The Sanyo NCR18650GA model is the latest battery from Sanyo/Panasonic, featuring an exceptionally high capacity and discharge rate. The Sanyo cell has been manufactured for industrial applications, e-mobility, laptops, LEDs, model building, and all other areas where powerful and long-lasting batteries are required. The positive terminal is slightly raised, which means that two cells can make contact when placed end to end.

Safety notes: Lithium cells must only be operated with protective electronics. Please note that lithium cells should only be used by authorized personnel. Improper handling or short circuits can lead to fire or explosion.

Additional features: Lithium-ion batteries are thermally stable and do not suffer from memory effect. They operate on the basis of lithium and are characterized by a high energy density.

Notes: Charging lithium-ion batteries requires a special charger that charges the batteries according to a specific charging method (CCCV = constant current, constant voltage). The batteries must not be charged above a voltage of 4.2 volts, as this poses a risk of fire and explosion. It is beneficial to charge the batteries only up to about 4.1 volts, as this significantly increases their lifespan and the number of charge cycles.
