For RC applications, please use dedicated high-drain unprotected cells.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eQ: What does \"protected\" mean and why should I choose a protected cell?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eA: A protected cell has a small circuit board added to the negative end that automatically prevents overcharge (above 4.2V), over-discharge (below 2.5V), short circuits, and excessive current draw. This makes single-cell use much safer, especially in devices without their own battery management. The trade-off is a slightly longer cell (68.5mm vs. 65mm) and a current limit of around 5A.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eQ: How does the 3200mAh compare to 3500mAh cells?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eA: The ARB-L18-3200 offers 3200mAh, which is about 9% less capacity than a 3500mAh cell. In practical terms, this might mean 15-20 minutes less runtime on high mode in a typical flashlight. For many everyday uses—walking the dog, household tasks, or casual camping—this difference is hardly noticeable, while the 3200mAh model offers a more accessible price point with the same genuine Fenix quality and protection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eQ: How should I charge this battery?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eA: Use a quality lithium-ion battery charger with a CC-CV algorithm designed for 18650 cells. Fenix chargers are an excellent match. Charge at 0.5C (1.6A) for best longevity.
