Re-Measured the LG M58T. It is, or at least my samples are (picked a different cell than last time) really quite a bit worse than the 58E. At very low currents (0.5 A and below) they are quite close, but for higher currents the LG falls far behind. Impressive cell by EVE!

Sorry, I must be being dense, I get that there are different cells for the pair of charts, above and below, and for each pair, the Wh is on left and Ah is on right.
For both Wh charts, you have two boxes of text with the test current and resulting Wh, but it isn’t clear what the numbers relate to, for example you have 1A discharge for the 58T resulting in measured energy of 18.88Wh and 16.3Wh…?
One box is 4.2V to 2.8V, the other is 4.2V to 3.2V.

Ahh! Of course! Thanks, makes sense!

Energy from 4.2 to 3.2V is what Mooch calls “E-Score” in his reviews, figured it’d be nice to have a somewhat comparable metric.

New cell added, EVE 50E. A solid budget cell, although a bit outdated by now, since there is cells with the same cap but (much) more current rating and the same current rating but (much) more capacity.
Interesting how well it fares against the LG M58T in the 3.2V limited discharge test. The flat curve with a steep drop-off, as compared to the LGs more sloped curve seems to be a big difference here. Also interesting to see that, despite the much higher nominal capacity, the 58E seems to hold up better in the 4A test than the 50E. The difference would probably get larger with higher currents. This cell does not seem to like high currents at all, even the LG 58E has less difference between 2A and 4A test.
