⚠ 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.

Powers my devices as necessary, and last well over a full day. No complaints!
I am very satisfied with my Sony VTC5 batteries. I received them within 3 days of placing my order. Great prices and fast shipping. IMR will definitely be my go to battery supplier.
As always great batteries at great prices! And I caught them on sale. Winning
This is a great battery for use in v@p3 mods. I would buy this battery again and would recommend it.
Bought to replace one of six cells that failed in a handheld vacuum. Vacuum is now charging and working as new.
Hi. Ordered 3 batteries, rebuilding a maki5a lxt battery pack, when received tested the three batteries as the pack uses 10 cells, a 5x2 configuration. And i want to pair the batteries in the pack. Anyway, Two of the cells have 2700+ mah and the third had only 2400+. So out of the three that I ordered will only use the two.
Charge hold well. Works very well with high amperage flash lights
Good battery very well designed holds charge all day. I use in a Vandy Vape AIO and usually only need to change batteries once a day.
Great product fast delivert
Same Great quality! Last so much longer in my box than others.
Product was delivered on time, quality was excellent and support service exceptional. Nothing more to tell.
I wanted to replace a 10-year old 3-cell battery pack in a heavy-duty bluetooth speaker. I used these cells and the replacement went well. As a bonus, these cells had a higher capacity than the original pack. I would buy them again.

I was totally satisfied with the transaction, and the life of the batteries, is about double of another set that I purchased, from a differnt online vendor, for the same price! I will always buy my batteries here! Also, everything i needed was in stock, as opposed to some of the other places i have seen, with numerous listings, almost ALL out of stock! Love this site, here!
