A IMR battery in CR123 size.










These batteries can deliver about 3A, this is a lot of current for this battery size. The capacity is not matched (They seldom are for 16340).















Conclusion

The performance is as expected for a IMR cell. I will rate these batteries as acceptable.
The difference between the cells means that it is best to avoid using the cells in series.
