Why This Bundle
The EVE 40PL is a tabless 21700 cell engineered specifically to minimize internal impedance and maximize power output — a 4000mAh capacity backed by a genuine 70A continuous discharge rating (with thermal cutoff at 80°C), putting it among the most aggressive high-power 21700 cells on the market. Six of these cells need a charging setup that can keep up — at home and on the go. This bundle pairs 6 genuine EVE INR21700-40PL batteries with the NITECORE UMS4 (a 4-bay smart LCD charger for fast, monitored charging at your desk) and the NITECORE UI1 (an ultra-compact single-slot charger for travel or topping off a spare cell). Together, all 6 batteries can be charged at once — 4 in the UMS4, and the 5th and 6th staggered through the UI1 — with full visibility into every cell's health.

Important: EVE recommends the 40PL be used in properly engineered battery packs with temperature monitoring and appropriate BMS/PCB protection — it's built as a high-power cell for engineered battery systems, not as a casual standalone consumer replacement cell.
This is an unprotected cell — avoid mixing with batteries of a different brand, model, or charge state, and inspect the wrap for damage before every use to prevent short circuits.

Compatibility Notes
The UMS4's bays and spring-loaded contacts are sized to accommodate 21700 cells like the 40PL without any adapter, and the UI1's slot fits the same length range. This is a high-power cell built for engineered fast-charging setups, so neither charger will match its full potential charge speed, but the UMS4 (up to 3,000mA on a single occupied bay) charges meaningfully faster than the UI1 (up to 1,000mA). We'd suggest running your most time-sensitive cells through the UMS4 and treating the UI1 as a slower backup for the batteries you're least in a hurry about.

Safety Tips
- Store batteries in a proper case, keeping them away from loose metal objects to prevent short circuits
- Never disassemble, puncture, burn, or submerge the batteries
- Charge only with genuine, compatible chargers such as the NITECORE UMS4 and UI1
- The 40PL is an unprotected, ultra-high-power cell intended for use within a properly engineered battery pack with its own BMS/PCB protection — do not use it as a standalone replacement cell in casual consumer devices
- Never discharge below 2.5V or charge above 4.2V
FAQ
Q: Can I charge all 6 batteries at the same time? A: Yes. The UMS4 charges 4 batteries independently and simultaneously, while the UI1 can charge a 5th battery alongside it — or you can stagger the 5th and 6th through the UI1 if only one is used at a time.
Q: Is the 40PL meant for use in standalone devices like flashlights? A: EVE recommends the 40PL be used in properly engineered battery packs with temperature monitoring and BMS/PCB protection, not as a standalone drop-in cell for casual consumer devices. It's built for power tools, electric two-wheelers, and engineered high-drain battery packs.
Q: What does "tabless" mean for this cell? A: Tabless construction connects the electrode foil directly around the full circumference of the cell rather than through a narrow tab, which significantly reduces internal resistance and lets the cell handle much higher continuous current — a big part of why the 40PL reaches 70A.
Q: Are EVE 40PL batteries safe to charge in both chargers? A: Yes. Both the UMS4 and UI1 automatically recognize Li-ion chemistry and apply the correct charging voltage (4.2V) and current for 40PL cells.
Q: Will 21700 batteries fit in both chargers? A: Yes. Both the UMS4 and UI1 are sized to accommodate 21700 cells like the 40PL without any adapter.
Q: What's the difference between the UMS4 and UI1 in this bundle? A: The UMS4 is a 4-bay charger with an LCD screen showing detailed real-time data (battery health, internal resistance, voltage, capacity) and faster QC charging up to 3,000mA on a single bay. The UI1 is a single-slot, ultra-compact charger (40.5g) best suited for travel or a slower backup charge.
Q: How do I check if a battery is degraded? A: The UMS4's LCD display shows battery health as "Good" or "Poor" along with internal resistance readings, making it easy to spot cells that have aged or lost performance.
Q: What's in the box? A: 6 EVE INR21700-40PL batteries, 1 NITECORE UMS4 charger, 1 NITECORE UI1 charger, 2 USB-C charging cables, and user manuals for both chargers.
