This must be a fairly new high capacity cell from LG.

The battery can deliver up to about 10A. The capacity do not match the rating, but then I do not discharge to 2.5V.
I am a bit surprised that the cells do not match perfectly, usual they do from the big brands.

At 15A the battery gets too hot.

[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

The battery just about matches other 3500/3600mAh cells in capacity and performance



[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

Is this a real model? I can not find any information about this cell online. Also the performance does not seem better than for example Sanyo NCR18650GA.

I had the same problem about finding information, but I suppose Vapcell knows what they are sending.
