The CELLS can deliver about 1A, at 2A they start to loose voltage and at 5A they cannot really do anything.
The two cells matches fairly well, this probably means the battery is manufactured this way, i.e. it is not a old rewrapped cell.
Conclusion
The cell is as expected, this means low capacity and not able to deliver much current.
The protection specified on the wrapper is not included, this is a bare cell.
Wow ! That’s just blatant misrepresentation. So how do they come up with their numbers ? Do they just put a bunch of numbers in a big tumbler and spin it , then pick one like bingo ?
Unfortunately the people who do not know any better,ones NOT on BLF/CPF/The Flashlight forum ect.
Before I found BLF/CPF I started off 7 years ago w/ these kind of batteries when buying flashlights on T mart whose Lumen/Lux numbers were phony on their flashlights also! :laughing:
Nothing wrong, really. Its unlikely they'll burst, not even if short-circuited. Both their energy and power density are quite low, energy or power cells from a decade ago or more made by the main manufacturers are far superior. Go figure.
