⚠️ Safety Warning for Lithium-Ion Battery Usage
This cell is intended for battery-pack use only with protective circuitry. Mishandling, short-circuiting, overheating, overcharging, puncture, or physical damage can cause fire, burns, or serious injury.
LG Energy Solution states that this cell is not intended for use outside of a battery pack and not for stand-alone, consumer-replaceable use in products such as e-cigarettes, lanterns, flashlights, or similar devices. Use only in a properly engineered battery pack with suitable BMS/BMU protection and temperature monitoring.
Important Usage Guidelines:
- Battery Pack Use Only – Not for Stand-Alone Consumer Use
- Use with Proper Protective Circuitry / BMS / BMU
- Spot Weld Only – Do Not Solder Directly
- Do Not Use if Wrap Is Damaged
- Prevent Shorts – Keep Away from Loose Metal Objects
- Not for E-Cigarettes, Lanterns, or Flashlights

Let customers speak for us
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!
