ULTRALAST
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ULTRALAST from 3G Electric.
What is the nominal voltage of ULTRALAST 18650 batteries?
ULTRALAST 18650 lithium-ion batteries listed in the 3G Electric catalog have a nominal voltage of 3.7V DC. This is the standard nominal voltage for lithium-ion cells in the 18650 form factor. Actual charged voltage will be higher (typically 4.2V for full charge) and cutoff voltage lower, depending on the device and charger. Always confirm the voltage requirements of your equipment before substituting or installing cells. The 3.7V DC rating applies to the specific part numbers UL1865-26-1P, UL1865-34-1P, UL1865-26-2P, and UL1865-34-2P as listed.
What charger should be used with ULTRALAST 18650 cells?
ULTRALAST offers chargers designed specifically for 18650 lithium-ion cells, including part numbers ULLIONCHG and UL1865K-26. These chargers are configured for the 18650 size and lithium-ion chemistry. Using a charger intended for a different cell size or chemistry can damage the cell or create a safety hazard. Match the charger to the cell's chemistry and form factor. The UL1865K-26 is a kit that includes charging capability for 18650 cells. For detailed charging parameters such as charge current and termination method, refer to the manufacturer's documentation for the specific charger model.
Are ULTRALAST 18650 batteries available in multi-packs?
Yes. The ULTRALAST line includes 2-pack configurations, such as part numbers UL1865-26-2P and UL1865-34-2P. These contain two 18650 lithium-ion cells with a nominal voltage of 3.7V DC. Single-cell options are also available, including UL1865-26-1P and UL1865-34-1P. Multi-packs are useful for maintaining matched sets of cells for devices that require more than one cell, or for keeping spare cells on hand. When using multi-cell configurations, ensure cells are matched and charged together as recommended by the device manufacturer.
What devices can use ULTRALAST 18650 cells?
ULTRALAST 18650 cells are suitable for devices that accept the standard 18650 form factor and require a 3.7V DC lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Common applications include portable electronics, flashlights, power tools, portable instrumentation, test equipment, handheld tools, medical devices, and backup power systems. The 18650 size is widely used, but device compatibility depends on physical fit, voltage, capacity, and discharge characteristics. Always verify that the cell's specifications meet the device requirements. Do not use a cell in a device unless the device is designed for that cell's chemistry and voltage.
Does 3G Electric ship ULTRALAST products internationally?
3G Electric is headquartered in Singapore and provides logistics support for worldwide delivery. ULTRALAST batteries and chargers can be shipped to international destinations, subject to applicable shipping regulations for lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion cells are classified as dangerous goods for transport, and shipping methods, packaging, and documentation must comply with international and local regulations. Buyers should confirm shipping eligibility and any restrictions for their destination. 3G Electric can provide quotes that include logistics considerations for the order.
How do I identify the correct ULTRALAST replacement cell for my equipment?
Identify the required cell size, chemistry, and nominal voltage from your equipment's specifications or the existing battery label. ULTRALAST 18650 cells are 18 mm diameter by 65 mm length and 3.7V DC lithium-ion. Match the manufacturer part number to the product listing: UL1865-26-1P and UL1865-34-1P are single cells; UL1865-26-2P and UL1865-34-2P are 2-packs. If your device uses a battery pack, confirm the pack configuration and whether individual cells can be replaced. For chargers, use ULLIONCHG or UL1865K-26 with 18650 lithium-ion cells only. Consult the equipment manual for any additional requirements.
