This is one of the new formats for LiIon, this cell do not gain any extra capacity but can deliver a lot of current.
The discharge curves match perfectly and the capacity do not drop much at higher currents.
The cell gets hot at 30A, my log says 79°C
Conclusion
The cell is not a super cell, there ware limits to how much extra performance 2mm extra in diameter gets, but it is a very good high current cell (The next size up is 5mm longer and is better).
It is a very good cell, but do we really need this size (Check 21700)?
