Cannot recommend CEENR batteries due to their poor electrical construction. Skip these packs that skimp on current-routed PCBs and instead use soldered wire harnesses. The 8ah pack using 21700 cells adds an additional layer of danger, as the harness is woefully undersized to the pack output.

Ratings

Honesty
4.2 / 5

Actual capacity is 7.28 Ah, vs 8 Ah advertised.

Durability
2.8 / 5

Decent cells are capable of putting out current, but poor construction cannot handle it. Bad recipe.

Capacity
5 / 5

7.28 Ah capacity.

Power
5 / 5

High-quality 21700 cells performed well. But also melted the pack.

Safety
2 / 5

Undersized wiring plus oversized 21700 cells create extreme thermal conditions within the pack, leading to potential melting and shorts.

Cell notes

Tianjin Lishen LR2170LA, 21700 cells (a larger cell than the typical 18650) 35 A max continuous discharge, 4000 mAh capacity

Cycling Test

We cycle the batteries at high-power (800W for 20s on, then 20W for 6s off) to reflect their actual usage in high-load scenarios like circular saw use.

Cycles survived: 23 | Failure mode: Battery hit low voltage

Capacity Test

We measure the amount of usable energy the pack supplies from 100% to 0% charge.

Capacity: 131.5 Wh (91% of stated 8 Ah @ 18V Nominal)

Pack Internal Resistance Test

Pack Resistance: 50.6 mOhm (average value of pack resistance between 17.5 and 18.5 V)

Failure Test

The battery is stepped through 30s at increasing current levels, ignoring safety features like temperature and voltage warnings, until the pack fails catastrophically.

Energy discharged: 51.9 Wh, Peak power: 1123 W
