The Tenergy 3.63V 10050mAh Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery is a high-capacity power source designed for industrial and commercial applications. With a voltage of 3.63V and 10050mAh capacity, it balances energy density and longevity. Its LiNiCoMnO₂ chemistry ensures stability, while built-in safety features like overcharge protection make it ideal for medical devices, robotics, and backup systems.
How to Prevent Lithium-Ion Battery Fires and Explosions
What Safety Features Protect the Tenergy 10050mAh Battery?
The battery integrates a multi-layered protection system: a built-in PCM (Protection Circuit Module) prevents overcharging (above 4.2V), over-discharging (below 2.5V), and short circuits. Its flame-retardant casing and thermal fuse mitigate thermal runaway risks. These features comply with UN38.3 and IEC62133 certifications, ensuring safe operation in extreme temperatures (-20°C to 60°C).
Advanced temperature sensors within the PCM actively monitor cell conditions during charging and discharging. If internal temperatures exceed 70°C, the protection circuit automatically disconnects the load. The battery’s mechanical design includes pressure relief vents that activate during abnormal gas buildup, preventing catastrophic failure. These features make it suitable for mission-critical applications like emergency lighting systems or remote weather stations where maintenance access is limited.
| Safety Feature | Function |
|---|---|
| PCM (Protection Circuit Module) | Balances cell voltages and disconnects during faults |
| Thermal Fuse | Melts at 88°C to break electrical continuity |
| Flame-Retardant Case | Self-extinguishing material (UL94 V-0 rated) |
Is the Tenergy 10050mAh Battery Cost-Effective Long-Term?
Despite a higher upfront cost ($45-$60), its 500-cycle lifespan translates to $0.09 per cycle—50% cheaper than replacing 18650 cells annually. Reduced downtime from frequent replacements further benefits industrial users. Energy efficiency (98% discharge efficiency) also lowers operational costs for solar-powered systems.
When calculating total ownership costs, consider the battery’s 0.2% monthly self-discharge rate—significantly lower than the 3-5% rate of standard Li-ion cells. This reduces energy waste in standby applications like security systems. For telecom tower backups requiring 10-year service life, Tenergy’s modular design allows individual cell replacement rather than full pack disposal, cutting material costs by 40% over the product lifecycle.
| Cost Factor | Tenergy 10050mAh | Standard 18650 |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per Cycle | $0.09 | $0.18 |
| Annual Replacement Needs | 0.2 | 1.5 |
“The Tenergy 3.63V battery fills a critical niche in mid-voltage applications where energy density and safety intersect. Its chemistry strikes a balance between power output and longevity that’s rare in this price bracket. For OEMs designing medical or IoT devices, it’s a game-changer.” — Dr. Elena Marquez, Power Systems Engineer at Voltaic Technologies
