BAK N18650CP 3350mAh -6.5A or LG INR18650-M36 3450mAh -5A
Hello. I'm considering swapping your six Sanyo NCR18650BF batteries with either the BAK N18650CP (3350mAh, 6.5A) or the LG INR18650-M36 (3450mAh, 5A). Which option would you prefer?
LG INR18650-M36 3450mAh - 5A offers a bit more capacity, though modestly. The 5-amp rating instead of 6.5 should technically extend its lifespan slightly without delivering as much power. This design choice also reduces the chance of accidentally damaging components because it matches similar power ratings to the existing battery. Higher current output means potential risks if power management fails.
