Highest Capacity 18650 Battery 2019
Page view
1) Highest Capacity 18650 2019
18650 battery is the first lithium ion battery - a standard lithium ion battery model set by Japanese SONY in order to save costs. 18 means 18mm in diameter, 65 means 65mm in length, and 0 means cylindrical battery. Common 18650 lithium batteriesinclude lithium ternary battery and lithium iron phosphate battery.
18650 lithium battery is also divided into capacity type and multiplier type. Capacity type mainly reflects large capacity, but the discharge current is generally lower than 1C, the current is small; The multiplier type can discharge at large current, but have low capacity and short service time.
Due to the fixed size of 18650 lithium battery, its maximum capacity has been concerned by many practitioners. In recent years, various manufacturers have improved their technology and capacity accordingly. Samsung, Panasonic, LG, SONY and Toshiba can achieve more than 3600mAh.
At present, the capacity of good 18650 lithium battery in the market is between 2200 and 3500mAh, and the 18650 lithium battery in this range has the best stability and consistency.
You'd better not use the highest capacity cell to make battery pack, regardless of the cost performance and the service life of the battery pack is not very cost-effective, because the larger the capacity of the battery, the worse its stability, consistency and security are, and the price is also higher. We should choose the right battery according to our product positioning, power consumption parameters (working voltage, working current, working time, etc.) and budget.

3) Best High Capacity 18650 Battery
Large capacity 18650 battery is assembled by 18650 cells connected in series and parallel to meet the requirements of high voltage and high capacity of different devices. The more cells connected in parallel, the larger the capacity of the assembled battery is.
18650 battery connected in parallel: With constant voltage, battery capacity increases, internal resistance reduces, and power supply time is longer.
18650 battery connected in series: voltage increases but capacity is unchanged.
Therefore, there is no definite capacity for the largest 18650 battery. Different battery manufacturers can produce 18650 batteries with different capacities according to requirements. Dongguan Large Electronics Co., Ltd. can customize 18650 lithium batteries with super large capacity according to customer requirements.

4) 18650 Battery Capacity Chart
The discharge characteristics of 18650 battery determine the battery used in different application fields. According to the discharge characteristics of 18650 battery, 18650 battery can be divided into capacity battery and power battery. The discharge curves of these two kinds of 18650 battery are different under different conditions. Here take two types of Panasonic cells for example to know more about the difference of discharge curve between capacity cell and power cell.
Capacity Cell （Panasonic UR18650ZTA）
Cell model：Panasonic UR18650ZTA（High Capacity Models）
Nominal voltage：3.7V
Minimum capacity: 2900mAh
Nominal capacity：3000mAh
Charging temperature：0-45℃
Discharging temperature: -20-60℃
As you can see from the discharge curve, when the discharge voltage reaches 3.0V, the capacity of this 18650 battery is about 2900mAh. When the discharge current is 0.2c, the capacity is about 2300mAh. When the discharge current is 2C, which does not reach the standard range of the battery, it shows that this 18650 cell is not suitable for high rate discharge.
Therefore, the capacity cell should be a battery with high capacity but small current discharge for a long time, which is suitable for medical equipment, power equipment, instruments, consumer batteries, outdoor equipment, etc.
Power Cell（Panasonic UR18650RX）
Cell model：Panasonic UR18650RX（High Drain Models）
Nominal voltage：3.6V
Minimum capacity: 2050mAh
Nominal capacity：1950mAh
Charging temperature：0-45℃
Discharging temperature: -20-60℃
5) How to Test Capacity of 18650 Battery
The capacity of lithium battery is the premise of equipment working hours. There is a certain deviation between the labeled capacity and the actual capacity of general manufacturers, which is the so-called fake standard of battery capacity. How do you measure lithium battery capacity accurately? Let's talk about the 18650 lithium battery capacity measurement methods.
Method One
You can find an adjustable load resistance and a DC power supply with adjustable current to calculate the battery capacity by charging and discharging time. Through the battery capacity calculation formula, you can deduce the capacity of 18650 lithium battery:
Charging test: charging current × charging time = battery capacity (from 2.7V or 3.0V to 4.2V);
Discharge test: discharge current × discharge time = battery capacity (discharge from 4.2V to 2.7V or 3.0V).
Method Two
Fully charge the battery to reach the rated voltage, which is generally 4.2V;
Discharge the battery to the rated voltage, and record how much electricity is released, and the voltage is generally 3.0V;
Charge the battery to the normal capacity, which normally sets at 3.8v-4.0V;
The capacity recorded in the second step is the battery capacity.
