A-grade 21700 battery cells

What is a 21700 battery?

A 21700 battery is a high-capacity, rechargeable lithium-ion cell designed for superior energy efficiency and performance. With a standard size of 21mm in diameter and 70mm in length, these batteries were developed as a next-generation improvement over 18650 cells, offering increased power output, extended runtime, and higher energy density.

How big is a 21700 cell?

The 21700 cell stands out due to its standardized dimensions of 21mm in diameter and 70mm in length. These measurements make it larger than the widely used 18650 cell, which measures 18mm by 65mm. This increase in size allows the 21700 to deliver higher energy storage and improved performance.

What is the difference between a 21700 and a smaller battery?

One of the standout features of the 21700 is its higher capacity and energy density compared to smaller batteries. This allows it to power larger devices, such as electric vehicles and solar energy storage systems, with more reliable performance and fewer recharges. As mentioned earlier, the 21700 battery is 21mm in diameter and 70mm in length.

Are 21700 batteries safe?

Unprotected 21700 batteries: Lack built-in safety features and are generally used in battery packs with external battery management systems (BMS). 21700 batteries are widely used in: Electric vehicles, with companies like Tesla and other manufacturers using them in battery packs for improved energy storage and performance.
