Efest has made a range of very high current batteries (Purple), this is the 18350 sized one.










The cells has very good tracking between them and does also handle the load very nicely.















Conclusion

This cell has very impressive high current capability, but do not get it if you want a lot of capacity.
It looks like a good cell.
