Key Takeaways

  • 5C continuous charging (16,500mA) — around 12 minutes to full in a properly cooled pack.
  • 3,300mAh in a standard 26650 can — Ø26.3 ± 0.2 mm × 65.3 ± 0.2 mm and approximately 85 g.
  • ≥2,000 cycles at 3C/3C, 25 °C — long service life under frequent fast charging.
  • 98.2% retention / 99.5% recovery after 28 days at 25 °C.
  • UL1642 · UL2054 · UL1973 · IEC62133 · UN38.3 · RoHS · REACH compliance, produced under IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 quality systems.

Cell Structure & Build

The IFR26650-33B uses a nickel-plated stainless-steel can with PET shrink film and laser-welded terminals. Internal resistance is below 20mΩ and cell weight is approximately 85 g, keeping strings balanced in fast-charge packs.

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

Fast-Charge Behaviour

The cell accepts 5C continuous charge (16,500mA) at 25 °C, taking roughly 12 minutes from empty to full in a pack with adequate cooling. More than 90% of the charge is delivered at constant current, so turnaround stays predictable.

  • 5C continuous charge at 16,500mA
  • ≈12 minutes to full charge
  • More than 90% charge efficiency
  • Operating window −20 to +60 °C

Application Scenarios

One fast-charge cell platform for equipment that cannot wait long between shifts.

Service RobotsCleaning and delivery robots recharged between short operating windows.
Inspection RobotsField units that return to a dock for a 12-minute top-up.
Portable Power StationsCompact ESS products where recharge time drives the user experience.
High-End Power ToolsProfessional tools with 5C-capable chargers and packs.
AGV Opportunity ChargingRobots that charge during natural idle periods instead of overnight.
Medical CartsMobile workstations that must be back in service quickly.
Backup ModulesStandby units that need a fast, predictable recharge after discharge.

Storage & Reliability

Storage testing at 25 °C for 28 days showed 98.2% capacity retention and 99.5% recovery. Store the cell at −20 to +45 °C in a dry environment; long-term storage above +45 °C accelerates calendar ageing.

How fast can the IFR26650-33B charge?
The cell supports 5C continuous charge at 16,500mA, which gives roughly 12 minutes from empty to full. Actual charge time depends on the charger, BMS and thermal design of the pack.
What charger and BMS do I need?
Use a CC/CV charger with a 3.65V limit and 0.02C cut-off, and a BMS rated for at least 16,500mA charge current with cell temperature sensing.
Does fast charging shorten cycle life?
Cycle testing at 3C charge / 3C discharge, 25 °C, confirms 2,000 cycles. Thermal management is the main factor in service life — keep cells within the operating window.
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.
