The discharge curves looks fairly good up to 1A, but the batteries do not like high discharge currents.
They are also well below rated capacity.

[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

Capacity is about average for 18350 cells, but current handling is bad.
The cells are useable, but it is easy to find better cells.
