Bottom Line: This is a rewrapped and preposterously overrated 10A cell reaching 94°C at only 15A continuous and becoming useless at only 20A. Both Kdest cells were visually identical in performance and appearance to the LG MG1. This is the same cell that was used by Efest for the 10A version of their earlier “35A 3000mAh” cell.
Kdest has printed “MADE IN KDEST” on the metal can which is interesting considering that this is a rewrapped LG cell.
The 18650 ratings table has been updated to include this cell.
The two cells were purchased directly from Kdest (http://www.kdest.com) for the purposes of testing.
