Looks like the cells are Samsung INR-18650-25R. They are rated for 20A constant draw so not bad. They are rated based on a cycle of 4.2 - 2.5V so running them down won't hurt them but it does add to the cycle count which will reduce capacity.
If you want battery longevity, charge to only 4.10V and discharge to 3.20V (although this is not realistic). You will also notice on the attached image from the datasheet that the capacity loss rate is slightly higher in the early stages.
Oh well. As said above, never store these cells at 100% in storage.
