15mm shorter than 18650 and as usual it cost a lot of the capacity.











There is some capacity difference between the cells, this means they are best used one at a time. They do handle high current.
Capacity is better than rated.















Conclusion

As long as the cells are used one at a time they are acceptable and can deliver a lot of current.
