High quality Fenix 18650 3400mAh rechargeable battery (ARB-L18-3400) with protected electronics are based on high-end NCR18650B cells from Panasonic with improved LiNiCoO2 technology, which brings higher safety and longer life. Li-ion rechargeable batteries are characterized by a very high capacity, they do not suffer from the memory effect or self-discharge. Li-ion in the size of 18650 are the best choice in terms of stored energy due to the size and weight of the battery.

Fenix battery protection consists of internal safety mechanisms and protective electronics. The added electronic circuits prevent the cell from being overcharged, its excessive discharge and against a short circuit. If the battery electronics evaluates that the limit values have been reached, it safely disconnects the cell.

Internal protection consists of a separator, the most modern protection against overheating (HRL - Heat Resistance Layer) and a special anti-explosion valve. In the event that the gas pressure in the cell exceeds a certain limit, the internal separator separates the electrodes inside the battery and thus de-facto interrupts the exothermic reaction, and the anti-explosion valve releases the excess gas pressure outside the battery. Thanks to the combination of electronic and mechanical (temperature and pressure) protection, Fenix batteries are among the safest li-ion batteries available.

In its size, the 18650 battery corresponds roughly to two CR123A lithium batteries, which is why it is often used in flashlights as a rechargeable alternative to these primary cells. First, check if your appliance supports this article. 18650 3400 mAh batteries are primarily intended for Fenix LED flashlights E28R V2.0, E30R, Fenix E35 UE (not intended for E35 V3. 0 and E35R), PD32R, PD35 V3.0, PD35R ACE, TK11 TAC, TK11R, TK15, TK16 (1000 lm version only), TK25 UV, TK25 IR, TK25 Red, TK25 R&B, TK35R, TK75, FD41, LD30, LD30R, LD35R, WT25R.
