A older LG battery with fairly low capacity and low maximum current.










The cell is rated for 3A and it can deliver that. The two cells has good tracking.











The output from the cell collapses a bit above 11A, this collapse is also the reason for the high internal resistance in the info box.





Conclusion

The cell is good quality but performance is some years behind.
