Lithium-ion batteries are more popular than you think. In fact, they are closer to us and greatly help us in our daily lives but most of us don’t know, this is because they are usually found in our devices and appliances rather than on the shelf of our favourite supermarket. Devices such as our smartphones, baby monitors, flashlights, and baby monitors make use of these batteries.
A typical example of Lithium-ion batteries is the 18650 battery. Commonly found and used in battery packs, an 18650 battery is a lithium-ion cell that is 18mm x 65mm in size although there could be some little variations. They are the holy grail of Lithium-ion batteries and are also preferred to be used in powering powerful devices such as laser pointers and laptops.
18650 batteries
A typical 18650 battery’s performance capacity should be in the range of 1800mAH and 3500mAH while boasting an output of about 3.7volts. They are arguably the best Lithium-ion cells to be used for rechargeable and replaceable batteries.
However, with the increasing popularity of 18650 batteries, they have become quite rampant in the market. The 18650 batteries that were like gold and only available to device manufacturers can now be found in the hands or store of virtually anybody who sells electrical appliances. This has made getting quality ones really difficult so you might want to be extra careful when shopping for them.
What Appliances Make Use of Them?
As said earlier, 18650 batteries are used in virtually all appliances ranging from our phones and laptops to our baby monitors and fitness gadgets. More important and outstanding, however is the fact that they are also used in the powering up of battery packs. Below are some of the battery packs that make use of 18650 batteries.
