Rechargeable LiFePO4 Battery Beltrona FR14500HBG 3.2V 600mAh, cylindrical 14500

Beltrona FR14500HBG is a rechargeable LiFePO4 cell with a nominal voltage of 3.2V and a rated capacity of 600mAh in the cylindrical 14500 format. The cell is intended for applications that require a stable output voltage, predictable discharge behavior and extended cycle life compared with traditional lithium-ion chemistries. The compact 14500 size allows integration into flashlights, portable instruments, small consumer electronics and custom electronics projects where a robust, safe rechargeable cell is needed.

Advantages

The LiFePO4 chemistry provides enhanced thermal and chemical stability, lower risk of thermal runaway and a long cycle life measured in hundreds to thousands of charge/discharge cycles under appropriate conditions. The nominal 3.2V output is more stable under load than some other chemistries, simplifying power management in devices designed around this voltage. The cylindrical 14500 format offers a familiar form factor for many devices and DIY holders, while the 600mAh capacity balances compact size with useful energy storage for short- to medium-duration applications.

Suitable for

• Handheld flashlights and tactical lights designed for 14500-sized cells
• Small sensors, measurement instruments and portable test equipment
• Backup power for clocks, real-time clocks (RTC) and low-power electronics
• DIY electronics projects and battery packs requiring a stable 3.2V cell
• Education, prototyping and hobbyist applications where safety and cycle life are important

Key specifications

How to use

Install the Beltrona FR14500HBG cell following the device manufacturer’s polarity markings and ensure correct mechanical fit for the 14500 format. Charge the cell with a charger compatible with LiFePO4 chemistry and with appropriate termination for the cell’s nominal voltage; do not use chargers designed exclusively for other lithium chemistries unless they explicitly support LiFePO4. Observe recommended charge current limits and temperature ranges provided by the charger and device documentation. For multi-cell assemblies, use appropriate balancing and protection circuitry to maintain safe operation.

Usage recommendations

Store and operate the cell within the temperature ranges specified by your charger and device; avoid exposure to high temperatures, direct sunlight or moisture. Use a dedicated LiFePO4 charger and avoid over-discharge below recommended cutoff voltages. For prolonged storage, keep the cell at a partial state of charge (around 30–60%) and check periodically. Follow local regulations for transportation, recycling and disposal of rechargeable batteries.
