A high capacity and high current 26650 cell from AWT. The current speifications from AWT's website do not look anywhere near correct.

The two cells are the same at handling loads, but there is a capacity difference, i.e. do not use them in series. They are also significantly below rated capacity.

Conclusion
Significant difference between the cells and both below rated capacity, not the cells I would go for.
