The curves tracks fairly well. The batteries handles 2A, but 3A is a bit much.

I did not succeed in tripping the over current protection, it will probably trip on a direct short. The over discharge protection is still very useful.

Conclusion
The battery has good capacity and can deliver a fair amount of current, but it not a high current cell.
