Golisi IMR26650 4300mAh (Gold)



Official specifications:

• Nominal capacity: 4300mAh
• Constant discharging: 35A
• Nominal voltage: 3.7V
• Discharging cut-off voltage: 2.75V
• Charging cut-off voltage: 4.20V +/-0.05V
• Internal resistance: 30mOhm
• Standard charging current: cc/cv <=2A
• Operating temperature: Charging: 0°C ~ 45°C, Discharging: -20°C ~ 60°C

This is a high current 26650 cell with moderate capacity.










The batteries easily handles up to 20A without any significant drop in capacity. The curves tracks fairly well, with only a minor capacity difference.
The 15A discharge curve for the A cell is missing, my equipment had a fault during the charging after the 10A test.







The battery gets hot during a 30A discharge, but not too hot.















Conclusion

A 30A discharge current is usual problematic for a 26650 cell, but not for here, the cell can handle it.
This is definitly a high current cell!
