⚠ Important Safety Warnings
Improper handling or misuse of this lithium-ion battery can result in
FIRE, EXPLOSION, or THERMAL RUNAWAY,
causing personal injury, property damage, or death. Users must read and
follow all safety guidelines before purchase and use.
Click here
to review the full safety guidelines.
Critical Warning: Never carry loose batteries in your pocket,
purse, or bag. Loose batteries can come into contact with metal objects like
keys or coins, causing a short circuit, which may result in severe burns, fire,
or explosion. Always store or transport batteries in a protective case or box.
Intended Use: This battery is designed for integration into
protected battery packs with a
Battery Management System (BMS) or
Protection Circuit Board (PCB). It is not intended for standalone
use or use in devices such as e-cigarettes or vaporizers.
What is Thermal Runaway?
A dangerous chain reaction where heat generated by a failing battery causes
it to overheat further, potentially leading to fire or explosion.
Causes: Overcharging, short circuits, physical damage, or exposure to high temperatures.
Prevention: Use a smart charger, avoid physical damage, and
store batteries in a cool, dry place.
Storage & Transport: Always store batteries in protective cases
or boxes to prevent accidental contact with metal objects. Never store loose
batteries in pockets, purses, bags, or near conductive materials.
Inspection: Do not use if the PVC wrapper,
terminal insulator, or casing is damaged, dented,
leaking, or bulging. These are signs of internal damage or instability, and
continued use could result in failure, fire, or explosion.
Charging: Use a smart charger designed specifically
for lithium-ion batteries and ensure that the charger's voltage matches the battery's
specifications. Never overcharge, over-discharge, or leave unattended while charging.
Prohibited Activities: Do not short circuit, modify, puncture, crush,
expose to liquids, or solder directly onto the battery (spot weld only).
Emergency Response: If a cell shows signs of thermal runaway (smoke, swelling, hissing, or heat), stop use immediately and, if it can be done safely, move it to a non-flammable surface (e.g., concrete or sand) away from combustibles. Lithium-ion cell fires are Class B fires — use an ABC/dry-chemical extinguisher, or douse with large amounts of water to cool the cell and prevent spread. Do not rely on a small spray; thorough cooling is required, and cells can reignite from residual heat, so monitor the area afterward. (Class D extinguishers are for lithium-metal batteries, not lithium-ion.) For any fire beyond a single small cell, evacuate and call emergency services.

Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 138 reviews.
Perfect fit in my portable oscilloscope and multimeter and power last longer after upgrading from the old 2500mah other brands battery power last for days im happy with them.
I have always used these batteries! I love them! IMR is my go to when I need new ones. Super easy to order and always arrives quickly. Highly recommend the battery and this awesome business!!
Website is very easy to use and the batteries are a very good priced. I enjoyed ordering from them. I will use them again. And the product is very quality built.
I usually don’t leave comments, it makes me feel like I’m buying and selling the product.
That said, I like buying my Efest batteries from IMRbattries.com it’s convenient and the service is great. I know you guys must think I am selling batteries; the fact is I don’t sell any. I buy them in batches paint and date them and when they start spending more time in the charger than in my devices, I give them to my kids.
Thank You guys, for offering to sell batteries at a reseller price but I don’t sell. I am including a picture of my Sigelei and SnowWolf collection. That I don’t sell either. Thanks Again, Russ
The efest 3500 mah with the 20amp max 10a constant, is 90% of the life (time from 4.2v down to 3.6v) of the mxjo 3500 mah 20amp burst 10amp constant, but the efest does hit (amp) about 5% harder than the mxjo on a mechanical mod with no chip and dual 4 wrap Clapton's at .14 ohms
Great quality. Longest lasting battery out of the 3 other batteries I own. Will definitely buy more and recommend to anyone who is looking for more vaping time on a single charge.
These are the best batteries for my need, and the price was much better than elsewhere. (especially if you go with a larger quantity). They carry a good charge, last a long time, and charges fairly quickly. They were packaged well and delivered promptly. Very satisfied with purchase.
So far the customer really like the Efest 3500mah batteries , bcz it is extremely powerful and unusually slender! Most high mah with high amps are normally wrapped super thick. Which dont fit very well in some of the vape devices we sell!
thx, Christy M Musso
Needed 18650s for a custom battery pack for my electric skateboard.
The high mah rating was real. After testing I was able to determine the quality of these batteries.
The EFEST IMR 18650 is possibly the best on the market.
