Why This Bundle
The Molicel P30B is built around one thing: delivering as much continuous power as possible from an 18650 cell without the voltage falling apart under load. A 30A continuous rating (36A max) paired with genuinely low internal resistance makes this one of the strongest power-to-energy cells in the 18650 format. Six of these cells need a charging setup that can keep up — at home and on the go. This bundle pairs 6 genuine Molicel INR18650-P30B Flat Top 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: Molicel's own datasheet specifies that the P30B is not intended for e-cigarette or vaporizer applications. It's built and rated for power tools, RC/motorsports, and other high-drain pack use.
Note: This is a high-drain, 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.

Supported Battery Types & Voltage
NITECORE UMS4 — compatible with 3.6V/3.7V Li-ion, 3.8V Li-ion, 3.2V LiFePO4, and 1.2V Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries, including the Molicel P30B (18650) in this bundle: IMR/Li-ion/LiFePO4: 10440, 14500, 14650, 16500, 16340(RCR123), 16650, 17350, 17500, 17650, 17670, 17700, 18350, 18490, 18500, 18650, 18700, 20700, 21700, 22500, 22650, 25500, 26500, 26650, 26700 Ni-MH/Ni-Cd: AA, AAA, AAAA, C, D Output: up to 3,000mA per bay (QC mode) / 4,000mA total

Compatibility Notes
Both the UMS4 and UI1 use spring-loaded contacts that accommodate Flat Top batteries securely without any adapter. P30B Flat Top cells measure about 65.2mm, well within the compatible battery range of both chargers.
Note: The P30B's rated standard charge current is 3A. The UMS4 can approach that with a single bay in QC mode (up to 3A), while the UI1 charges more conservatively at up to 1A — expect a longer, gentler charge on the UI1.

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: Are Molicel P30B Flat Top 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 P30B cells.
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 per bay. The UI1 is a single-slot, ultra-compact charger (40.5g) best suited for travel or charging one battery at a time.
Q: Will Flat Top batteries sit properly in both charger slots? A: Yes. Both the UMS4 and UI1 have spring-loaded/open contact designs that accommodate Flat Top and Button Top cells without any adapter.
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: Is 30A continuous discharge safe for everyday devices? A: No — the P30B is an ultra-high-power cell intended strictly for devices specifically engineered for high continuous discharge, such as power tools, RC/motorsports builds, and high-drain battery packs. Always check your device's battery requirements before use.
Q: How does the P30B compare to the P28A? A: The P28A actually carries a slightly higher discharge rating on paper (35A vs. the P30B's 30A/36A max), but the P30B is Molicel's low-impedance follow-up — its internal resistance is roughly 60% lower than the P28A's, it supports faster 3C charging, and it holds voltage more steadily under sustained high-power loads. If raw sustained power delivery and fast charging matter more than squeezing out the last bit of capacity, the P30B is the newer, more refined option.
Q: What's in the box? A: 6 Molicel INR18650-P30B Flat Top batteries, 1 NITECORE UMS4 charger, 1 NITECORE UI1 charger, 2 USB-C charging cables, and user manuals for both chargers.
