Why This Bundle
The EVE 20P is a genuine 30A continuous discharge cell in a compact 2000mAh package — the kind of cell built for devices that need to pull hard current without the voltage falling apart. A cell this capable deserves a charger that treats it right. This bundle pairs 2 genuine EVE INR18650-20P Flat Top batteries with the NITECORE UI2 — a compact, USB-C powered charger that automatically selects the right charging mode and includes trickle charging and over-discharge protection. Everything you need to charge and maintain your cells, ready out of the box.

The Charger: NITECORE UI2
-
USB-C input: charge from any 5V power bank, solar panel, or USB adapter — great for travel and outdoor use
-
Automatic CC/CV Charging: intelligently selects the most suitable charging mode for each cell
-
Independent Dual-Bay Control: each of the 2 bays charges independently without affecting the other
-
Trickle Charging: automatically switches to 100mA trickle mode for batteries below 2.9V, then up to 1000mA standard charging above 2.9V
-
Over-Discharge Activation: automatically detects and reactivates over-discharged protected Li-ion cells
-
Multiple Safety Protections: reverse-polarity/short-circuit protection, intelligent temperature control, and overcharge protection
-
Ultra-Compact & Lightweight: just 79.5g, 125.5 × 59.5 × 32.1mm
NITECORE UI2 – Supported Battery Types & Voltage
Charges 3.6V/3.7V Li-ion/IMR batteries, including the EVE 20P (18650) in this bundle:
10340, 10350, 10440, 10500, 12340, 12500, 12650, 13450, 13500, 13650, 14430, 14500, 14650, 16500, 16340 (RCR123), 16650, 17350, 17500, 17650, 17670, 18350, 18490, 18500, 18650, 20700, 21700, 22500, 22650, 25500, 26500, 26650
Output voltage: 4.2V±1% Output current: up to 1000mA per bay (max 2 bays simultaneously)
Compatibility Notes
The UI2's charging bays are open-ended, allowing Flat Top batteries to seat securely without any adapter. EVE 20P Flat Top cells measure about 65.0mm, well within the UI2's compatible battery range.
Note: The UI2 charges at up to 1000mA per bay, which is below the 20P's 4A max fast-charge rating. Expect a longer, gentler charge cycle — good for cell longevity, but budget extra time versus a high-current dedicated charger.
What's Included
- EVE INR18650-20P Flat Top Battery × 2
- NITECORE UI2 Charger × 1
- USB-C Charging Cable × 1
- User Manual × 1
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 a genuine, compatible charger such as the NITECORE UI2
- The 20P is an unprotected, high-drain cell intended for compatible, purpose-built devices — do not use it in unauthorized or modified equipment
- Never discharge below 2.5V or charge above 4.2V
FAQ
Q: Can the NITECORE UI2 charge EVE 20P Flat Top batteries safely? A: Yes. The UI2 automatically selects the optimal CC/CV charging mode for Li-ion cells like the 20P, with a 4.2V±1% output voltage and up to 1000mA per bay.
Q: Will Flat Top batteries sit properly in the UI2 charger bays? A: Yes. The UI2's open charging bays are designed to accommodate both Flat Top and Button Top cells without any adapter or modification.
Q: Can I charge both batteries at the same time? A: Yes. The UI2 has 2 independent bays, each capable of up to 1000mA, and one battery's charging status does not affect the other.
Q: Can I power the UI2 with a power bank while traveling? A: Yes. The UI2 has a USB-C input and works with any 5V power source, including power banks, solar panels, and USB wall adapters.
Q: What happens if a 20P battery has over-discharged? A: The UI2 includes an over-discharge activation feature that automatically detects and reactivates protected Li-ion cells that have dropped too low from storage or improper use. Note that the 20P is an unprotected cell, so always avoid discharging it below 2.5V in the first place.
Q: Is 30A continuous discharge safe for everyday devices? A: No — the 20P is a high-drain cell intended strictly for devices specifically engineered for high continuous discharge, such as certain power tools and high-output flashlights. Always check your device's battery requirements before use.
Q: How does the 20P compare to other 2000mAh-class high-drain cells like the Samsung 20S? A: Both land in similar territory — 2000mAh capacity paired with a 30A discharge rating — making them comparable choices for devices that need strong current output without a lot of bulk.
Q: What's in the box? A: 2 EVE INR18650-20P Flat Top batteries, 1 NITECORE UI2 charger, a USB-C charging cable, and a user manual.
