The newest high current and high capacity cell from Enercig.











There is no doubt this is a quality battery, the curves track perfectly and capacity is nearly constant with current.
At high current the battery gets hot and I stopped the 30A test due to that.



At 15A or greater that there must be a temperature cut-out at 80°C, I could stay below that at 15A





But at 30A I hit 80°C or rather went above. Here I was up to 92°C.















Conclusion

This is one of the top high current and capacity cells on the market.

I will rate it a very good battery.
