How to Use
- Before first use, fully charge the battery using a dedicated lithium-ion battery charger designed for 18650 cells. Never charge unattended.
- Always inspect the battery wrapper for damage before each use. Never use a battery with tears or damage to the insulating wrapper.
- Insert the battery into your device following proper polarity orientation (positive + and negative – ends).
- For devices that calculate power based on battery capabilities, ensure settings remain within the continuous discharge rating (20A).
- Monitor the battery during use, especially in high-drain applications. If it becomes unusually hot, discontinue use immediately.
- When the device indicates low battery (typically around 3.2-3.3V), remove and recharge promptly. Avoid completely depleting the battery.
- Store batteries in a dedicated non-conductive battery case when not in use, never loose in pockets or bags with metal objects.
- For extended storage periods, maintain a charge level between 40-60% and keep in a cool, dry environment.
- Replace the battery if you notice decreased performance, physical damage, or after approximately 300 charge cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the actual continuous discharge rating of the Efest 18650 3000mAh battery?
While Efest markets this battery with a 35A rating, independent testing consistently shows that the true continuous discharge rating is approximately 20A, which Efest acknowledges in their specifications as the maximum continuous rating. The 35A figure refers to the pulse or burst discharge capability, which should only be utilized for very brief periods (a few seconds). For safe, continuous operation, users should consider this a 20A battery and calculate their power requirements accordingly. Exceeding the continuous discharge rating can lead to battery overheating, reduced lifespan, and potential safety hazards. -
Are Efest 18650 batteries safe for mechanical mods?
Efest 18650 3000mAh batteries can be used in mechanical mods, but only by users with a thorough understanding of Ohm's law, battery safety, and mechanical mod operation. With a 20A continuous discharge rating, the minimum safe build resistance would be approximately 0.21Ω (calculated using R=V/I where V=4.2V at full charge). Users must regularly inspect the battery for damage, never use batteries with torn wrappers, and build within safe resistance limits. These are unprotected cells without internal safety circuits, so all safety responsibility falls to the user when employed in mechanical devices. -
How can I verify I have an authentic Efest 18650 battery?
Authentic Efest 18650 3000mAh batteries feature a distinctive purple wrapper with clear, crisp printing including the Efest logo, capacity (3000mAh), and discharge rating (35A). Legitimate batteries will have clean, even wrapping without bubbles or misalignments. Efest has implemented authentication measures including holographic security stickers on newer packaging. Purchase only from authorized dealers and reputable vape shops. Abnormally low prices, packaging inconsistencies, or significant weight differences (authentic cells weigh approximately 47g) typically indicate counterfeit products. -
How should I properly store Efest 18650 batteries when not in use?
Store Efest 18650 batteries in dedicated non-conductive battery cases at room temperature (59-77°F/15-25°C) in a dry environment. For short-term storage (days to weeks), batteries can be kept at full charge. For long-term storage (months), maintain a charge level between 40-60% (approximately 3.7-3.8V) rather than fully charged or discharged. Keep batteries away from metal objects, extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and moisture. Inspect stored batteries periodically for any signs of damage, bulging, or leakage, and replace any compromised cells immediately rather than attempting to use them. -
What is the difference between flat-top and button-top 18650 batteries?
The Efest 18650 3000mAh 35A features a flat-top design, meaning the positive terminal is flat rather than having a raised button. Flat-top batteries are typically 2-3mm shorter than button-top versions and work better in devices with spring-loaded contacts or tight battery compartments. They're generally preferred for vaping devices, especially mechanical mods where precise contact is essential. Button-top batteries have a small raised positive terminal that provides better compatibility with certain flashlights and devices designed specifically for button-top cells. The electrical performance characteristics are identical between the two designs when the cells share the same internal construction.
