Testing Statistics
Cell notes
LG Energy Solution INR18650H26A, rated 20 A max continuous discharge, 2600 mAh capacity. Date code identified them as 4 year-old stock, but still a high-performing cell.
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.
Capacity Test
We measure the amount of usable energy the pack supplies from 100% to 0% charge.
Pack Internal Resistance Test
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.
