VTC6 30A 3000 mAh – BATERAI VTC 6 – pack of one

Description

The Sony/Murata VTC6 is a high-performance 18650 lithium-ion battery widely recognized for its excellent balance of capacity and high-current discharge capability.

Technical Specifications

• Model: US18650VTC6

• Nominal Capacity: 3000mAh

• Maximum Continuous Discharge Current (CDR): 20A (Note: While often marketed as “30A,” the true continuous rating is 20A. It can handle 30A only with strict temperature monitoring/cut-off).

• Nominal Voltage: 3.6V

• Charging Voltage: 4.2V

• Chemistry: NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt)

• Size: 18650 (18mm diameter, 65mm length)

• Type: Flat Top (standard for most packs and high-drain devices)

Key Features

• High Energy Density: 3000mAh capacity provides excellent runtime for its size.

• Reliability: Manufactured by Murata (formerly Sony Energy), known for rigorous quality control and high safety standards in the industry.

• High Drain: Capable of handling high-demand loads, making it a favorite for power tools, high-performance flashlights, and hobbyist electronics.

Important Safety & Usage Guidelines

Crucial Warning: Lithium-ion batteries, especially high-drain models like the VTC6, are sensitive to misuse. Improper handling can result in fire, explosion, or severe injury.

• Avoid Over-Discharge: Never allow the voltage to drop below 2.5V. If it drops too low, the battery may become unstable and unsafe to recharge.

• Charging: Use only a high-quality smart charger specifically designed for 18650 lithium-ion batteries. Do not use generic, non-regulated charging circuits.

• Temperature: Do not expose the battery to temperatures above 60°C. High heat will degrade the chemistry and increase the risk of venting.

• Physical Protection: If the outer PVC wrapper (shrink wrap) becomes torn or damaged, do not use the battery. Re-wrap it immediately using an 18650-specific PVC sleeve to prevent short-circuiting.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage (more than a few weeks), keep the battery at approximately 40%–60% charge.

Verification and Authenticity

Because the VTC6 is a premium battery, there are many counterfeit versions on the market.

• Weight: An authentic VTC6 should weigh approximately 45g to 47g.

• Appearance: Look for clear, sharp printing on the cell wrapper and a distinctive top cap design.

• Source: Always purchase from reputable electronics component suppliers to ensure you are receiving genuine Murata/Sony cells rather than re-wrapped or lower-grade alternatives.
