Full-Tab Cylindrical Lithium-Ion Batteries
MINDWAY Full-Tab Cylindrical Lithium-Ion Batteries: 21700 & 46950 Cells for High-Performance Applications
Executive Summary
The global shift toward electrification in electric vehicles (EVs) ، electric aviation (eVTOL) ، and renewable energy storage systems demands batteries with higher energy density، lower resistance، faster charging، and safer performance.
MINDWAY" s full-tab cylindrical lithium-ion batteries — the 21700 lithium-ion cell and the 46950 cylindrical cell — are engineered to meet these challenges. By leveraging full-tab technology، these cells deliver high discharge rates، superior thermal stability، and long cycle life، setting a new benchmark for advanced cylindrical battery solutions.
1. Full-Tab Cylindrical Battery Technology
Conventional cylindrical cells rely on single-tab electrode connections، which create bottlenecks in current flow، raising internal resistance and generating heat.
MINDWAY" s full-tab cylindrical battery design eliminates these limitations:
، Low internal resistance: ≤4 mΩ (21700) and ≤1. 0 mΩ AC (46950)
، Improved thermal management: uniform current distribution reduces localized heating
، High discharge rates: continuous 40A (21700) and 185A (46950)
، Enhanced safety & cycle life: stable performance across hundreds of cycles
This makes MINDWAY cylindrical lithium-ion batteries ideal for demanding EV، eVTOL، and industrial applications.
