INR18650-MH1 — 18650 lithium-ion cell
LG Energy Solution INR18650-MH1: 3,200 mAh typical (3,100 mAh minimum), 3.67 V nominal, 10 A discharge. A 3,200 mAh 18650 aimed at runtime: 10 A maximum continuous discharge, with cycle life rather than current capability as the design emphasis.

INR18650-MH1 — specification and pack integration
A 3,200 mAh 18650 aimed at runtime: 10 A maximum continuous discharge, with cycle life rather than current capability as the design emphasis.
What the numbers mean for a pack
- 3,200 mAh typical in a 18650 can, at 3.67 V nominal
- 10 A discharge ceiling — the pack design must hold the cell inside its temperature cut-off to use it
- 3.1 A maximum charge current sets the fastest realistic turnaround
- AC ≤40 mΩ (1 kHz) — the figure that decides voltage sag under load
Where it is used
- E-bike and light mobility packs with moderate controller limits
- Power banks and portable medical devices
- Small stationary storage and UPS modules
Integration notes
Charge CC-CV to 4.2 V within the current limits above and stop discharge at 2.5 V. These are unprotected industrial cells: a BMS or protection circuit is required, interconnects must be resistance or laser welded rather than soldered, and cells of different model, batch or state of charge must not be mixed in one pack. Charging below 0 °C is not permitted unless the pack implements a low-temperature charge strategy.
