The batteries are not perfectly matches, but fairly close. They can handle 20A with problems, but at 30A they get too hot.

I forgot to mount the temperature sensor on one of the batteries.

[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

This is a nice high current battery and the slightly large size compare to a 18650 can be seen on the improved performance.
This battery is mostly for people that needs well above 10A, for lower currents look at a 18650.
