FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between Button Top and Flat Top?
A: Flat Top has a flat positive terminal, compatible with most modern devices (flashlights, DIY packs, headlamps). Button Top has a raised positive terminal (like a standard AA battery), required for older devices and certain battery holders with spring-loaded contacts. Please select your desired version when placing your order.
Q2: What is the capacity of this battery?
A: This battery has a 2600mAh capacity (minimum 2500mAh), offering more runtime than standard 2200mAh batteries. This makes it ideal for devices that need to run for extended periods without recharging.
Q3: What does 5.2A mean?
A: 5.2A refers to the maximum continuous discharge current of this battery. This means it can safely deliver up to 5.2 amps of power continuously. This makes it suitable for medium-drain devices like flashlights and doorbells, but not recommended for high-power applications like vaping or heavy power tools.
Q4: Is this battery suitable for my RC car?
A: Yes. This battery is a good choice for RC cars that require 18650 cells. Its 2600mAh capacity provides decent runtime, and its 5.2A discharge rate is sufficient for most hobby-grade RC cars. For high-performance racing RC cars, we recommend cells with higher discharge ratings.
Q5: Is this battery suitable for outdoor garden lights?
A: Yes. This battery is an excellent choice for solar-rechargeable outdoor garden lights. Its 2600mAh capacity provides long runtime through the night, and its 5.2A discharge rate is more than sufficient for garden light power requirements.
Q6: Is this battery protected or unprotected?
A: This is an unprotected cell. It relies on your device's built-in BMS (Battery Management System) or protection circuit to handle overcharge, over-discharge, and short-circuit protection. This provides maximum flexibility for use in devices with built-in protection.
Q7: How many times can this battery be recharged?
A: This battery can be recharged approximately 800+ times, depending on usage and charging habits. Proper care (using a quality charger, avoiding full discharge, and storing at moderate temperatures) will extend its lifespan.
Q8: What charger should I use?
A: Use a dedicated intelligent Li-Ion charger designed for 3.7V/4.2V cells. Do not use universal chargers designed for NiMH batteries. Look for chargers with overcharge protection and temperature monitoring features.
Q9: How do I identify positive and negative terminals?
A: The flat top (or the raised button on button top version) is the Positive (+) terminal. The bottom (the side with the shiny metal casing and a slight indentation) is the Negative (-) terminal.
Q10: How should I store this battery when not in use?
A: Store at a partial charge (around 40-60% capacity) in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store fully charged or fully depleted for extended periods.
