Use the EVE 50E inside a voltage-, current-, and temperature-controlled system.

This is an unprotected 21700 cell. Safe implementation requires pack-level or device-level protection, especially against over-charge, over-discharge, over-current, short-circuit, and over-temperature conditions.

19. Suggested Control Threshold Map

System-level control guidance derived from the EVE specification.

Charge upper limit 4.20V ±0.05V per cell
Discharge floor 2.50V per cell
Standard charge 1.0A CCCV to 4.20V, 0.1A termination
Maximum charge 2.5A CCCV to 4.20V, 0.1A termination
Charge temperature gate Ambient 0°C to 55°C; surface 0°C to 60°C
Discharge temperature gate Ambient -20°C to 60°C; surface -20°C to 70°C
Current planning Use 15A as maximum discharge limit and 10A as a conservative moderate-drain design reference when runtime and cycle life are priorities.

20. Risk-Control Checklist

Recommended pack-building and use practices.

  • Use only in devices or packs designed for unprotected 21700 lithium-ion cells.
  • Use a BMS or controller that monitors voltage, current, and temperature.
  • Do not charge above 4.20V or discharge below 2.50V per cell.
  • Use conservative current limits when long cycle life is the primary objective.
  • Never carry loose cells with conductive objects such as keys, coins, tools, or metal cases.
  • Spot weld for pack assembly; do not solder directly to the cell body.
  • Inspect wraps and top insulator rings before use.
  • Size nickel, busbars, wiring, fuses, and BMS MOSFETs for both electrical resistance and heat rise.

Best suited for high-capacity, moderate-drain battery systems.

Common technical questions about the EVE 50E.

What is the capacity of the EVE 50E?

The EVE 50E has a nominal capacity of 5000mAh and a minimum standard discharge capacity of 4900mAh under the EVE data-sheet test method.

Is this a 10A or 15A battery?

The EVE specification lists 15A max. continuous discharge to 2.5V. For long-runtime designs, 10A or lower is the more conservative planning reference.

Is this a protected battery?

No. This is an unprotected flat-top 21700 cell and should only be used in systems with appropriate voltage, current, short-circuit, and temperature protection.

What charger should be used?

Use a lithium-ion charger or battery-management system that charges to 4.20V per cell using a CCCV profile. The standard charge current is 1.0A with 0.1A cut-off.

Can the EVE 50E fast charge?

The EVE specification lists 2.5A max. continuous charge. For routine use and longer service life, standard or conservative charge currents are preferred.

What is the correct discharge cut-off voltage?

The specification states a 2.50V discharge cut-off voltage per cell. Many pack designers choose a higher system cut-off to reduce stress and improve cycle life.

Can the EVE 50E be used in battery packs?

Yes. It is a strong candidate for capacity-focused custom packs when cell matching, spot welding, BMS sizing, fusing, insulation, and thermal validation are properly engineered.

Can I solder wires directly to this cell?

Direct soldering is not recommended. Spot welding is the preferred pack-assembly method because it reduces the risk of heat damage to the cell.

What are the cell dimensions?

The EVE specification lists 70.15mm ±0.15 height and 21.15mm ±0.10 diameter, with tube. Always confirm fit in the actual device, holder, or pack fixture.

What temperature range is allowed?

The ambient operating ranges are 0°C to 55°C for charging and -20°C to 60°C for discharging. Cell-surface limits are 0°C to 60°C for charge and -20°C to 70°C for discharge, with recommended release temperatures below 45°C and 60°C respectively.

What does ≤20mΩ internal impedance mean?

It is the initial AC internal impedance measured at 1kHz at 20%~30% state of charge. Lower resistance helps reduce voltage sag, but pack resistance also includes welds, nickel, busbars, wiring, holders, fuses, and BMS components.

How many cycles should I expect?

The specification gives a 1000-cycle criterion with 1.0A charge and 1.0A discharge to 3.0V, and a 500-cycle criterion with 5A charge and 5A discharge to 3.0V, both requiring at least 70% of initial capacity under the stated test conditions. Actual service life depends on current, temperature, charge voltage, depth of discharge, and pack design.

What is the shipment voltage?

The specification states that the cell should be shipped in the 3.450V to 3.600V charging voltage range.

Can I carry this battery loose?

No. Loose transport is unsafe because conductive objects can short the terminals. Always use a non-conductive battery case.
