[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

The cell has very good capacity for the size, at least for current at 1A or lower.
With the cells not perfectly matches and unprotected it is best to use the one at a time and not in series.



[size=+3]Notes and links[/size]

This cell has the same size as CR123 cells, but is not a direct replacement (See here for more information)

The batteries was supplied by Vapcell for review.
