Also, the rating is higher than what they claim. Supposedly the new efest 2800mah ones with a 35a constant/80a pulse are these rewrapped. I don't imagine it being toooo far off. I have both and are good. They don't heat up at fast and as much under high load from super sub builds.
I've seen tests going up to 30A. They can do 20 A continuous just fine. 30A discharge caused a permanent capacity loss after the first run, so basically that high an amperage is damaging the cell. No way I'd go over 20A with them. They were breaking their neck to compete with Samsung and had to compromise by putting out a cell with less headroom for over Ampage than their previous efforts in my opinion.
80A pulse would just be daft with these. LG don't specify that it can be pulsed, and just giving an amp figure for a pulse spec doesn't make sense. A pulse is a specific amperage for a specific time period.
Plenty better batteries to super sub ohm with than these.
Most of the extra capacity comes from LG specifying a cut off voltage of 2V for the HG2 rather than the usual 2.5V. Thus means most of the increase over 2500mAh cells lies in the portion where the cell is dropping from 2.5V to 2V under load. Since we never get the cell that low, we aren't going to see a huge capacity increase. Maybe 200mAh if we're lucky.
They're a decent cell for a box mod of 60W (single cell) or 120W (dual cell) but they're no super sub ohm battery in my opinion.
Just my opinion though, and opinions are like arse holes, everyone has one.
