It reaches a dangerous temperature at 35A continuous. Its &#8220;pulse&#8221; rating of 80A is absurd and brings me to the point of apoplexy just thinking about it. The first pulse at that level would drop the cell&#8217;s voltage to under 2.5V&#8230;.a less than useful voltage. Both of these Kdest cells were identical in performance and appearance to the Samsung 30Q.<\/p>\n<p>Kdest has printed &#8220;MADE IN KDEST&#8221; on the metal can which is interesting considering that this is a rewrapped Samsung cell.<\/p>\n<p>The 18650 ratings table has been updated to include this cell.
