One of the most well-known batteries on the 18650 market, the Samsung INR18650-25R has earned its reputation for a good reason. For a reliable and high-quality 18650 battery, you can't go wrong with Samsung.
The 25R hits that sweet spot with a 2,500mAh energy capacity and a 20A continuous high-discharge rating, making it an ideal choice for OEM battery packs in high-drain devices.
Utilizing advanced LiNiMnCoO2 (INR) li-ion chemistry, the INR18650-25R's secret is a blend of manganese and nickel for extra energy while remaining stable and safe. These kinds of batteries keep a low internal resistance (≤m18Ω), while retaining high energy capacity, continuous discharge rates, and a low operating temperature.

"arrived promptly, charged quickly. still on first charge after use so will have to continue to evaluate."
"good enough but for life length could sell for at least 14% less"
"Just as described."
"Great batteries, wonderful customer service. The techs here are the best"
"Good authentic product with fast shipping! Thank you"
"I purchased this battery to replace 'no-brand name' battery with no markings. It is performing very well. The device is a 'dusk to dawn' outdoor solar light. And with this battery, the light stays on throughout the night, then turns off at sunrise, ready for the next day."
"works great and deliveryed faster then expected"
"So far this battery is performing exactly like the factory battery"
"I looked all over the internet trying to find an obsolete battery and finally found it Battery Junction. It took no time to receive the battery as they stated when I placed my order. Soldiered metal tabs onto the new purchase and reassembled and worked and charged perfectly. Thanks!"
"While these did much better than a previous purchase from another vendor of cells that were supposed to be 9000 mAh (silly me!), they are not 2500 mAh as advertised. I tested each of the dozen I ordered, and they came in at 2253 to 2313 mAh, with an average of 2282 for the batch."
