Only in one review: Voltage 3.6 V (Vapcell P30); Current 20 A (Vapcell P30); Energy 10.43 Wh (Vapcell P30); Temperature rise 71.5 °C (Samsung ICR18650-32A protected); Weight 51.8 g (Samsung ICR18650-32A protected).

Vapcell P30: P30 are close to the VTC6 and HG2, but variation between cells led the author to prefer the VTC6.

Samsung ICR18650-32A protected: Capacity and internal resistance are close to spec, but the cell overheats at about 1.5–2C discharge and protection cannot handle charging to 4.35 V.
