Delivering 3600mAh at 3.6V nominal voltage with a 10A maximum continuous discharge rating, it provides the capacity and current output needed for demanding lighting and portable electronic applications. The integrated multi-protection circuit board safeguards against overcharge, over-discharge, and short circuit conditions, enabling safe operation in compatible devices without an external BMS. A rated cycle life of over 500 charges and a low self-discharge rate make this cell a reliable and economical long-term power solution. This protected button top cell is physically longer than a standard flat top unprotected 18650 battery — always verify dimensional compatibility with your device before purchase. Do not remove the protective wrap, as doing so may compromise the protection circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eApplications \/ Uses\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh-output flashlights and portable lighting systems designed for protected button top 18650 cells\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsumer electronics and personal devices requiring button top 18650 format with built-in cell-level protection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePortable power banks and single-cell devices benefiting from PCB overcharge and over-discharge protection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCamping, outdoor, and emergency lighting equipment requiring long runtime and reliable charge retention\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReplacement cells for compatible button top 18650 devices where high capacity and protection are both required\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"table-wrapper\"\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXTAR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery Type:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18650 Lithium-Ion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Capacity:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3600mAh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Voltage:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Continuous Discharge:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCycle Life:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelf-Discharge:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtected:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes (PCB) — overcharge, over-discharge, short circuit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery Top:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eButton Top\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox.
