Cylaid 18650 Battery – 3100mAh | Advertised 60A

Cylaid 18650 Battery – 3100mAh

High-capacity rechargeable cell for compatible regulated devices

The Cylaid 18650 Battery is a rechargeable, flat-top lithium-ion cell with an advertised 3100mAh capacity and 3.7V nominal voltage.

Its higher-capacity design makes it suitable for compatible regulated vape devices, external battery mods and other equipment specifically designed to accept removable flat-top 18650 cells.

Important: The “60A” printed on this battery should not be presented as a verified continuous-discharge rating. Independent battery testing reported that this cell performed similarly to a Sony VTC6 and estimated a much lower continuous rating. Always follow the limits of your device and use conservative battery settings.

Advertised 60A Rating Explained

The battery wrapper and supplier listings advertise a 60A rating. However, this figure should not be described as a confirmed continuous-discharge rating.

Independent battery tester Battery Mooch reported that the Cylaid 3100mAh cell appeared to be a rewrapped Sony VTC6 and criticised the advertised current ratings as exaggerated. The tester estimated performance closer to approximately 15A continuous, subject to temperature and operating conditions.

For safer and more accurate merchandising, describe the product as:

Avoid wording such as:

• “60A continuous discharge”
• “True 60A battery”
• “Guaranteed 60A output”
• “Safe for any mechanical mod”

Product Specifications

Supplier listings describe the cell as an 18650 flat-top battery with a 3.7V nominal voltage and advertised 3100mAh capacity.

Compatible Applications

This battery may be suitable for:

• Compatible regulated vape mods
• Single-battery regulated devices
• Dual-battery regulated devices
• External battery chargers
• Other equipment specifically designed for flat-top 18650 cells

Always check:

• The device manufacturer’s battery requirements
• Required continuous-discharge capability
• Correct battery orientation
• Battery-wrap condition
• Whether matched batteries are required

Dual-Battery Device Safety

When using two batteries in the same device:

• Use the same brand, model and capacity.
• Buy and begin using the pair together.
• Charge and discharge them together.
• Keep them paired permanently.
• Do not mix an older battery with a newer one.
• Replace both batteries if either becomes damaged or significantly degraded.

This practice is commonly known as marrying or pairing batteries.

How to Charge the Battery

Use a reputable external charger designed for rechargeable lithium-ion 18650 cells.

1. Inspect the battery wrap and insulator ring.
2. Insert the battery in the correct orientation.
3. Select an appropriate charging current.
4. Place the charger on a non-flammable surface.
5. Monitor it during charging.
6. Remove the battery once charging is complete.
7. Store it in a dedicated plastic battery case.

Do not carry a loose 18650 battery in a pocket, handbag or drawer where it could contact coins, keys or other metal objects.

Battery Safety Warning

Lithium-ion cells can vent, overheat or catch fire when short-circuited, damaged, incorrectly charged or used beyond their safe operating limits.

Do not use the battery if:

• The plastic wrap is torn
• The top insulator ring is missing
• The metal casing is dented
• The cell has been dropped heavily
• It becomes unusually hot
• It leaks
• It has a strange smell
• The positive or negative terminal is damaged

Cylaid’s published battery-safety guidance warns against short-circuiting, crushing, piercing, dismantling, exposing batteries to liquids, dropping them or placing them near fire.

Important Usage Rules

• Never carry the battery loose.
• Always use a protective battery case.
• Keep away from children and pets.
• Never expose it to water or extreme heat.
• Do not leave it inside a hot vehicle.
• Do not charge it unattended or overnight.
• Do not use it with a damaged wrap.
• Do not exceed your device’s recommended limits.
• Do not dismantle, crush or puncture the cell.
• Do not use it in a device that requires a button-top battery.
• Do not dispose of it in ordinary household waste.

Mechanical Mod Notice

This battery should not be marketed as suitable for mechanical-mod use solely because “60A” appears on the wrapper.

Mechanical devices do not provide the electronic protections found in regulated vape mods. Only users with a thorough understanding of battery condition, resistance, current draw and electrical safety should consider unregulated equipment.
