Battery for HL 532nm 200mw

[noladave]

Just purchased a 532nm 200mW from laserbtb.com and am wondering the best battery for it. Looked around a bit and couldn't find the best answer. They take the 16340. I have already bought the one linked below, but making sure its ok and if there are others that can be recommended.

Amazon.com: EagleTac Protected Li-ion 16340/RC123A Rechargeable Battery (1x16340): Electronics

those will work, but I like AW IMR 16340's, its what i use in my HL532. link to some on ebay. IMR refers to the chemical makeup of the cell. IMR's have increased output over li-ions, so while it may have a lower mAh rating, they can output more "juice", if you will. And, they are just generally more reliable than those cheap chinese death trap batteries (avoid anything ___fire- trustfire, etc).

EFEST/AW..
I would say they are about the same; Especially when used in a 200mw 532= low Amp draw.. but if it was a C6 M140 at 1.6A, One of them may be better for the high ampers draw..

They are rewrapped cells from china. Sometimes dead or leaking old batteries, just with a blue trustfire plastic sleeve on them. Sometimes they are smaller little cells inside a metal cylinder. Look around, someone here made a thread a while back where they took a trustfire 18650 apart. Pretty crappy, dangerous stuff. They probably get good reviews because they are cheap, and people dont know what they are getting, its just "hey,this battery cost 2 dollars and works in me ecig, so 5 stars!" Kinda thing

arent most batteries from china anyways? been using them for years never had any problems.

Most may be from china but doesn't mean some arent made with better quality than others. Same with lasers and anything else. QC is a bid deal. Some production facilities have it better than others and some choose to use better materials and methods than others to make such products.

Ja true..
