INR18650-MJ1 — 18650 lithium-ion cell
LG Energy Solution INR18650-MJ1: 3,500 mAh typical, 3.635 V nominal, 10 A discharge. The higher-capacity sibling of the MH1 at 3,500 mAh, holding the same 10 A continuous ceiling. Choose it when pack volume is fixed and runtime is the constraint.

INR18650-MJ1 — specification and pack integration
The higher-capacity sibling of the MH1 at 3,500 mAh, holding the same 10 A continuous ceiling. Choose it when pack volume is fixed and runtime is the constraint.
What the numbers mean for a pack
- 3,500 mAh typical in a 18650 can, at 3.635 V nominal
- 10 A discharge ceiling — the pack design must hold the cell inside its temperature cut-off to use it
- 3.4 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
- Flashlights, headlamps and handheld instruments
- Light-duty cordless tools
- Telecom and industrial backup packs where energy density drives cell count
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.
