Product Details

Direct Answer / Engineering Summary

The GEB IFR18650 3.2V 1500mAh High-Rate Cylindrical LiFePO4 Battery Cell is an industrial Grade-A Lithium Iron Phosphate cylindrical cell engineered for high-cycle and high-rate power applications. Delivering a verified 3.2V nominal operating voltage and 1,500mAh rated capacity (4.8Wh energy), it is rated for a sustained 10C continuous discharge (15.0A continuous) and pulse output up to 20C (30.0A ≤ 5s). Housed in an industry-standard 18650 steel canister (Ø 18.2 ± 0.2 mm × H 65.0 ± 0.3 mm) weighing approximately 42g, it combines superior thermal runaway resistance, over 2,000 cycles at 80% DoD, and flat voltage discharge characteristics. Important: this is an inherently safe 3.2V LiFePO4 cell requiring 3.65V charging cutoffs, and must not be used with 4.20V lithium-ion chargers.

Engineering Overview

Product Overview

The GEB IFR18650 3.2V 1500mAh High-Rate Cylindrical LiFePO4 Battery Cell is designed for high-stress duty cycles including professional cordless power tools, electric scooters, solar street lighting batteries, automated warehouse carts, and medical emergency equipment. Featuring high thermal decomposition thresholds (> 270°C) and low internal impedance (≤ 20 mΩ), the IFR18650 cell prevents thermal runaway under severe continuous operation. With standard dimensions of Ø 18.2 ± 0.2 mm × H 65.0 ± 0.3 mm and unit weight of Approx. 42.0g ± 1.0g, it serves as an ideal modular building block for long-life custom multi-cell battery packs.

Engineering & Integration

Integration & Operational Boundary Conditions

Charger Cutoff Verification: Engineers must ensure charger electronics terminate charging at 3.65V per series cell. Never subject LiFePO4 cells to standard 4.2V lithium-ion charge voltages.

Modular Pack Assembly: For power tool and LEV pack assembly, pure nickel strips (≥ 0.15mm) and cell spacing brackets ensure proper heat sinking and structural integrity.

Factory Wholesale & Logistics: Supplied in wholesale master cartons with full UN38.3 test summaries, RoHS documentation, and MSDS sheets.

⚙ Engineering FAQ & B2B Procurement Specifications

What is the turnaround time for custom battery pack prototypes and mass production for GEB IFR18650 3.2V 1500mAh High-Rate Cylindrical LiFePO4 Battery Cell?
Custom prototype development typically requires 7 to 10 business days after CAD drawing approval and technical specification freeze. Commercial mass production turnaround is typically 15 to 20 business days. Standard OEM minimum order quantities (MOQ) start at 50 to 100 units depending on cell chemistry, custom mold tooling, and casing complexity.
Does GEB provide UN38.3 test summaries, MSDS, and Class 9 dangerous goods export compliance?
Yes. General Electronics Technology (GEB) provides complete first-party compliance verification for all industrial battery packs, including UN38.3 test reports, 1.2m drop test appraisal certificates, MSDS/SDS sheets, and certified dangerous goods packaging compliant with IATA air transport and IMDG maritime shipping regulations.
What smart telemetry protocols and BMS protection features are supported?
Our custom smart BMS architectures support industry-standard communication protocols including UAVCAN, CANbus 2.0B, SMBus, UART, and RS485. Integrated hardware protections include multi-tier over-voltage, over-discharge, continuous over-current, short-circuit, and dual-channel NTC thermal cutoff safeties with active cell balancing options.
What are the recommended continuous and peak burst discharge margins?
To maximize lifecycle endurance and electrochemical stability, we recommend designing with a 15% to 20% continuous discharge headroom margin under typical operating loads. Peak burst discharge ratings should strictly adhere to specified duration windows (typically ≤10 seconds) while ensuring pack operating temperatures remain below 65°C.
