One downside that I see is that it is recommended that you only charge the NCR18650A at rates at or below 0.885A.
There are a lot of good things about this cell, though. I like the added capacity without the higher termination voltage, but I don't like how some of the capacity comes from discharging it lower than what is standard practice. but if you use a standard protection circuit, it will be very conservative and no worrying about overdischarging the cell.
Why in your opinion 885mA charge rate is downside?
Cheers
