❓ FAQ – 18650 3000mAh 5C 3.7V Li-ion Battery Cell

1. What does 5C mean for this battery?

5C means the battery can continuously discharge current up to 5 times its rated capacity.
For 3000mAh, 5C = 15A continuous discharge current, making it suitable for high-drain devices.

2. Is this a protected cell?

No, this is an unprotected 18650 lithium-ion cell, intended for integration into packs with an external BMS (Battery Management System). Protected versions can be provided upon request.

3. How long will this battery last?

Under standard usage (charging at 0.5C and discharging at ≤5C), this cell offers ≥500 cycles, maintaining ≥80% of original capacity.

4. Can I use it in DIY or commercial battery packs?

Yes. This cell is widely used in both DIY and commercial applications. We also offer pack assembly, spot welding, connector soldering, and custom battery pack services.

5. What’s the lead time for bulk orders?

Typical lead time:

  • Samples: 3–7 working days
