I see 3100 mAh Panasonic model NCR18650A LiNiCoO2 NNP cells advertised online for $9.97 (counterfeit?)
Wonder how they and the new AW 3100 mAh cells perform compared to those in your tests here?

Some websites show:
- Built with Panasonic LiNiCoO2 NNP cells.
- Powers up a WA1185/1111 with a single click.
- Three triangulated raised dots ensure solid cell to cell connection when used in series.
- PCB protection against overcharge/ over discharge / short circuit.
- Safety vent with thermal cut off protection.
- Heat Resistance Layer (HRL) technology that forms an insulating metal oxide layer between the positive and negative electrodes. The layer prevents the battery from overheating even if a short circuit occurs.
