted i think. dual HG2's in parallel should net me approximately a 30A limit, which I'm comfortable with, as I'm estimating the mod won't draw more than 20-25A

AW is a rewrapper. He buys batteries from manufacturers and tests them all to his specs then puts his stamp of approval on them for sale. He is one of the most respected rewrapped brands because of the testing he does before he puts his name on the cells. AW = Andrew Wong.
Certain defects are hard to test for such as defective CID's.

Great find @Rob Fisher
My time for a battery restock is coming soon
If our vendors get these in, i will definitely buy a few
