Description

A high-capacity 21700 energy cell that balances capacity, cycle life and cost — a strong default for power stations, energy storage modules and long-runtime smart hardware.

THOR Power builds the THOR-21700-48E into custom series/parallel packs — matched cells, BMS protection, nickel busbars, housing and the connector of your choice. Bare cells and welded modules are also available. Tell us your target voltage, runtime and discharge current, and our engineers will size the pack for you.

  • Proven 3.7 V nominal cylindrical cells from tier-1 suppliers
  • Long cycle life — typically several hundred to 1,000+ cycles
  • Built-in protection: overcharge, over-discharge, short-circuit
  • Custom series/parallel configuration, connector & BMS
  • UN38.3 / MSDS ready; CE, KC, ROHS on request
