This is a high current 26650 cell











The two cells are nearly a perfect match and capacity is constant up to 20A discharge. At 30A the cell has trouble keeping up the voltage (It need to heat up first) and the capacity goes a bit down.





The batteries get very warm at 30A.















[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

These batteries are good at high current, but are not the best in capacity. This make them good for high current application where the most capacity is not that important.
