Sanyo UR18650FB 2400mAh (Red)







Official specifications:

  • Nominal capacity: 2400mAh

  • Nominal voltage: 3.70V

  • Charging: 2400mA to 4.2V

  • Maximum discharge current: 4800mA



This is a old “high capacity” cell.











The discharge curves tracks nicely, but the cell cannot deliver more than about 2C, i.e. about 5A.





















Conclusion

This cell may have been a very good cell when it was made, but it is way behind a modern cell in both capacity and current.



Notes and links

Vapcell told me that I was missing some cells in my comparator and they would be happy to supply them.
