This cell is commonly sold as “3500mAh” cell, and Olight even make a “3600mAh” protected battery with it.
The datasheet says:
- Rated Capacity: 3300mAh (0.67A discharge at 20°C)
- Capacity (Minimum): 3350mAh (0.67A discharge at 25°C )
Capacity (Typical) 3450mAh (Reference only)
It’d probably be better to call it a 3400mAh cell.

Panasonic/Sanyo NCR18650GA vs Samsung INR18650-35E and LG INR18650 MJ1:
Interesting, i had no idea the GA was a “fake” 3500mha cell. Very good to know i will consider it a 3400mha cell from now on.
And also the olight 3600mha info, i hadn’t heard about it before.
I asked hkj to review that because i thought it could be the elusive pana 3600mha cell inside, don’t know if he will though & if it is really only a GA rewrap it is not really interesting anymore.
Can you post a comparison on all the amps you tested with the LG MJ1?
Panasonic/Sanyo NCR18650GA does show less voltage sag than the Samsung INR18650-35E and LG INR18650 MJ1 in the 5-10 amps area. Probably making it a good use in direct drive and triple/quad builds were we actually want some run time also.
