The two cells tracks fairly well and can easily deliver the rated 4A with only a small capacity drop.

[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

This battery is one of the highest capacity 18500 I have seen to date (6-2020) and it can handle a fair amount of current, without being a high current cell.

Thank you for the test!

This is a pretty amazing cell, finally, two 18500 cells have more energy that a good 18650. Great choice for a 7.2v incand setup
