Test/review of Keeppower IMR18650 NH1835 3500mAh (Black) 2016

[size=+3]Keeppower IMR18650 NH1835 3500mAh (Black) 2016[/size]



Official specifications:

• Nominal capacity: 3500mAh
• Minimum capacity: 3400mAh
• Nominal voltage: 3.70V
• Charge voltage: 4.20V 0/-0.05V
• Standard discharge cut-off: 2.50V
• Standard charge current: 1000mA
• Charge current cut-off: 50mA
• Max. Constant discharge current: 10A
• Max. Pulse discharge current: 20A

The discharge curves looks very good with nice tracking, except the 20A curve, the battery did blow a fuse during that discharge.
This also means this test will be missing a few curves.











[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

The battery is very good, but cannot sustain 20A discharge, this matches the specifications.
