New 18650 battery cells from Sony: VTC6 and VC7

[crumly]

Hi,

Sony will produce new 18650 battery cells:

VTC5A 6A charge / 35A discharge, 2600 mAh (availible)
VTC6 4A charge / 30A discharge, 3000 mAh (in future)
VC7 2A charge / 8A discharge, 3500 mAh (in future)

I think, the VTC6 will be better then LG Chem HG2 (only 20A) or Samsung 30Q (only 15A); both also 3000 mAh cells.
