LG Chem’s testing conditions for rating Fast and Max. What is important to note is the cut-off voltage of 2.0V. The Fast discharge has been tested at both 10A and 20A. discharge testing conditions, nor did they take into account fast discharging conditions outlined by LG Chem in the spec sheet (see next section). This has likely led to the claims that the HG2 under performs. However many of these tests neither distinguished between the standard discharge vs. continuous discharge rating the capacity will be slightly reduced (watt hours more so). The nominal capacity of the HG2 is determined while discharging at these values. These are normal standard discharge values. However keep in mind that fast charging will decrease the cycle life of the HG2. (3.7V 18650 batteries are older, a standard of measurement was changed but actual voltage remains the same.)Ī 4A fast charge is also good. This is the standard voltage for all 18650 batteries. If you are interested in maximizing both amperage and capacity you should consider this cell because it doesn't get better at the moment. My comments on the HG2 specification sheet:ģ,000 milliamp hours is the highest capacity ever for a true high-drain (20A+) cell.

That can be due to a number of reasons including a quick upgraded release, unforeseen safety problems, supply chain insecurity, market ignorance, and so forth. That said, there are many cases where the newest 18650 battery with the latest specs never gains mass adoption. That means, taking into account the battery specs and LG Chem's release schedule, the LG HG2 will likely be a good contender for one of the best 18650 batteries for some months to come for high-drain applications. An average of between 6% and 10% increase in battery performance is expected, compounding yearly. LG Chem is on a rolling schedule of releases and research, all planned years in advance.

#SIGELEI 18650 BATTERIES UPGRADE#
The LG HG2 can be seen as a 500mAh capacity upgrade from its predecessors the HE2/HE4 which also have a 20A discharge limit. A battery that can both be high-drain, and high-capacity is just what everyone wants. A 20 amp, 3000 mAh milestone is, in some way a holy grail of stats. While the original release of the LG HG2 was in 2014, production has become available in Summer 2015. It also has a usb port for charging.This is LG's new brown battery - the LG HG2 Overview It is made of aluminum for its light weight and looks very sleek. This small and compact box that uses 1x 18650 Battery. It uses the Yihi SX330 chip that can handle up to 50 watts of power. The screen is also now on the side of the device. The size of the v2 is slightly taller and wider than the v1. The back battery panel is held tight by 2 strong magnets. The pin is a copper coated brass pin that is spring loaded. It features an updated outer design that makes it look more sleek.
