Sanyo UR18650SA 1200mAh (Red)





Official specifications:

  • Nominal capacity: min. 1200mAh

  • Nominal voltage: 3.7V

  • Charging method: CC/CV

  • Charging current: std. 840mA

  • Discharge current: 10A

  • End of discharge: 2.5V

  • Ambient temperature: Charge: 0°C ~ 40°C, Discharge: –20 ~ 60°C, Storage: –20°C ~ 50°C



A old fairly high current cell with low capacity (Datasheet is marked 2008).










The discharge charts looks good, capacity is constant at any current and the two cells matches.

















Conclusion

This is an older high current cell for tools, the last 10 years has improved cells significantly.
