Only in one review: Resistance 45 mΩ (BASEN BS186A Pro).

BASEN BS186A Pro: The protected version is usable, but its protection limits current: it trips at about 6–6.2 A, with 5.1 A available continuously.

Panasonic NCR18650G: Capacity is slightly higher than competitors at low current, but it trails the LG MJ1 at high current and seems overpriced.
