Frequently asked questions

Do I need a charger?

The cell does not charge itself. You charge it in an external charger with a Li-ion programme or in the battery device if it has a charging function.

Can I mix cells in a device with several cells?

Better not. In devices with several cells they should be identical batteries from the same manufacturer with the same capacity and the same age.

What does the discharge current of 20 A tell you?

It is the maximum value the cell may deliver. The device should not draw more than the cell can deliver.
