As usual this cell size has fairly low capacity.










This cell looks very good, the two cells tracks fine and capacity does not change much with load and my 10A test was no problem for the cell.











IN the fifth run the cells are nearly out of power.





Conclusion

This cell has very good high current performance, capacity is as expected for an IMR cell.
This cell gets an acceptable rating.
