❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How many times can you recharge an 18650 battery?

A: Cestpower 18650 lithium-ion battery can typically be recharged over 500 times under normal use conditions, for example this 3500mah retains more than 2800mah after 500 times of charge & discharge

Q2: How long will a 3500 mAh battery last?

A: A 3500 mAh battery can deliver 3.5 A for about 1 hour, 1 A for roughly 3.5 hours, or proportionally longer at lower currents. Actual runtime depends on the device’s power consumption, discharge rate, and operating conditions.

Q3: How long does a 3500mAh battery take to charge?

A: The charging time for a 3500mAh battery depends on the charger’s current output. Using a 1A charger, it takes about 4–6 hours, while a 2A fast charger can reduce it to around 2–3 hours.

Q4: What is the charge limit for a 18650 battery?

A: The typical charge limit for a standard 18650 lithium-ion battery is 4.2 volts per cell. Charging beyond this voltage can damage the battery and pose safety risks.

Q5: Is it better to have higher or lower mAh?

A: Higher mAh rating provides longer battery runtime between charges, making it ideal for power-hungry devices. A lower mAh battery is smaller and lighter but needs to be recharged more frequently.
