Samsung SDI 50G Version B 21700 Cell – 4900mAh – High-Capacity Lithium-Ion Battery - Check availability
The Samsung SDI INR21700-50G (Ver. B) is a 21700 lithium-ion rechargeable cell designed for battery-pack applications that need high capacity, solid energy density, and moderate continuous current capability.
Samsung specifies minimum 4,900mAh standard discharge capacity, 3.63V nominal voltage, and up to 14.7A continuous discharge at -20°C to 30°C, with 9.8A continuous discharge specified at 31°C to 60°C.
The Ver. B specification uses CC-CV charging to 4.20V, calls for 2,450mA standard charge current, and emphasizes proper pack protection, cell monitoring, and welded connections instead of direct soldering.

⚠️ Safety Warning for Lithium-Ion Battery Usage
This cell should be used in a properly engineered battery pack with protective circuitry, cell-voltage monitoring, and over-temperature / over-voltage / over-current protection.
Do not solder directly to the cell, disassemble it, short the terminals, expose it to heat above 100°C, immerse it in water, or dispose of it in fire. Use only undamaged cells with intact sleeves and keep them away from loose metal objects.
Important Usage Guidelines:
- Battery Pack Use with Proper Protective Circuitry / BMS
- Spot Weld Tabs Only – Do Not Solder Directly
- Do Not Short-Circuit or Store with Loose Metal Objects
- Do Not Disassemble, Puncture, or Incinerate
- Do Not Charge Above 4.20V or Discharge Below 2.50V
- Use Only Within the Specified Temperature Range
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.
