Introduction

1865 / 18650 cells

Diameter is 18 mm and length 65.0 mm.

Voltage

Note that the chemistry changes and thus these value might be a bit different. Be careful.

  • Discharge cutoff voltage (the low voltage limit) is around 2.0V to 2.5V
  • Nominal voltage is (usual) 3.6 V or 3.7 V.
  • Full charge voltage is 4.2 V, which is the maximum voltage

Chenistry:

  • Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO2): nominal voltage of 3.6V and is known for its high energy density.
  • Lithium Manganese Oxide (LiMn2O4): a nominal voltage of 3.7V and offer thermal stability compared to LiCoO2
  • Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC): a nominal voltage of 3.6V or 3.7V and provide a good balance of energy density and power capability.
  • Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4): a nominal voltage of about 3.2V with excellent safety characteristics and long cycle life.
