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.
