A fairly low capacity cell without any high current ability.










The cell does very good up to 7A, the curves are tracking nicely and with nearly constant capacity. This is a very good result for a 4A rated cell.















Conclusion

The cell looks to be of good quality, but the capacity is fairly low for todays batteries. If the price is low, this cell will be interesting.
This cell gets an acceptable rating.
