18650 lithium-ion batteries offer high capacity but require more handling care compared to LiFePO4 batteries. Here's how to ensure their safe use:

• Lithium-Ion cells should be charged on a dedicated charger rated specifically for Lithium-Ion cells. Our selection can be found here.
• Never leave a battery unattended whilst charging. 
• Keep away from animals and children.
• Wraps and insulators should be periodically inspected for tears or damage. If a battery has a damaged wrap, it should be repaired or disposed of immediately. Wraps and insulators can be found here
• If you are re-selling these cells, it is your duty to pass these warnings onto your customers.
• Batteries usually have a cycle life of between 200-500 cycles (varies with manufacturer) before noticeable capacity drop off. Batteries should be recycled at this time.
• Do not crush, incinerate or modify.
• Only use within manufacturers specification.
