18650 Lithium-ion Rechargeable Cell – 2500mAh 3.7V 20A

This is a quality 3.7V 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a 2500mAh capacity and up to 20A discharge – ideal for the UPS HAT, Super Watchdog, micro:Maqueen and any other projects requiring the specific 18650 battery format with plenty of juice in the can!

We only source these batteries from our trusted UK battery supplier due to their careful testing ensuring each cell is EU/UK regulation and RoHS compliant. Each cell has clear polarity marking and comes in its own individual plastic storage tube for added safety and protection.

These 18650 cells are the unprotected type, meaning you’ll need to ensure you use them with a device that provides protection such as reverse polarity protection, overcharge/discharge protection, over current protection and short circuit protection. If you’re not sure what this means, you shouldn’t be buying this battery – safety first!

These cells offer up to 20A continuous discharge. If you need a higher discharge rate, check out our 2500mAh 30A 18650 cells. For a cell with greater capacity, check out our 3000mAh 15A 18650 battery.
