The two cells match nicely and can deliver the rated 20A current.

Great cells appears they deliver!

Did Vapcell supply case just for the review, or do all their cells come with zipper hard cases?

Thanks for the review! 🧑‍🎄

HKJ,

In general, how do you decide the charge amperage. I spent a few hours trying to find mfr documentation on all my batteries (from 10440 to 26650), and some charge currents surprised me. A high-discharge 10440 had a higher charge current than a low-discharge 14500!

And, as always, thanks for another great review. I love the details.

When testing I use 1A for all most cell, 1400/16340 and smaller is 0.5A.
As a general guideline you can use something between 0.5C and 1C, high current cells can usually be charged much faster that that.
