BHL18650-2500-ULT Ultra-Low Temperature Lithium-Ion Cell | Features & Applications


Ⅰ. Core Product Advantages


1. 极致耐低温,-80℃稳定放电


Operating temperature limits: charging 0℃~40℃, discharging -80℃~55℃.

The cell retains ≥95% capacity at 55℃ high temperature, delivers full rated capacity at room temperature and maintains 95% capacity at 0℃, while keeping no less than 80% capacity under -80℃ extreme cold conditions with a low-temperature discharge cut-off voltage of 2.5℃. Adopting exclusive low-temperature electrolyte formula, it requires no external heating modules, greatly reducing thermal management costs for polar unmanned equipment and perfectly adapting to devices operating at -70℃~-80℃ ultra-low temperatures.


2. Stable Cycle Performance & Low Self-Discharge for Low-Maintenance Field Operation


The cell maintains over 80% rated capacity after 1000 charge-discharge cycles under standard working conditions, and retains ≥85% residual capacity after 30-day full-charge static storage at room temperature with ultra-low self-discharge rate. For long-term storage, a state of charge of 10%~35% is recommended. When stored in dry environments at -20℃~45℃, only seasonal supplementary charging is required. It is highly suitable for long-term shelved equipment in border and polar regions and effectively reduces manual maintenance frequency.


3. Full-Range Safety Certification with Zero Thermal Runaway at All Temperatures

The cell has passed full-scale safety tests including overcharge, deep overdischarge, short circuit, 135℃ thermal shock, high-low temperature alternation, three-axis vibration and six-direction drop, with zero fire or explosion throughout all tests. The integrated steel shell provides excellent extrusion and impact resistance. The cell surface temperature is controlled below 60℃ during charging and ≤70℃ during discharge. Matched with a dedicated protection board, it achieves triple protection against overcharge, overdischarge and overcurrent, fully meeting military-grade and polar high-standard safety requirements.


4. Superior Weather Resistance & Aging Resistance for Harsh Cold-Region Conditions


After 10~55Hz three-axis swept vibration, 1-meter six-direction drop and long-term damp-heat testing at 40℃ & 95% RH, the cell presents no deformation or liquid leakage and retains over 95% capacity. The customized purple low-temperature sleeve film features UV resistance, moisture-proof and anti-freezing performance. Cells in the same pack feature voltage difference ≤20mV and internal resistance difference ≤6mΩ, with internal pack temperature deviation ≤5℃, eliminating local capacity attenuation in extreme cold environments.


5. Standard Universal Specification for Efficient Bulk PACK Assembly


Adopting universal standard 18650 dimensions, the cell is packaged with 100 pieces per inner box and 200 pieces per outer box with shockproof and anti-collision protection for safe transportation. Only resistance welding and laser welding are permitted, while tin welding is prohibited. No rigid limit exists for series-parallel configuration, and fuses can be added for series circuits. The battery pack supports waterproof and anti-static structural design. Slight liquid leakage will not erode the protection circuit board. Custom molds are not required, enabling rapid mass production for equipment manufacturers.


Ⅱ. Industry Application Scenarios
