• Max. Discharging current 1.5C ma (for continuous discharge)

This is a 16650 battery, i.e. it has about the same diameter as a CR123 battery and can often be used to replace two of them. There is one caveat with this cell, it does not have any protection, i.e. it is the users responsibly not to over discharge it.



After shipping the samples to me, some print was added to the box.








The two cells match perfectly, but capacity is less than specified.











It is possible to draw a lot of current without protection, but it is not recommended.





Conclusion

The battery has lower capacity than specified, but has a good performance.
As usual with good unspecified cells, the rating can only be acceptable.
