FAQ

High-Rate Discharge

10C Continuous Discharge

30A continuous from a 3,000mAh can — enough to replace parallel strings in high-current packs without enlarging the footprint.

20C Pulse Capability

60A for 10 seconds and 45A for 60 seconds cover engine cranking and UPS transfer surges.

≤10mΩ Internal Resistance

Low resistance keeps voltage sag and heat generation under control when the pack is loaded.

Capacity & Cycle Life

3,000mAh Nominal Capacity

113Wh/kg in the standard 26650 format gives more runtime per cell and fewer cells per pack.

3,000 Cycles at 100% DOD

≥6,000 cycles at 80% DOD and ≥8,000 at 50% DOD reduce replacement frequency in service.

Batch Consistency

Automated winding, assembly and formation keep capacity, internal resistance 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.

  • ≥3,000 cycles at 100% DOD, with ≥6,000 cycles at 80% DOD and ≥8,000 at 50% DOD.
  • 2C maximum charge (6,000mA) with 1C standard charge at 3,000mA.
  • UL1642 · UL2054 · UL1973 · IEC62133 · UN38.3 · RoHS · REACH compliance, produced under IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 quality systems.

Cell Structure & Build

The IFR26650-30B uses a nickel-plated stainless-steel can with PET shrink film and laser-welded terminals. Internal resistance is held at or below 10mΩ so the cell can deliver 30A continuous without excessive heating.

  • Nickel-plated steel can + PET film — mechanical protection and insulation
  • Laser-welded terminals — low-resistance joints for high-current duty
  • 85 ± 2 g — consistent weight for PACK balancing
  • Batch-level traceability — from raw material to finished cell

High-Rate Discharge

Rated for 10C continuous (30A) and 20C pulse (60A for 10 seconds), the cell suits loads that combine a steady high current with short surges. A 45A / 60-second rating covers longer events such as UPS transfer and motor inrush.

  • 10C continuous / 20C 10-second pulse
  • 45A for 60 seconds
  • ≤10mΩ internal resistance
  • Discharge window −20 to +60 °C

Application Scenarios

One high-rate cell platform for loads that need 30A continuous and 60A surges.

Engine StartingCranking current for motorcycle, powersport and small-engine starters.
Data-Centre UPSShort-backup racks that need high current for a few minutes.
Power ToolsCordless tools drawing 20–30A bursts through the pack.
AGVOpportunity-charged robots with high acceleration peaks.

Jump-Start PacksPortable boosters that deliver 60A for a few seconds.
Emergency BackupStandby systems that must hold voltage under surge load.

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 IFR26650-30B deliver?
30A (10C) continuous at 25 °C, with 45A for 60 seconds and 60A for 10 seconds. The continuous rating in a finished pack depends on cell cooling and PACK design — share your duty cycle and our engineers will confirm the configuration.
How many cycles does the cell last?
Cycle life is ≥3,000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge, ≥6,000 at 80% DOD and ≥8,000 at 50% DOD. Actual life depends on charge and discharge rate, temperature and depth of discharge in service.
What charging rate is supported?
1C (3,000mA) standard charge and 2C (6,000mA) maximum, within a 0 to +60 °C charge window. A BMS with temperature sensing is recommended for fast-charge duty.
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.
