LG 18650 MH1 3200mAh (Cyan)



Official specifications:

• Nominal capacity: 3200 mAh
• Minimum capacity: 3100 mAh
• Nominal Voltage: 3.63V
• Standard Charge: Constant current 0.5C (1550mA), Constant voltage 4.2V, End current(Cut off) 50mA
• Max. Charge Voltage: 4.2 ± 0.05V
• Max. Charge Current: 1.0 C (3100mA)
• Standard Discharge: Constant current 0.2C (620mA), End voltage(Cut off) 2.5V
• Max. Discharge Current: 10A
• Weight Approx.: 49.0 g
• Cycle life: 500 (0.5C charge and discharge)
• Operating Temperature: Charge 0 ~ 45°C, Discharge -20 ~ 60°C
• Storage Temperature: 1 month -20 ~ 60°C, 3 month -20 ~ 45°C, 1 year -20 ~ 20°C

This is a cell with high capacity for fairly high loads and with good cycle life.










The matching between the two cell is very impressive and capacity do not drop much with load. I looks like the rated current of 10A is very resonable.















Conclusion

There is not much to say about this cell, it looks like a very good cell and is designed for use with standard 4.2 volt chargers.

Thank you for the test very informative. Seems like the MH1 holds a higher voltage and has virtually the same capacity and is cheaper than the panasonic 3400mah!
