18650 lithium cell — Ø18 × 65 mm cylindrical cell
The 18650 (Ø18 × 65 mm) is the most widely deployed cylindrical lithium cell format in the world. We supply it in NCM chemistry across 32 variants, with rated capacities from roughly 1500 mAh to 4200 mAh — so you can match the cell to your design’s priority, whether that is peak current, runtime, low-temperature performance or cycle life.
How to read the model number
Capacity and cell type are encoded directly in the model number. The prefix marks the chemistry (INR = NCM) and the suffix marks the type:
- D — high-power: high continuous and pulse discharge for power tools and traction.
- E — energy-storage: maximum capacity per cell for runtime-driven packs.
- P — high C-rate: highest discharge rate for demanding loads.
- PL — low-temperature: stable discharge in cold climates.
- M / MF — high-safety (LMFP / LiFePO4): longer cycle life and thermal stability.
So an INR18650-35E is a 3500 mAh NCM energy-type cell. Full per-model specs —
weight, internal resistance, charge/discharge rates, cutoff voltage and cycle
life — are listed in the table above and in the datasheet.
Typical applications
The 18650 is the backbone of e-bike & e-scooter packs, cordless power tools, drones & UAVs and energy-storage systems.
