Product Description
The BTW / DMEGC INR18650-26E is a Grade-A, high-performance 18650 lithium-ion rechargeable cell designed for steady power delivery, long cycle life, and low internal resistance. Featuring a nominal capacity of 2600mAh and a stable 3.6V / 3.7V output, this flat-top cell is built primarily for custom battery packs, power tools, electric mobility (E-bikes/scooters), high-drain flashlights, and IoT backup energy systems.
With an impressive 1000-cycle life rating (retaining 80% capacity) and continuous discharge performance up to 3C (~7.8A to 15A max depending on thermal conditions), it balances high capacity with robust discharge safety.
⚠️ Safety & Handling Warning: This is an unpaved/unprotected flat-top industrial cell meant for spot welding into pack assemblies or use in devices with built-in Battery Management Systems (BMS) / protection circuitry. Always use a dedicated Li-ion charger (CC/CV 4.2V max cut-off) and never short-circuit or mix cell ages.
Technical & Architectural Highlights
-
High Real Capacity (2600mAh): Delivers dependable runtime across medium-to-high draw electronic projects.
-
Exceptional Cycle Life: Tested for up to 1,000 full charge/discharge cycles with low degradation.
-
Low Internal Resistance ($\le 20-30\text{ m}\Omega$): Reduced thermal buildup during high-current discharge cycles.
-
Stable Flat-Top Form Factor: Standardized 18.5mm x 65.2mm dimensions for spot-welding pure nickel strips easily into series/parallel pack matrixes.
