Cylindrical 18650 battery is being used in medical devices, power tools, e-bikes, and electric vehicle as a pack. To assemble specific numbers of 18650 cells in series and parallel into a bigger pack according to necessary power, and finally to ensue safety adding a BMS to it. The bigger the pack is, the more complex the manufacturing process will be, more labor will also be devoted into it. That's why higher capacity 18650 batteries are requested to achieve same power with less quantity of cells
Temperature is the main factor impacting the life span of battery. 18650 cylindrical cells need to be stored in a dry, room temperature condition. At extreme high temperatures, there can be permanent change on electrode and electrolyte, and lead to the damage of the battery. At lower temperature condition, Ions move more slowly between the 2 electrodes, thus there is few electronic conductivity happens. The range of -20 to +50°C is sufficient but the most optimal storage temperature is 25°C.
The 18650 lithium cell is a Li-ion type battery which has found its application in many fields such as portable electronics, smart home appliance and electric vehicles. The main reason for this NMC 18650 cells being successful is its properties compared to its competitors. The most competitive advantage of 18650 cylindrical cells such as 18650 2200mah battery is energy density, it has the highest power compared to lead acid or LFP battery, to achieve a more compact battery pack for use. Furthermore, it does not have memory effect, which is also a key property for it's popularity.
