Key Features
-
40A True Continuous Discharge (CDR) – Massive, stable current for the most power-hungry devices. Handles sub-ohm builds, FET turbo flashlight modes, and high-power motor loads without dangerous voltage sag.
-
4000mAh Solid Capacity – Optimized for high-drain applications. Provides dependable runtime while maintaining full 40A output capability throughout the discharge cycle. A practical balance between power and endurance.
-
Flat Top Design – Universally compatible with all standard 21700 spring-contact chargers, flashlights, and battery trays. The flat positive terminal is ideal for spot-welding nickel strips in custom battery packs.
-
Ultra-Low Internal Resistance – Minimizes heat generation and voltage drop under heavy loads, keeping your device cooler and ensuring maximum power delivery from start to finish.
-
21700 Form Factor – The modern standard for high-power cells. Delivers significantly more capacity and current capability than 18650 alternatives while maintaining a manageable size. Always verify your device accepts 21700 cells before ordering.
-
2-Pack Convenience – Perfect for dual-battery regulated mods, high-output flashlights, or keeping a charged spare ready for your high-drain device.
Parameters
Applications
Recommended For
-
High-Wattage Vaping: Mechanical mods and high-wattage regulated devices running sub-ohm builds (safely down to ~0.10Ω at 3.6V). The 40A CDR provides a generous safety margin for demanding coils.
-
FET-Driven High-Output Flashlights: Hot-rod torches and multi-emitter custom builds that demand 20–40A on turbo. Enjoy extreme brightness with rock-steady voltage and solid runtime.
-
Heavy-Duty Headlamps: Professional and industrial headlamps that require sustained high current and long battery life.
-
Cordless Power Tools (In BMS-Equipped Packs): Impact drivers, drills, and wrenches. The 40A rating handles start-up surges and sustained heavy loads with ease. Always use matched cells and a proper BMS.
-
RC Cars, Boats & Airsoft: Competitive models requiring instantaneous 40A+ bursts for explosive starts and maneuvers.
-
DIY High-Current Battery Packs: Spot welders, portable jump starters, and any project demanding reliable, ultra-high-rate discharge.
Not Recommended For
-
Long-Runtime Low-Power Devices: Solar lights, camping lanterns, and wireless sensors. These benefit more from a 5000–6000mAh high-capacity 21700 cell.
-
18650-Only Devices: The 21700 is physically larger (21mm diameter vs. 18mm). It will not fit in 18650 battery compartments.
-
Applications Requiring Sustained >40A: For continuous currents above 40A, use dedicated ultra-high-drain cells or multi-parallel configurations.
FAQ
Q: Is this battery suitable for vaping? What resistance is safe?
A: Yes, this is an excellent cell for high-power vaping. With a 40A CDR at 3.6V nominal, it can safely handle builds down to approximately 0.10Ω, leaving a comfortable safety margin. Always calculate your actual current using Ohm's law and never exceed 40A continuous.
Q: Will this battery fit my 18650 device?
A: No. This is a 21700 cell, which has a larger diameter (21mm vs. 18mm for 18650). It will only fit in devices specifically designed for 21700 batteries. Always check your device's specifications before ordering.
Q: Is the 40A rating continuous or pulse?
A: The 40A is the Continuous Discharge Rating (CDR). The cell can handle short pulses up to 50–60A, but sustained operation must stay within the 40A limit. Never design your system based on pulse ratings for continuous operation.
Q: Can I build a power tool battery pack with these?
A: Yes, for high-drain tools like impact drivers and drills. The 40A continuous rating handles these applications well. Always use matched cells, spot-weld nickel strips (never solder directly to the cell), and install a properly rated BMS.
Q: How should I store these cells when not in use?
A: Store at 3.6–3.7V (approximately 40–50% charge) in a cool, dry place. Use non-conductive battery cases to prevent accidental short circuits. Avoid storing fully charged or deeply discharged for extended periods.
