After extensive testing on individual cells and then in a small pack, they can discharge like a fire hose. Each cell is about 19.6Ah, 3.3V and about 1 lb. In my testing, they were able to sustain a 370A (19C) discharge with only 22% sag. They are rated to 30C discharge.
During that discharge level, my test load was underwater to keep it cool, and it started boiling water in a second or two. After 20 seconds, the test pack had barely risen in temperature. Seems efficient to me :-)
The cell costs were slightly higher than the more popular (and available) Thunder Sky, Calb, etc cells.
