This is a high current 18350 cell.

The curves are fairly good, but they do not track perfectly. The cell can deliver 10A when hard pressed, but definitely not 15A.

[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

This cell is one of the good performing high current cells, I would have liked a bit less variation between the two cells, but as long as the cell is used stand alone it is not a problem.

Shockli and Windyfire appear to be using the same 700mAh cell in their 18350 batteries.
