Golisi IMR18650 3000mAh S30 (Black)







Official specifications:

  • Size: 18 x 65mm

  • Capacity: 3000mAh

  • Constant Current: 35A

  • Nominal Voltage: 3.7V

  • Charging cut-off voltage: 4.20±0.05V

  • Discharge cut-off voltage: 2.75V

  • Internal resistance: 20mOhm

  • Standard charging current: cc/cv(<=2A)

  • Cycle times: >800

  • Operate temperature: Charging: 0°C ~ 45°C), Discharging: –20°C ~ 60°C



This is a high current and high capacity 18650 cell.










The discharge curves tracks nicely and the battery can deliver up to 15A with nearly constant capacity.





I stopped the 20A discharge due to temperature.

















Conclusion

This is fairly good high current cell, but 35A is too high continuous rating, it is more like 15A range.
