Bottom Line: This Kdest is just a rewrapped and overrated 10A 3400mAh cell. At its 15A continuous rating it was almost hot enough to boil water. Its “pulse” rating of 40A is ridiculously high and would bring the voltage down to uselessly low levels. Both of these Kdest cells were identical in performance and appearance to the LG MJ1.
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.
