Molicel INR18650-P26A

The Molicel INR18650-P26A is a high-drain 18650 NMC lithium-ion cell rated at 2600 mAh with a 35A continuous discharge rating, making it suitable for high-current e-bike and e-scooter battery packs where compact 18650 form factor is required. Manufactured in Taiwan, it has been largely superseded by the P28A which Molicel recommends as offering higher performance at lower cost.

In brief: 18650 Li-ion battery cell. 2600mAh capacity. 35A continuous discharge. From $6.
