High-Rate Discharge

20C Continuous Discharge

50A continuous from a 2,500mAh can — enough to replace parallel strings in high-current packs.

50C Pulse Capability

75A for 60 seconds and 125A for 10 seconds cover engine cranking and UPS transfer surges.

≤6mΩ Internal Resistance

Very low resistance keeps voltage sag and heat generation small under heavy load.

Charging & Cycle Life

5C Fast Charge

Up to 12,500mA charging (5C) with a 2,500mA (1C) standard charge for fast turnaround.

2,000 Cycles at 100% DOD

Cycle life of ≥2,000 cycles at ±5C and 100% depth of discharge.

Batch Consistency

Automated winding, assembly and formation keep capacity, IR and voltage aligned across batches.

Safety & Compliance

LiFePO4 Chemistry

The olivine LiFePO4 cathode provides intrinsic thermal stability and a lower risk profile than high-energy nickel chemistries.

Wide Certification Coverage

Designed to meet UL1642, UL2054, UL1973, IEC62133, UN38.3, RoHS and REACH requirements for global battery packs.

Traceable Production

Every cell carries a production batch record, supporting incoming inspection, field traceability and certification audits.

Key Takeaways

  • 20C continuous / 50C pulse — 50A continuous, 75A for 60 seconds and 125A for 10 seconds.
  • 2,500mAh in a standard 26650 can — Ø26.3 ± 0.2 mm × 65.2 ± 0.3 mm, 86 ± 2 g and 93Wh/kg.
  • ≥2,000 cycles at 100% DOD with ±5C cycling.
  • 5C maximum charge (12,500mA) with 1C standard charge at 2,500mA.
  • UL1642 · UL2054 · UL1973 · IEC62133 · UN38.3 · RoHS · REACH compliance, produced under IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 quality systems.

Cell Structure & Build

The IFR26650-25B uses a nickel-plated stainless-steel can with PET shrink film and laser-welded terminals. Internal resistance is held at or below 6mΩ so the cell can deliver 50A continuous without excessive heating.

  • Nickel-plated steel can + PET film — mechanical protection and insulation
  • Laser-welded terminals — low-resistance joints for high-current duty
  • 86 ± 2 g — consistent weight for PACK balancing
  • Batch-level traceability — from raw material to finished cell

High-Rate Discharge

Rated for 20C continuous (50A), the cell also covers 30C for 60 seconds and 50C for 10 seconds. That combination suits engine cranking, UPS transfer and power-tool loads that mix a steady high current with short surges.

  • 20C continuous (50A)
  • 30C / 60-second pulse (75A)
  • 50C / 10-second pulse (125A)
  • Discharge window −20 to +60 °C

Charging & Cycle Life

The cell accepts up to 5C charging (12,500mA), shortening turnaround between shifts. Cycle testing confirms ≥2,000 cycles at ±5C and 100% depth of discharge in the 2,500mAh, 93Wh/kg format.

  • 5C maximum charge / 1C standard
  • 93Wh/kg energy density
  • ≥2,000 cycles at 100% DOD
  • Charge window 0 to +60 °C

Storage & Reliability

Store the cell at −20 to +45 °C in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight. Long-term storage above +45 °C accelerates calendar ageing; model-specific capacity-retention and recovery figures are available in the datasheet.

What continuous current can the IFR26650-25B deliver?
50A (20C) continuous at 25 °C, with 75A for 60 seconds and 125A for 10 seconds. Continuous current in a finished pack depends on cell cooling and PACK design.
What charging rate is supported?
1C (2,500mA) standard charge and up to 5C (12,500mA) fast charge, within a 0 to +60 °C charge window. A BMS with temperature sensing is recommended for fast-charge duty.
How many cycles does the cell last?
≥2,000 cycles at ±5C and 100% depth of discharge. Actual life depends on rate, temperature and depth of discharge in service.
Which certifications does the cell support?
The cell is designed to meet UL1642, UL2054, UL1973, IEC62133, UN38.3, RoHS and REACH requirements. Final certification is issued for the completed pack and should be confirmed with our quality team for your project.
Can PLB build a custom PACK around this cell?
Yes. PLB designs and assembles custom LiFePO4 packs with matching BMS, enclosure, terminals and communication interfaces. Send your voltage, capacity, current and mechanical requirements for a proposal.
