⚠️ Safety Warning for Lithium-Ion Battery Usage
This is a rechargeable lithium-ion cell and must be handled using appropriate charging controls, pack protection, and thermal management. Overcharging, short-circuiting, crushing, puncture, overheating, or physical damage can cause fire, burns, or serious injury.
Observe the published limits for 4.20V maximum charge voltage, 2.50V normal discharge cut-off, and the stated charge/discharge temperature ranges. Stop using the cell if the wrapper, can, or terminals are damaged.
Important Usage Guidelines:
- Use Only with a Compatible Li-Ion Charger / BMS
- Do Not Exceed 4.20V Charging Voltage
- Do Not Discharge Below 2.50V in Normal Use
- Observe Charge and Discharge Temperature Limits
- Spot Weld Only – Do Not Solder Directly
- Do Not Use if the Cell Wrap or Can Is Damaged
Orders ship from Florida when inventory is available. Lithium-ion cells require proper handling, protected packs, correct chargers, and safe storage. Do not solder directly to battery terminals.
