This is a high current 21700 battery.











The two cells matches very nicely and capacity is nearly constant at different loads.
Sadly my holder melted at the 30A test, probably because my temperature sensor was out of battery preventing my script from stopping the test if the battery got hot.

















Conclusion

It looks like a good high current battery, it maintain voltage well at 30A, but may need a temperature cut-off.

Thanks a lot HKJ, “Internal resistance: 8mOhm ( Appr) AC 1kHz” Obviously it is not a Samsung 30T rewrap.

Based on spec and images, it might be the Chinese Qi Xin 21700.

Thanks HKJ!

Hey, what’s that smell….do you smell something burning? :slight_smile:
