The Murata VTC6 is a rechargeable lithium-ion 18650 cell (the line was formerly made by Sony). It has a 3000mAh capacity and a 3.6V nominal voltage. It is built for high-drain devices that need long runtime and high discharge current.
It delivers 15A continuous discharge, with a temperature-limited pulse of up to 30A. The 30A rating is not recommended for prolonged use. The cell is unprotected, so it must be used with proper safety measures and in protected battery packs.
The cell is used in flashlights, custom battery packs, power tools, RC vehicles and drones, e-bikes and electric scooters, and some consumer electronics. It should not be used in e-cigarettes, vaporizers or similar devices. Do not mix old and new, or used and unused, batteries.
