About the Molicel INR18650-M35A 18650 Li-ion Cell 3,500 mAh 10 A
The M35A is the capacity cell in Molicel's 18650 line and sits in the company's medium-power family. Molicel lists it under power tools, garden tools and home appliances — the firm cites production use in leading cordless vacuum cleaners — and under light electric vehicles such as e-bikes, e-scooters and e-skateboards.
Why pack builders specify it
- 3,500 mAh at 10 A, capacity-first without dropping to the 8 A ceiling of comparable cells
- Discharge rated to -40 °C, useful for outdoor equipment and cold-chain logistics
- Molicel cites production use in leading cordless vacuum brands
- Standard charge 1.7 A suits overnight or shift-based charging rather than fast turnaround
Typical applications
- Cordless vacuum cleaners and home appliances – Molicel's own medium-power listing targets this segment
- Garden tools – Mowers, trimmers and blowers with moderate continuous draw
- Light electric vehicles – E-bikes, e-scooters, e-skateboards and recumbent trikes at moderate current
- Industrial handhelds and security – Terminals, scanners and surveillance equipment needing long shifts
Where it fits
Pick the M35A where 3,500 mAh and a moderate 10 A ceiling fit, especially if low-temperature discharge matters. For continuous load above 10 A, move to the P28A (35 A) or P30B (36 A) and accept less capacity.
Charging and pack integration
Charge CC-CV to 4.2 V within the current limits listed 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.
Certifications and documentation
UN38.3, MSDS, IEC 62133-2, UL 1642, CE, RoHS, REACH. UN38.3 test summary, MSDS and the cell specification are available on request.
