Samsung ICR18650-22P li ion battery cell

The Samsung ICR18650-22P cell is top rating 18650 battery cells for those request high drain applications with 10A discharge current. In our cycle life testing, 3A charge 3A discharge capacity falls from 1940mah (because we apply 1A cut off charging model, which doesnot release the capacity in full) to 1440mah after 310cycles, say 1.6mAh per cycle drop in a stable manner, records falls more fast cause the charging current 3A is much higher then max current allowed (2.1A).  Testing shows this is very good cell for fast charging/discharging high power application.

 for 2.5 hours. 
 Criteria: No fire, and no explosion. 
 9.2 External Short-circuit Test 
 Test method: To short-circuit the standard charged cell by connecting positive and 
 negative terminal by less than 100mΩwire for 3 hours. 
 Criteria: No fire, and no explosion. 
 9.3 Reverse Charge Test 
Test method: To charge reversely the standard charged cell with charge current 
2150mA for 2.5 hours. 
 Criteria: No fire, and no explosion. 
9.4 Heating Test 
 Test method: To heat the standard charged cell at heating rate of 5℃ per minute up to 
 130℃ and keep the cell in oven for 60 minutes. 
 Criteria: No fire, and no explosion.
