A protected high capacity 21700 LiIon cell.

The two cells match nicely, capacity drops when drawing higher current.

I forgot the temperature sensor on the A cell.

The protection circuit trips at a fairly high current, but it did break my 20A discharges.

[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

It is a good protected cell for currents below 10A (Preferable a couple of amps below) with lots of capacity.
