Official specifications:

- Size: Approx. 6.6 * 1.8cm / 2.6 * 0.7in (Height * diameter)
The cell is not surprisingly significantly below specified capacity. The promised protection is missing.
The wrapper says that the battery is protection, this is not correct.
Not much capacity, especially not if you need a couple of amperes. This cell has less capacity than the 2014 version of the same cell. The two cells do track, but not very well.
Conclusion
A cheap cell in bad quality, but I did already know that before I tested the cell. The disassembly did also confirm it (see link below).
The rating is, of course, that it is a bad cell, but in another way than the red/silver Ultrafire I also disassembled. This cell is produced to be cheap, the red/silver is made from old cell.
