A short high current battery, as usual this size is fairly limited in capacity.










The cell handles has fairly good tracking up to 5A, but cannot really handle 10A.















Conclusion

This battery has a good performance up to 5A, it can handle 7A, but not 10A.
I will rate this as an acceptable cell with good high current performance.



Notes and links

The batteries was supplied by Efan for review.

Thanks for the review!

How does this rate in comparison to the Efest 18350 IMR 800mAh?

It is better, but it cannot match the purple Efest at 10A.

Awesome review, very good little battery, might get a few for my Convoy S2 mini (the 18350 variant just released)
