Battery Case 150AH |
Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are generally not interchangeable with primary types using a different chemistry. Many are also available with internal protection circuits that can increase their physical length; for example, an 18650 is around 65 mm (2.56 in) long, but may be around 68 mm (2.68 in) long with an internal protection circuit. Some such circuits increase cell diameter instead. The increased dimensions may mean the cell will no longer fit in battery compartments intended for cells without such circuitry.
Commonly-used designation numbers indicate the physical dimensions of the cylindrical cell, as given in IEC standard 60086-1 for cylindrical primary cells. The first two digits are the nominal diameter of the cell in millimetres, and the three following digits are the height in millimeters. Manufacturers may use non-IEC designations for their products.
