Key Features – Lithium Ion Battery 3.7 V 1200mAh​ 18650

Continuous 10C High-Rate Discharge Performance

This 18650 lithium-ion cell supports 10C continuous discharge, enabling rapid energy release for high-load devices. Delivers strong and stable current under heavy load, maintains voltage stability during continuous discharge. Ideal for motors, power tools, and high-drain electronics.

🌡️ Low Internal Resistance for High Efficiency

Built with optimized electrode materials and precision manufacturing, the cell features low internal resistance, makes it less heat generation during charge and discharge, higher round-trip energy efficiency, and improve performance consistency under high current. Lower heat not only boosts efficiency but also extends cycle life and improves overall safety.

🛡️ Enhanced Safety with Built-In Pressure Relief Valve (CID)

Safety is a core design priority. Each cell integrates a current interrupt device (CID) with a pressure relief valve inside the cell. Automatically activates during short circuit, overcharge, or abnormal pressure rise, instantly cuts off current to prevent thermal runaway, releases internal pressure to avoid cell rupture or explosion. This multi-layer protection significantly reduces risk in high-power and multi-cell battery systems.

🔗 High Cell Consistency for Battery Pack Assembly

The cell is manufactured under strict quality control to ensure excellent cell-to-cell consistency, which is critical for battery packs. Stable capacity and internal resistance distribution, reduce imbalance in series and parallel configurations, improve pack-level safety, lifespan, and reliability. Perfectly suited for multi-series and multi-parallel battery packs used in professional and industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does mAh stand for?

A: mAh means milliampere-hour, which is used to describe a battery’s energy storage capacity. A higher mAh rating indicates the battery can supply current for a longer period under the same operating conditions.

A: Charging a 1200mAh 18650 battery typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the charger’s current and charging method. Using a standard 0.5C–1C charge rate balances charging speed with battery safety and lifespan.

Q3: Do batteries stop charging when full?

A: Yes, modern rechargeable batteries stop charging when full because smart chargers and battery management systems automatically cut off or reduce current at the end of the charge cycle. This prevents overcharging and helps protect battery safety and lifespan.

Q4: How to tell if a lithium battery is overcharged?

A: A lithium battery may be overcharged if it becomes abnormally hot, swollen, leaking, or emits an unusual odor during or after charging. Another clear sign is a voltage exceeding the safe limit (typically above 4.2V per cell), which indicates a charging or protection failure.

Q5: Can I charge an 18650 battery with an AA charger?

A: No, you should not charge an 18650 battery with an AA charger because they use different voltages and charging algorithms. Using an AA charger can cause improper charging, leading to overheating, damage, or serious safety risks.
