Battery test 18650, common curves for all tested batteries, the medium part
This article has curves for the 1/3 batteries in the middel capacity at 1A. The actual grouping of batteries is done automatic when I generates the curves, this means that when I add a new battery the grouping will be changed to include the battery in the correct group.
I have only included curves up to 5A, because the amount of batteries that supports higher current is low and can easily be read from the all article.
All curves used are from the A battery in the tests.

Capacity at different currents
In these curves the capacity is measured from a fully charged battery down to 2.8 volt with a constant load current.
Discharge time in hours at different currents
In these curves the time is measured from a fully charged battery down to 2.8 volt with a constant load current.
Discharge time in minutes at different currents
In these curves the time is measured from a fully charged battery down to 2.8 volt with a constant load current, but I have changed the scale to show the shorter discharge times better.
Energy at different currents
In these curves the energy is measured from a fully charged battery down to 2.8 volt with a constant load current.
Energy includes both current and voltage in the same measurement and is a better indication of what the battery can do.
