A protected battery that can deliver a lot of current and has good capacity.










The discharge curves tracks very fine.
The B battery jumps a bit in voltage, it looks like a loose connection in my test setup.



A full discharge at 15A is a bit much for this battery, it gets rather hot. I had to stop one of the discharges.



At 15A I had to stop both discharges due to temperature.

















Conclusion

This is a good cell, but the build in protection do not trip on overload (It will probably trip on higher currents).
