While the test results are hard data, the conclusions and recommendations I make based on these tests are only my personal opinion based on my criteria for setting a rating. Carefully research any cell you are considering using before purchasing.
Testing cells at their limits is dangerous and should never, ever, be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved and how to minimize them.
If the cell has only one current rating number on it, or if it only says "max" then I have to assume that the company is stating that the cell can be discharged at that current level in any way, including continuously.

Bottom Line
This cell is identical in appearance and performance to the terrific Sanyo NCR20700B. It is not a high power cell but it provides a lot of capacity for low power single-cell mods or moderate power for multi-cell mods. I recommend staying below about 40W per cell for decent performance.
This cell is double wrapped. While this provides a lot more protection from damage to the wrap it does increase the diameter of the cell a bit. For the two cells I tested the largest diameter was 20.42mm. It has the same thin paper top insulator ring as the Sanyo NCR20700B so I recommend avoiding juice leakage onto the top of the battery.
I am especially pleased to say the EnerCig has rated this cell at 15A. I am rating this cell at 15A and 4000mAh.
Two cells were donated for the purposes of testing by EnerCig in Germany (www.enercig.com). Thank you!
Continuous-Current Test Results
Pulse-Current Test Results
No pulse tests were done as this is a Sanyo NCR20700B
