Only in one review: Voltage 3.6 V (LG INR18650-HG2L); Current 20 A (LG INR18650-HG2L); Capacity at high current 2456 mAh (VTC6 with tabs); Energy 10.73 Wh (VTC6 with tabs); Resistance 30 mΩ (VTC6 with tabs).

LG INR18650-HG2L: Actual capacity is about 2900 mAh; at 20 A its results were nearly equal to the HG2.

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