Official specifications: Sibeile%20IMR18650%203100mAh%20(Black)-info

The cell used can be discharged down to 2.5 volt, in my test I only discharges to 2.8 volt, i.e. I do not measure the full capacity. But then, not all lights will be able to use the full capacity.

After shipping the samples to me, some print was added to the box.

The batteries are marked "IMR Li-Mn", but I doubt it, the perform is exactly like the Panasonic 3100mAh batteries and they are not IMR cells.

These discharge curves are very good.

Conclusion

The batteries looks like they are based on a very good Panasonic cell, but I do not like they are marked IMR.
