• Storage temperature: 1 month: -20° ~ 60°C, 3 months: -20°C ~ 45°C, 1 year: -20°C ~ 20°C

Older high current cells (Data sheet says 2014) with fairly low capacity.










The two batteries tracks very nicely and has nearly constant capacity at any current.



















Conclusion

This cell is a good at high current, but capacity is low by today's standard.
Performance is very similar to LGs HB4 cell, I wonder if this cell has better lifetime (I do not have a full data sheet on HB4).



Notes and links

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