Hi,
Li-ion need a safety circuit (over-current protection) to prevent excessive current output, some are in-built, others not. "maximum continuous discharge rate is 10 amp" means: Do not exceed this value, and only for brief periods, despite the wording. "maximum discharge rate of 2.8 amps" means maximum you must ensure is not exceeded, presumably continuously until the battery runs out of steam. Ambiguous continuous 2.8A then 10A - it can't be both. The cell datasheet or specifications wil say the internal impedance, I assume about 50 milliohms more or less, Ohm's Law will be useful to use to do a more rigourous thought experiment about what to expect before doing a practical experiment.
You could get a disposable 9V alkaline battery (only 250mAh or something like that from what I remember about the discharge curve and capacity), a 1A fast fuse, a 1 Ohm, 10 Watt resistor and some 2.5mm well-insulated wire, and a DC 250V >10A/100W on/off switch between the battery and the fuse and use the ammeter setting on your DMM to see "uncontrolled" current draw from a battery in a safer way before trying with the Li-ion.
