A high capacity high current rated cell.
This chart is a mess, the two cells has different capacity. At 0.2A A was 2435mAh and B was 2749mAh, neither reach the specified 3000mAh
Both cells can handle 15A without getting too hot.
At 20A the B cell gets too hot and I terminate the test.
The B cell cannot handle 30A, the A cell gets too hot after some time.
Conclusion
I do not like these cells, both are below specifications and they are very different.
As 3000mAh high current cells they are bad.
