Keeppower 3000 4.3 volts

I think it’s been touched on before but just would like to clarify.

Specs for battery above show 4.3 volt battery.
Been reading that it’s better to charge 4.2 batteries to less than 4.2 for longer life. So, does that mean that 4.18, .19, .2
would be a benefit for overall life of this 4.3 battery ?

That cell is actually rated at 4.35V, but the PCB limits it to 4.3V. That should be enough to improve battery life. If you dont have a charger that can charge to 4.3V, you can also use them with 4.2V. HKJ also measures the 4.3V rated cells at 4.2V so you can compare them to normal cells.

Thanks for the reply.

Re-read HKJ post and it looks like a good battery even with the charging shortfall.

Just assumed [but wanted to ask] that if the battery could go to 4.35 then charging to 4.2 would lengthen overall life.
Said “What the heck” and made an offer for 4 more at 9.50 each. They are on their way.

Good 3000mah batteries for 9.50 each seems good to me.

Thanks

The capacity that you will be getting if you charged them up to 4.2V is 2500mAh.

Was wondering about that also.

Thank You
