Technical data of the 18650 batteries & differences
Size, voltage, and capacity
“18650” describes the format: Ø 18 mm × length 65 mm (cylindrical). Typical characteristics: Nominal voltage 3.6–3.7 V, end-of-charge voltage 4.2 V, end-of-discharge voltage ~2.5–2.8 V depending on application. Standard capacity range: 2,200–3,500 mAh – depending on chemistry and load capacity.
- S30: 3000 mAh, high current up to 35 A peak
- L35: Genuine 3500 mAh for maximum runtime
- G30: Powerful all-rounder with 3000 mAh
Golisi relies on robust cell construction, optimized temperature resistance, and thick, durable heat-shrink tubing—a plus for longevity, especially with daily use. Our TÜV-certified models (G25, G30, L35, S26, S30) have been tested in a multi-stage process for power output, capacity, drop resistance, and production quality.
Lifespan, charging cycles, and maintenance
Depending on the model and usage, Golisi 18650 batteries can achieve many hundreds of charging cycles. Factors affecting service life include temperature, charging rate, depth of discharge, and storage conditions.
- Practical tips: operate between 20–80% if possible, avoid high temperatures, use suitable chargers with CC/CV.
- Storage: cool/dry, approx. 3.6–3.7 V storage voltage, always in the transport box.
Areas of application & 18650 battery recommendations
Flashlights, Photo/Video, DIY/Model Making, Mobile Energy
18650 cells are versatile: from outdoor and camping to lighting and video equipment to DIY battery packs and power banks (mobile energy). Choose according to your load profile:
- High current & performance: S30, S26
- Maximum runtime at low currents: L35, L30
- Everyday use & value for money: G30, G25, G22
Which 18650 capacity is suitable for your device?
For devices with a constantly low load (sensors, small lights), you will usually benefit from maximum capacity (e.g., L35 with 3500 mAh). For medium loads, an all-rounder is a good choice (G30 with 3000 mAh). For high continuous loads, discharge currents and temperature stability are important (S26/S30). Always check the manufacturer's specifications for your device and compare them with the continuous/peak current of the cell.

Frequently asked questions about 18650 Li-ion batteries
What does “18650” actually mean?
The numbers describe the format: 18 mm diameter × 65 mm length; the 0 indicates the cylindrical shape. It is therefore a standardized Li-ion cylindrical cell type used in many devices.
What is the difference between ICR, INR, and IMR?
These terms refer to the cell chemistry used:
- ICR – high energy density, lower current capability
- INR/IMR – higher discharge current and improved thermal stability
Depending on the model, Golisi uses optimized blended chemistries to ideally combine safety and performance.
Can I use any 18650 battery in any device?
How do I properly charge and store 18650 batteries?
- Charger: Use an intelligent 18650 charger with CC/CV mode.
- Charging temperature: Room temperature, avoid heat and frost.
- Storage: Approx. 3.6–3.7 V at 15–20 °C, dry and secure in the transport box.
How can I identify reliable performance specifications?
Look for realistic capacity ratings, verified continuous/peak currents, and quality certifications such as TÜV. Golisi publishes only verified technical data.
What should I do if the heat-shrink wrap is damaged?
Please do not continue using the battery. Replace the heat-shrink wrap and perform a visual inspection. Replacement sleeves are available here:
How do I dispose of defective or old 18650 batteries?
Dispose of defective or old batteries at official collection points – never in household waste. This protects the environment and conserves resources. Many Golisi retailers also accept used batteries.
Protected vs. unprotected 18650 batteries – which should I choose?
- Protected: Integrated protection circuit against overcharge/deep discharge – ideal for devices without their own BMS.
- Unprotected: More compact, lower internal resistance – for devices with their own protection logic.
For maximum safety during charging, always use a suitable charger.
