LG 18650 HD4 2100mAh (Orange)

Official specifications:

This is a high current battery from some years ago.

Very nice discharge curves

30A is too much for the battery it get rather hot.

Conclusion

This was a very good tool battery in its time, today batteries have more capacity and some batteries are a bit better for high current.

Notes and links

Vapcell told me that I was missing some cells in my comparator and they would be happy to supply them.
