EVE 26VA 18650 Cell - 2650mAh 13A - Reliable Lithium-Ion Battery
Maximum discharge: 13A
Updated VA Version: This version is rated at 2650mAh nominal capacity, 2600mAh minimum capacity, and up to 13A maximum discharge according to the EVE specification.
The EVE 26VA 18650 2650mAh is an upgraded lithium-ion rechargeable cell designed for stable output, improved capacity, and stronger discharge capability compared with the regular EVE 26V version.
With a 2650mAh nominal capacity, 3.6V nominal voltage, and up to 13A maximum discharge, this cell is well suited for protected battery packs, portable electronics, lighting systems, backup modules, test packs, and general-purpose rechargeable power assemblies.
This is a flat top, unprotected 18650 cell and should only be used in properly designed battery packs with an appropriate BMS/PCB. Manufacturer maximum ratings should be treated as limits, not the preferred target for long-term pack health.

Important Note: This is an unprotected lithium-ion cell. It must be used with proper protection circuitry, correct charging settings, and a properly designed battery pack. Do not use loose cells without understanding lithium-ion battery safety.
⚠️ Safety Warning for Lithium-Ion Battery Usage
Customers should have a clear understanding of lithium-ion battery handling and safety before making a purchase. Lithium-ion batteries are highly sensitive and may pose fire, burn, or explosion risks if improperly handled. Always charge batteries on fire-resistant surfaces, and never leave them charging unattended.
By purchasing, you assume full responsibility for any injury, damage, or loss arising from the incorrect use or handling of lithium-ion batteries or chargers. Compatibility with specific devices is not guaranteed. Only charge using a smart charger designed specifically for this battery type, and do not mix old or used batteries with new ones.
Important Usage Guidelines:
- Not for Use in E-Cigarettes or Similar Devices: Lithium-ion batteries present a serious risk of injury, property damage, or even death if improperly used.
- Risk of Fire and Explosion: Misuse can cause batteries to ignite, explode, or release harmful gases.
- Always Use in a Protected Pack: Ensure batteries are used within intended specifications and supported by appropriate circuitry.
- Proper Storage and Handling: Store batteries in protective cases, away from metal items to prevent short circuits.
- Inspection Prior to Use: Do not use batteries with damaged wrappers, torn insulators, or visible damage.
- Follow Manufacturer's Charging Specifications: Avoid overcharging or over-discharging, and never alter, dismantle, puncture, crush, or burn.
- Heat and Water Precautions: Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or any liquids.
- Assembly Guidelines: Batteries should only be spot welded. Do not solder directly onto battery terminals.
Users are expected to have battery-handling knowledge before purchasing. By using these batteries, you acknowledge that usage is solely at your own risk, and you take full responsibility for any resulting consequences.
For Resellers: Please ensure all safety information is passed along to end users to promote safe handling and proper use.
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.

Wow, these cells are great!
I purchased some of these tabless cells to try on my 1S 3" HD Toothpick drone build, and, albeit a bit heavy for 1S, it flies pretty well. Not a freestyle monster, but an endurance beast with decent send. These cells shrug off the demands of a BETAFPV Matrix HD AIO flight controller/12A ESC and some 1202.5 11000KV motors. I'm getting 15+ minutes of speedy flight time from a single cell trying not to go below 3.2V, and about 20+ minutes cruising. Love these cells and will definitely buy more when time comes, only from DIY500AMP, who are terrific!
