Murata US18650-VTC4

High-drain 18650 cell from Murata (formerly Sony). 2100mAh capacity with 30A continuous discharge. One of the highest-discharge 18650 cells ever made, sacrificing capacity for extreme current capability. Primarily used in high-power vaping mods and legacy high-drain applications.

In brief: 18650 Li-ion battery cell. 2100mAh capacity. 15A continuous discharge.
