A high current 18500 cell and is usual the case with this cell the capacity is considerable less than the 15mm longer 18650.










The two cells handle 15A fairly well, but they has different capacity.















Conclusion

The cells are can deliver a lot of current, but the capacity different prevent usage in series.
