This cell has “50A” on the wrap, an insane overrating. Even if we consider the 50A rating to be a “pulse” rating, which is useless, it’s still overrated.
This was a retest. The previous testing was done in October, 2016 and this cell was found to be an overrated rewrap that was identical in performance and appearance to the Sony VTC5. It is still a VTC5 rewrap but the performance of the two AWT’s I tested was a bit worse this time. They appear to be lower grade cells.
I am rating this AWT cell at 20A and 2600mAh.
With all the other cells that are available to us, without this degree of overrating and without being lower grade cells, this one is a terrible choice and earns a Do Not Buy recommendation from me.
The two cells that were tested were purchased for that purpose by me.
