Model / catalog codeLG 21700-M64T
Cell format21700 Series
Nominal energy22.8Wh; CC/CV charge 1250mA to 4.20V, 125mA termination; discharge 1250mA to 2.50V at 25°C; maximum within the first 10 cycles
Minimum energy22.5Wh under the same measurement conditions
Nominal voltage3.54V
C-rate reference1C = 6450mA; test-current basis, not a separately specified rated-capacity claim
Standard charge1250mA CC/CV to 4.20V; 125mA termination at 25°C
Standard discharge1250mA to 2.50V at 25°C
Charge / discharge voltage limits4.20V charge; 2.50V discharge cutoff; refer to usable-cycle conditions
Maximum charge current by ambient and cell-surface temperature1250mA at 0–10°C; 4000mA at 10–50°C; both temperature conditions apply
Maximum discharge current by ambient temperature15000mA at 0–35°C; 12500mA at 35–45°C; 9000mA at 45–60°C. Sub-zero entry is ambiguous in the draft and is not assigned a rating here.
Maximum-current qualification noteThe draft lists 17500mA in the cell-surface table, while its explanatory paragraph discusses 12500mA. No unconditional 17.5A continuous rating is claimed; confirm a corrected revision and all voltage/temperature protections.
Operating temperature (ambient)Charge: −5–50°C; discharge: −20–60°C. These are operating ranges, not permission for unrestricted current at every temperature.
BMU cell-surface temperature limitsControl below 50°C during charging and below 70°C during discharging; after a discharge thermal limit is reached, resume only below 50°C.
Diameter21.15–21.55mm, as specified in the draft drawing
HeightTop to bottom: 70.45–70.85mm; shoulder to bottom: 70.00–70.30mm
Weight74.0 ± 1g, without tube and washer
Initial AC impedance<13mΩ at 1kHz after standard charge
Initial DC impedance<18mΩ; 50% SOC, 6A/1A/6A pulse sequence at 25°C, source section 4.2.2
Cycle-test referenceRecovered energy ≥80% of 22.5Wh at 500 cycles; condition text specifies charge 4000mA to 4.20V / 100mA termination, discharge 7500mA to 2.50V at 25°C; rest until below 30°C and longer than 300s. The heading says 2.7A/7.5A and requires clarification.
Declared applicationLEV (e-Bike); other applications require manufacturer confirmation

APPLICATION REVIEW

What to Check for Your Pack

LEV / e-bike battery-pack evaluation

The supplied draft identifies LEV (e-bike) use. Confirm manufacturer permission before evaluating a different application; use only in an engineered battery pack with protective circuitry.

  • Energy and load: usable energy, continuous current, peak duration and charging opportunities.
  • Mechanical and thermal fit: the exact drawing, connections, enclosure temperature and cooling arrangement.
  • Qualification: a test plan based on the finished equipment, including its protection settings and required approvals.

PROCUREMENT DOCUMENTS

Datasheet, Traceability & Certificates

Ask for the specification and drawing that match the offered lot. If your project needs a UN 38.3 test summary, SDS or a particular cell certificate, include that requirement in the enquiry.

BUYER QUESTIONS

Before You Order

Is this cell suitable for my application?

For these project types, compare usable energy at the working load, cell-holder tolerances, busbar design and the temperature-dependent operating limits. Application names on this page are evaluation starting points, not a claim that an OEM has approved this exact cell.

Can I get the LG 21700-M52VT datasheet?

Yes—send the complete model code and your project requirements. We will review the matching specification and available documentation with you. Any preliminary values should be confirmed before production approval.

What are the wholesale price, MOQ and lead time?

These are quoted for the requested model, quantity, available lot and destination. Send sample demand and expected production volume so the offer can address your schedule.

Which documents should accompany the order?

Ask for the applicable specification revision, lot identification, SDS and UN 38.3 test summary, plus any model-specific certificates required for your market. Cell documents do not replace finished-pack or equipment approval.
