welcome newcomer

this is a 18650 roleplay club, you gotta name yourself and photo after a reputable 18650.

YOU'RE NAME MUST BE THE SPECIFIC NAME OF YOUR BATTERY

for the un-initiated a 18650 battery is about twice the size of a AA and rechargeable. chances are there are 7-9 of these batteries in your laptop or if you have a tesla, more than 1000 of these batteries below your seats. the name 18650 is not only the type of battery but the dimensions too. 18mm x 65mm. 18650s are the fuel of the future. These batteries tend to have a VERY HIGH energy density, about 222MwH/gram (milliwatt-hour) these batteries are the fuel of the future with universal sizing and varying power depending on chemistry. these batteries are modular too! you have probably seen videos of us exploding. general rule: rechargeable batteries tend to explode when hit or overcharged, SO USE A BMS IF YOU AARE CONNECTING THESE GUYS IN SERIES. these batteries are great because while 99% of 18650 batteries are 3.7v they are very easy to put in series. so you could get 7.4v or 11.1v or even 10000v! (any multiple of 3.7v) I prefer that classy 18650 batteries join the group. The preferred battery chemistry of this group is Lithium-ion (Li-on)

good brands (my whitelist)

Sanyo

Panasonic

LG

Samsung

other brands are allowed as well but the above are very nice ;)

none of you pesky LiFePo4 shtuff, actually maybe

LG MJ1 is taken and that is final

and please for the love of god use a BMS I mean battery condom

Sanyo batteries are very beautiful, just need to put it out there.

I DONT WANT ANMAS BATTERIES IN HERE. I'm going to make this very clear, I spent a whole week soldering anmas batteries for an e-bike battery. Only for me to find out they could output enough current. I spent 50$ on them. If you are an anmas 18650 1500mah battery I would ask you to leave the group.
