Product Description:
Unlock extreme power for your demanding devices with the HIBATT IMR16340 3.7V 600mAh High-Drain Li-ion Battery (2-Pack). This is a true 15C / 8A continuous (12A peak) discharge power cell, designed specifically for applications that require massive instantaneous current rather than long runtime.
Unlike standard 16340 cells that prioritize capacity (900-1000mAh), the HIBATT IMR cell is built for raw performance. It delivers stable, high-voltage output under heavy loads, making it the ultimate choice for high-lumen tactical flashlights, drone motors, RC models, and laser devices.
To provide maximum flexibility for your projects, we offer this battery in 3 terminal styles within this single listing:
-
Button Top: Raised positive terminal, perfect for spring-loaded compartments in flashlights.
-
Flat Top: Bare flat terminal, ideal for custom spot-welding into battery packs.
-
With Solder Tabs: Pre-welded nickel tabs on both ends, ready for direct soldering onto PCB boards.
CRITICAL WARNINGS (Please read before buying):
-
Capacity vs. Power: This is a 600mAh high-drain cell. It is engineered for burst power, not long endurance. If you require extended runtime, please choose a standard 900-1000mAh 16340 cell instead.
-
Voltage Compatibility: This is a 3.7V cell (fully charges to 4.25V). It is NOT compatible with devices strictly designed for 3.0V CR123A batteries. Please verify your device's maximum input voltage.
-
Terminal Selection: Please carefully choose your terminal style. The "Solder Tabs" version requires a soldering iron and is NOT for spring-loaded compartments.
Key Features:
True 15C / 8A High-Drain Power: Delivers a massive 8A continuous (12A peak) discharge, providing instant high current for motorized equipment and high-lumen optics.
600mAh Optimized Capacity: Specifically balanced for high current output, ensuring stable voltage even under heavy load without overheating.
3-in-1 Terminal Style Versatility: One listing offers three distinct connection options (Button Top, Flat Top, Solder Tabs) to suit any repair or DIY project.
Durable & Reliable IMR Chemistry: Built with high-quality IMR (Lithium Manganese Oxide) chemistry for superior thermal stability and low internal resistance.
Convenient 2-Pack: Each order includes 2 identical batteries, perfect for powering twin-motor drones or having a reliable backup for your tactical gear.

FAQ:
Q: Why is the capacity only 600mAh? Other brands have 1000mAh!
A: Because this is a High-Drain (15C) power cell. To deliver 8A of continuous current safely without overheating, the chemical composition must prioritize power over storage capacity. If you need long runtime, choose a standard 900-1000mAh 16340.
Q: I want to use this in my standard flashlight. Will it work?
A: Yes, BUT only if your flashlight is a high-power tactical light that draws >2A of current. If you use this in a small low-power flashlight, it will just work normally but won't last as long as a 1000mAh battery. Please note this is a 3.7V battery; ensure your light supports 3.7V.
Q: How do I choose the right style?
A: If your flashlight has a spring, choose "Button Top". If you want to spot-weld it into a pack, choose "Flat Top". If you are soldering directly to a circuit board, choose "Solder Tabs".
Q: How fast can I charge this battery?
A: It supports a maximum 1A charging current. Using a 1A charger, it will be fully charged in roughly 40 minutes. We recommend using a dedicated 3.7V/4.2V Li-ion charger.
Q: Is this battery protected (with a PCB)?
A: No. This is an unprotected IMR High-Drain cell. It relies on your device's built-in protection circuit. Do not over-discharge it below 3.0V, or it will be permanently damaged.
