Official specifications: Efest%2018650%202200mAh%20(Black)%202014-info

This is a normal (i.e. not high current) 18650 cell. I believe the 22000mA in the specifications is a typo.

There is good tracking between the two cells at lower current and the capacity is fairly constant up to 7A.

Conclusion

Up to a few amperes the battery looks good, but both capacity and current capability is rather low by today’s standards.
