Efest makes one that I believe is a 65a pulse. The continuous current is 20a, or 25a. But for 26650, most of the folks I know use them.

Haven't seen tests on it as yet. I do know that the 3800 mAh 60 amp didn't do too well.

They're not 75 amps continuous, 75 amp pulse I believe. Take the listed amp and Mah ratings with a grain of salt, a lot of the batteries on the market are either misstating pulse for continuous amps, or outright lying on the specs of their batteries.
Since it has become so hard to find the Sony VT 26650, I have found 1 other 26650 that delivers the actual performance stated. I took a chance a few months back and tried a new batt on the market. I was ordering my ehpro kryptonite and route 66 from madvapes.com and was going to order a couple of new MNKE's to go with. I noticed a battery I hadn't heard of before and could not find much info on. I saw them mentioned in one of their videos on YouTube and decided to take a chance. I build super low and refuse to sacrifice when it comes to batteries. The PVTSO Elite 26650 is by far the best I have used to date, dare I say better than my Sony. 48A continuous 64A pulse and backs it up, hits hard, lasts long and will handle super low builds without even getting warm. These are my findings and my opinions based on those findings. I hope this helps, vape safe all and stay away from the butt-sticks lol.
