Samsung INR18650-33G 3150mAh (Blue)



Official specifications:

• Typical capacity: 3150mAh
• Minimum capacity: 3000mAh
• Charge voltage: 4.20V
• Nominal voltage: 3.60V
• Charging method: CC/CV
• Standard charge current: 975mA
• Maximum charge current: 3250mA (Not for cycle life)
• Maximum continuous discharge current: 6500mA
• Maximum pulse discharge current: 9750mA
• Discharge cut-off voltage: 2.5V
• Cycle life: 500 cycles to 75% with 975mA charge and 3250mA discharge.
• Operating temperature: charge: 0°C ~ 45°C, discharge: -20°C ~ 60°C
• Storage temperature: 1 month: -20°C ~ 60°C, 3 months: -20°C ~ 40°C, 1 year: -20°C ~ 45°C

This is a high capacity cell with limited current capabilities.










The discharge curves matches fine, but the cell is not for high current, even 10A is over the limit, but then it is not rated for more than 6.5A





















Conclusion

It is a good quality high capacity cell, but watch out for charge current.
