A 16340 cell from Meco, how good is this brand?

There is not much capacity in the cell, they two cells do not match and cannot deliver much current.

A cell cannot power a 3 Watt load.

[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

This cell is a waste of money.

It looks like they took dead batteries and simply put new wrappers with this brand name on them.
Pretty bad anyhow!

The first clue is the ridiculous capacity rating. Not realistic numbers. Anyone looking for any battery can easily find the realistic capabilities for most any battery with a little quick research. Do just a little homework and you probably won't get ripped off.
