Keeppower has two 14500 batteries in their program, this is the one from DLG (The other cell is from Sanyo and is marked 840mAh).










The discharge curves looks nice, with good tracking between the cells.











For a battery with a 1.6A rating the overcurrent trippoint is a bit high, but the cell has no problem delivering the current.





Conclusion

This is a battery with good performance, but capacity is lower than the Sanyo version.
I will rate is it as acceptable.
