Key Performance Highlights

  1. High Energy Capacity: Typical capacity about 4,800 mAh, with a standard discharge capacity of 4,650 mAh. Nominal Voltage: ~3.64 V.
  2. Good Discharge Performance: Maintains 100% capacity at up to 1 C (4,800 mA); at 1.5 C (~7,200 mA) it retains ~85%, and at 2 C (~9,600 mA) it retains ~80%.
  3. Long Cycle Life:
  4. Cycle Life 1: ≥ 70% capacity after 500 cycles (4.20 V ↔ 2.50 V).
    Cycle Life 2: ≥ 70% capacity after 1,500 cycles (4.15 V ↔ 3.00 V).
  5. Excellent Storage Recovery: After 28 days at room temperature, the cell recovers ≥ 90% of its capacity.
  6. Low Internal Resistance:18 mΩ (AC, after standard charge), which helps reduce energy loss and improve efficiency.
  7. Wide Temperature Range:
    Charge: 0 °C to 45 °C.
    Discharge: –20 °C to 60 °C.
  8. Robust Safety & Certification: Complies with UN38.3 for transport safety per spec sheet.
  9. Compact & Durable Design: Weighs up to 69.5 g, with a cell height of ~70.80 mm and diameter ~21.25 mm.
