The AA sized high current LiIon from Vapcell.










Nice looking discharge curves, the cell performes well with nearly constant capacity up to 3A, but 5A is to much.















Conclusion

A good performing cell with both fairly high current and capacity, but the chemistry type used has a slightly low voltage at high currents.
