Review conclusion	With reservations	Not recommended

Only in one review: Voltage 3.6 V (Liitokala NCR18650B); Temperature rise 60 °C (Liitokala NCR18650B).

Liitokala NCR18650B: The protection works and the cells deliver up to 5 A, but measured capacity is well below the claim.

VTC6 with tabs: Capacity matches the claim, but resistance is high and performance does not match VTC6; the author limited discharge to 10 A.
