INR18650HG2 3000mAh 20A

[cut cat]

New kid on the block with 3000mAh capacity @ 20A discharge.

Any one got more details on this.

It also looks like LG's rival Samsung should not be far off with its 3000mAh equivalent based on chemistry and capacity.

It looks probable to be an improvement on the 2500mAh INR chem and the rest of its history.

Cool!

If somebody can find a good source for a couple of test cells I am happy to run comparative discharge graphs against LG HE4 cells.

Can't wait to see some tests and comparisons! Also, this should be NCA chemistry based on capacity, but I'm not sure. It would be nice to have some reliable info, maybe even datasheet similar to HE2.

I am about to purchase a few sample cells from EVVA tech. Pretty good pricing and I know a motorcycle team that purchased over 1000 25R cells from them and we're happy with the pricing and service

Before buying from them try to ask for a quote on this site:

It might be even cheaper, and they are EU supplier.

Our company got 2 samples, but cannt test them.

I'm not sure if it can even be nmc with such high capacity.

 

[cwah]

Lots of nmc have high capacity

 

[riba2233]

But not that much. Highest I've seen is 2900.

I found this blog post to be somewhat helpful.

Not really trusting those LGs, They like to brag about figures. I bet it has the same performance(15A cont) as Samsung 30Q
Have anyone seen any more test on these cells?

Edit, yeah just like I thought, it is even slightly worse than 30Q
look at the graphs:

[riba2233]

Yeah, they are the same. Now, the question is, is the HG2 overspeced or is the 30Q underspeced
