This Cylaid is an overrated cell with a useless pulse rating. It matches the Sony VTC6 in both appearance and in performance.
While this cell has the claimed 25A rating in fine print on the wrap it has an even more useless 40A “max pulse discharge” rating on the wrap too. It also features “40A” in a larger font which many people will use as the cell’s rating when shopping or when a vendor displays it on their web site. For these reasons I feel the large “40A” rating, or any “pulse” rating, is misleading and shouldn’t be used.
I am rating this Cylaid at 15A and 3000mAh.
My thanks to Cylaid for donating the two cells for testing! (https://cylaid18650.en.alibaba.com)
