MODEL OVERVIEW

LG 21700-M50LT — Selection & Sourcing

LG M50LT is a 21700 battery cell specified by nominal energy: 18.2Wh at 3.69V in the reviewed document. It is relevant to buyers comparing LG 21700 cells for e-bike packs, mobile robots and equipment with a defined daily energy requirement. The specification separates temperature-dependent current limits from cycle tests. In particular, the reported 1000-cycle result uses a narrower 4.15–3.0V window than the 500-cycle test. That distinction helps pack designers compare usable energy and service life on the same basis.

For a 21700 battery pack, share the series and parallel arrangement, continuous load and charging schedule. Check cell temperatures under the repeated duty cycle as well as brief peaks. This gives your engineering team a useful basis for comparing models and setting the sample qualification plan.

BK Energy can discuss LG 21700-M50LT wholesale sourcing with your purchasing team. Include the sample quantity, expected production volume, delivery destination and documents needed for supplier approval so the quotation addresses both technical and commercial requirements.

APPLICATION REVIEW

What to Check for Your Pack

E-bike battery packsMobile robots

For these project types, compare usable energy at the working load, cell-holder tolerances, busbar design and the temperature-dependent operating limits.

  • Energy and load: usable energy, continuous current, peak duration and charging opportunities.
  • Mechanical and thermal fit: the exact drawing, connections, enclosure temperature and cooling arrangement.
  • Qualification: a test plan based on the finished equipment, including its protection settings and required approvals.

PROCUREMENT DOCUMENTS

Datasheet, Traceability & Certificates

Ask for the specification and drawing that match the offered lot. If your project needs a UN 38.3 test summary, SDS or a particular cell certificate, include that requirement in the enquiry.

BUYER QUESTIONS

Before You Order

Is this cell suitable for my application?

For these project types, compare usable energy at the working load, cell-holder tolerances, busbar design and the temperature-dependent operating limits. Application names on this page are evaluation starting points, not a claim that an OEM has approved this exact cell.

Can I get the LG 21700-M50LT datasheet?

Yes—send the complete model code and your project requirements. We will review the matching specification and available documentation with you. Any preliminary values should be confirmed before production approval.

What are the wholesale price, MOQ and lead time?

These are quoted for the requested model, quantity, available lot and destination. Send sample demand and expected production volume so the offer can address your schedule.

Which documents should accompany the order?

Ask for the applicable specification revision, lot identification, SDS and UN 38.3 test summary, plus any model-specific certificates required for your market. Cell documents do not replace finished-pack or equipment approval.
