This is one of the newer cell sizes with more capacity and high current.
This is very nice discharge curves with good match and nearly constant capacity, even at high current. I had to stop the 20A and 30A discharge due to heat.
Conclusion
These cells can deliver a lot of current and has more capacity than the older 18650 size, the cells has good discharge curves.
Notes and links
The battery was supplied by shockli.com for review.
HKJ,
Thanks for your review.
Much appreciated.
Loving the characteristics of these newer sized batteries.
Look forward to more lights being produced to use them.
Cheers,

P.S. Looks like you may need to upgrade your discharging rig!
Don’t forget to ask us all for funds if you do.
Don’t ask, don’t get!
I can discharge with above 100A, the problem is my battery holder, it melts.
I do not with to return to thick copper rods, I like the better precision from a 4 terminal rig.
I have published a paypal address (info@lygte-info.dk), if you want to help me (I am often buying stuff to test and sometimes also new equipment).
You asked about a 26650 battery compare to a 18350 battery, that is a 4000-5000mAh compared to a 1000mAh battery, and they are very different in size.
Comparing 26350/18350 may be more interesting, but I have only tested one 26350.
