Frequently Asked Questions

What is the discharge cutoff voltage?

The recommended discharge cut-off is 2.5 V.

How should the BMS / protection be configured for a pack using this cell?

  • Implement over-current protection, especially because of the 35 A continuous capability.
  • Monitor cell temperature closely: due to high current, thermal runaway risk increases if cells overheat.
  • Set appropriate voltage cutoffs: use 4.2 V for charge, 2.5 V for discharge, to protect cell integrity.

What are the storage considerations?

  • The cell’s discharge / self-discharge properties are good per Batemo testing.
  • When storing large batches, it's recommended to store cells at moderate state of charge (e.g., 40–60%) to minimize aging.

What are the suitable use-case scenarios (applications) for this cell?

  • High-drain, high-power applications: e.g., power tools, electric garden tools, and other high-current devices.
  • Use in battery packs where current performance is more critical than maximizing capacity.

What are potential sourcing or quality risks?

  • Validate each batch via test samples: check internal resistance (IR) and capacity.
  • Make sure to obtain the authorized Molicel datasheet and verify lot traceability.
  • When buying in high quantity, ensure suppliers provide UN38.3 / MSDS documentation for transportation compliance.
