The two cells match nicely and have a build in fuse that I blew on both batteries, one at 30A and one at 20A.

Some test is missing due to the blown fuse in the cells.



[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

The batteries looks like good batteries, but be careful with overloading them, the protection will disable the cell permanently (This is, of course, better than risking a battery explosion).
