Are 21700 batteries the same size as 18650 batteries?

In the battery market, batteries of different sizes are often used in various electronic devices. This article will compare the dimensions of the 21700 battery to the 18650 battery to clarify the differences between the two.

First, the 21700 battery is not the same size battery as the 18650 battery. The 21700 battery measures approximately 21mm diameter and 70mm length, while the 18650 battery measures approximately 18mm diameter and 65mm length. In terms of size, the 21700 battery is relatively larger, and its diameter and length are slightly larger than the 18650 battery.

Secondly, because 21700 batteries are relatively larger, they are generally capable of higher charge capacity and power output. This means that the 21700 battery can store more power and provide longer-lasting and stable power in high-energy-consuming devices. In comparison, the charge capacity and power output of the 18650 battery are relatively low.

Also, it's important to note that the operating voltage of 21700 and 18650 batteries is generally the same, 3.7 volts (the standard voltage for lithium-ion batteries). Therefore, when using these batteries, you need to ensure that the operating voltage required by the device matches the battery type to avoid damage to the device or battery.

Finally, although the 21700 battery and the 18650 battery differ in some aspects (such as size and charge capacity, etc.), they are both rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used to power a variety of devices. It is very important to choose the right type of battery to suit your equipment needs and safety requirements.

To sum up, the 21700 battery and the 18650 battery are not the same size batteries. The 21700 battery is larger, has higher charge capacity and power output, and is suitable for high energy consumption equipment. The 18650 battery is smaller and has relatively lower charge capacity and power output. When purchasing batteries, it is crucial to choose the right battery type based on device requirements and personal preference.
