Test/review of Samsung INR18650-35E 3500mAh (Pink) 3

Samsung INR18650-35E 3500mAh (Pink) 3







Official specifications:

  • Nominal capacity: 3500mAh

  • Minimum capacity: 3350mAh

  • Nominal voltage: 3,6V - 3,7V

  • Charging voltage: 4,2V

  • Discharge current: 8A

  • Maximum discharge current: 13A

  • Charge current: 0,6C 2000mA

  • Discharge end voltage: 2,65V

  • Pluspol: FlatTop

  • Chemistry: LiNiCoAlO2

  • Diameter: 18,55mm ± 0,1

  • Height: 65,25mm ± 0,15

  • Weight: 48g ± 1



This is a new 35E cell (Supposed to be 2021) from Samsung where there the cell includes a warning. It is a high capacity cell.








The two cells tracks fairly well, the cell can handle the rated 8A.



























Conclusion

This is a good cell, performance is better than the 2020 cell I tested and better at high current than first 35E cell I tested.

Thanks for the test HKJ :wink:
Seems a good one to use in powerbanks and flashlights with moderate “high-drain”.

Thanks for the test. Is it a higher cycle life version like the 40T3 ?

Would be nice to see the datasheet.

Thanks for your tests man! Always appreciated!

According to Vapcell, their new T42 beats the 40T in runtime and performance. Any chance of testing it? Would buy one but I’m in the UK so can’t order just cells on their own.

I have some Vapcells in queue, but not the T42 and I do not know if Vapcells have or will send it to me.

Thanks HKJ!

Thanks for the review. Good to see products improving.

Thanks for another test!

The discharge curve looks similar to the Sanyo GA… maybe even a little better.
