AW IMR 18490 (18500) Rechargeable Battery

Product Information

Effective immediately, we are unable to ship lithium based cells (including these) to any country outside the US.

AW 18490 (18500) Lithium Manganese (IMR)

There are 3 categories of rechargeable lithium cells:

1. Red cell, safe/unprotected (IMR - available from Oveready)
2. Black cell, unsafe/protected (LiCo with PCB - available from Oveready)
3. Blue cell, unsafe/unprotected (LiCo without PCB - not available from Oveready)

The 2nd type are popular because they offer the most capacity while being safer to use than type 3. But PCBs use electronics which can break under extreme conditions and like a circuit breaker in your home, PCBs can turn off your cell when you least expect it - sometimes permanetly.

AW Lithium Manganese (IMR) rechargeable 18500:

• Are safer (not needing circuits)
  
• Work when you need them (extreme reliability)
• Are ideally suited for high power applications (over 8 amps)
  
• Deliver faster discharge rates (along with less capacity)

More Power. Go Green. Save Money.

• 18 mm Width
• 49 mm Length
• 3.7 Nominal Volts (4.2v peak)
• 1100 mAh
• Not compatible with unmodified SF bodies
  
  

Please note: In addition to extra energy, lithium based rechargeables have over twice the voltage of 'normal' batteries and will overload many AAA, AA, C, and D battery driven devices. See Sanyo® Eneloop® batteries for these uses.
