Key Features – 18650 Li-ion Rechargeable Battery 3200mAh​

Ultra-High Energy Density (Up to 246.67Wh/kg)

With an ultra-high energy density, this 18650 lithium-ion battery cell is able to store more energy within the same compact cylindrical form factor, allow to design lighter and smaller battery packs without sacrificing performance. The higher energy concentration directly means longer operating time and improved efficiency, making it especially suitable for applications where space and weight optimization are critical.

🔋 Large Capacity & Long Runtime (3200mAh)

This 18650 battery cell delivers extended runtime per charge, enabling devices to operate longer and more reliably. The large capacity helps reduce charging frequency, minimize downtime, and improve overall system endurance, which is particularly valuable for portable electronics, energy storage systems, and high-demand equipment.

🔥 Low Internal Resistance for High Efficiency

The cell is engineered with low internal resistance, which significantly reduces energy loss during both charging and discharging processes. As a result, less heat under high-load conditions, improving thermal stability and operational safety while maintaining high electrical efficiency. This feature also lead to more stable output performance and better cycle life over long-term use.

🛡️ Advanced Safety with Built-in Pressure Relief Valve (CID)

An integrated pressure relief valve, also known as a Current Interrupt Device (CID), is built into the cell to enhance safety under abnormal conditions such as short circuits, overcharging, or excessive internal pressure. When triggered, the CID automatically disconnects the current and releases internal pressure, effectively preventing thermal runaway and significantly reducing the risk of fire, leakage, or explosion.

📊 High Cell Consistency & Stability

Strict control over key parameters such as voltage, capacity, and internal resistance, this cell offers excellent consistency from cell to cell. High consistency improves safety and balance at the battery pack level, increases usable capacity, and reduces uneven aging, ultimately extending overall battery lifespan and delivering more reliable long-term performance.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What not to do with rechargeable batteries?

Do not overcharge, over-discharge, short-circuit, or expose rechargeable batteries to extreme heat, moisture, or physical damage, as these actions can seriously reduce lifespan and cause safety risks. Avoid using incompatible chargers, mixing old and new batteries, or storing batteries fully charged or completely empty for long periods.

Q2: Can a lithium battery catch fire when not in use?

Yes, a lithium battery can catch fire even when not in use if it is damaged, overcharged previously, stored improperly, or has an internal defect. Storing lithium batteries in a cool, dry place at a partial charge and using proper protection greatly reduces this risk.

Q3: What is so special about an 18650 battery?

The 18650 battery is special because it combines a standardized size with high energy density, reliable performance, and good thermal stability. This balance of capacity, power capability, and safety has made it one of the most widely used lithium-ion cells in electronics, power tools, and energy storage systems.

Q4: How many times can you recharge an 18650 battery?

An 18650 lithium-ion battery can typically be recharged more than 500 times before its capacity drops to around 80% of the original. With proper charging habits, temperature control, and moderate depth of discharge, high-quality cells can often exceed this range.

Q5: How to wake up 18650?

An 18650 battery can sometimes be “woken up” by using a smart charger with a recovery or pre-charge mode that slowly raises the voltage from an over-discharged state. If the cell does not respond or heats up, it should not be reused, as deeply damaged lithium batteries are unsafe.
