Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary applications for Molicel 21700 batteries?
These cells are specifically engineered for ultra-high-drain applications, including professional power tools, FPV drones, agricultural UAVs, robotics, and electric vehicles requiring high peak currents.
Is the Molicel P45B better than the P42A?
The P45B is an upgrade over the P42A, offering slightly higher capacity (4500mAh vs 4200mAh) and significantly better thermal performance and discharge capability at high currents.
What is the safe discharge cut-off voltage?
The recommended discharge cut-off voltage is 2.5V. Discharging below this level frequently can cause irreversible damage to the cell chemistry and reduce cycle life.
Can these batteries be fast-charged?
Yes, models like the P45B support fast charging up to 2C (9.0A), though standard charging (1C or less) is recommended for daily use to maximize the battery's lifespan.
How should I store the cells if not in use?
Batteries should be stored at approximately 50% State of Charge (SOC) in a cool, dry place (ideally below 25°C). For long-term storage, check the voltage every 3 months.
What does the "AC Internal Resistance" signify?
It indicates the cell's ability to handle high current loads. A lower internal resistance (like the ≤7mΩ found in the P50B) means less heat generation and higher efficiency during heavy discharge.
