This battery is a high current battery of a fairly old type.

The battery has fairly constant capacity up to 15A.

Due to the fairly low capacity, the battery keeps a moderate temperature.

I used the capacity while doing these measurements.

[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

The battery is orginally from 2006 or 2007 and was probably designed for use in electric tools.



[size=+3]Notes and links[/size]

Vapcell told me that I was missing some cells in my comparator and they would be happy to supply them.

How is the test done and how to read the charts
How is a protected LiIon battery constructed
More about button top and flat top batteries
Compare to 18650 and other batteries

Over the next couple of months I expect to publish more reviews of older cell, there will also be some never cells that I am missing.
These test is done when I do not have newer batteries to test.

I have ten of these. Been using them for 6+ years with hundreds of cycles. Capacity and ir is still basically the same as when I got them from a ryobi drill battery
