INR18650-P30S — specification and pack integration
3,000 mAh at 36 A standard discharge with a 150 W maximum power rating at an 83 °C cut-off — the highest combined capacity-and-power figure in the Molicel 18650 line.
What the numbers mean for a pack
- 3,000 mAh typical in a 18650 can, at 3.6 V nominal
- 36 A discharge ceiling — the pack design must hold the cell inside its temperature cut-off to use it
- 6 A maximum charge current sets the fastest realistic turnaround
- 631 Wh/L · 234 Wh/kg
- AC 6.5 mΩ (30% SOC) · DC 14.5 mΩ (50% SOC) — the figure that decides voltage sag under load
Where it is used
- Heavy-lift and cargo drones — 150 W peak per cell reduces parallel count
- Motorsport and off-road two-wheeler packs
- High-end garden and power tools running sustained heavy loads
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.
