For battery cells, review the product description for real-world current recommendations, testing notes, and application guidance. Manufacturer maximum ratings should be treated as limits, not the best target for long-term pack health.
Description
LG Energy Solution M50LT 21700 Cell – 5000mAh – High-Capacity Lithium-Ion Battery - Check availability
Continuous discharge: 14.4A
The LG Energy Solution INR21700 M50LT is a high-capacity 21700 lithium-ion cell intended for LEV battery packs and protected battery assemblies where strong energy density and long cycle life are important.
With 3.69V nominal voltage, 18.2Wh nominal energy, and up to 14.4A maximum continuous discharge depending on temperature, the M50LT is suited to engineered pack applications rather than loose-cell consumer use.
LG specifies the M50LT as a cylindrical rechargeable lithium-ion battery cell and emphasizes battery-pack use with protective circuitry, with cycle life rated to ≥80% of initial energy after 1,000 cycles under the stated test conditions.

⚠️ Safety Warning for Lithium-Ion Battery Usage
This cell is intended for battery-pack use only with protective circuitry. Mishandling, unapproved use, short-circuiting, overheating, overcharging, puncture, or physical damage can cause fire, burns, or serious injury.
LG explicitly warns that this cell is not intended for stand-alone consumer use and should not be used as a removable power source for devices such as e-cigarettes, lanterns, or flashlights. 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
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!
