The Microvast 18Ah NMC pouch cell combines a slim format with high-rate discharge for custom mobility, robotics and industrial battery packs, subject to application-specific validation. All electrical ratings below are from supplied product information and have not been independently authenticated for this exact cell.
01 18Ah NMC Pouch Cell Capacity
With a supplier-listed 18Ah nominal capacity at 3.7V, the cell has a calculated nominal energy of 66.6Wh. The relatively flat pouch structure may be considered where available enclosure space and series/parallel configuration are key design factors.
02 7.8C Continuous Discharge Rating
The supplied 7.8C continuous discharge figure converts to 140.4A for an 18Ah cell. This is a customer-provided rating, not an independently verified continuous-duty guarantee. Confirm the permitted temperature, cooling and end-of-discharge conditions before pack design.
03 11.5C Maximum Discharge Capability
The listed 11.5C maximum corresponds mathematically to 207A. The source table does not specify the allowable discharge duration, state of charge, cell temperature or repeat frequency, so this value must not be advertised as a qualified continuous or defined pulse rating.
04 Slim Profile for Custom Pack Layouts
The supplied 7.1 × 217 × 128mm dimensions and 348g mass provide a compact engineering reference for module space planning. Confirm whether tab extensions and packaging features are included in these dimensions before mechanical design.
05 Calculated Energy Density
From the supplied nominal energy and mass, the calculated gravimetric energy density is approximately 191.4Wh/kg. Using the listed rectangular envelope dimensions gives approximately 337.7Wh/L. Both are estimates and exclude final pack-level structures and overhead.
06 Integration and Qualification Planning
Designers should validate current capability, tab connections, insulation, protection circuitry, cell matching and thermal performance at the intended duty cycle. Ask MisenBattery to confirm the exact Microvast part number and provide model-specific documents before committing to production.
Potential Applications
Potential use cases include engineered electric mobility systems, industrial robotics, automated guided vehicles, portable equipment and high-current battery modules. These are application possibilities, not validated equipment compatibility claims. Selection depends on confirmed charge/discharge limits, enclosure geometry, welded tab connections, BMS strategy, temperature sensing, cooling and application-specific qualification.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the nominal energy of the Microvast 18Ah pouch cell?
The supplied nominal voltage is 3.7V and capacity is 18Ah, giving 66.6Wh by multiplication.
What continuous discharge current does the supplied 7.8C figure represent?
7.8 × 18Ah = 140.4A. The thermal and test conditions of that customer-supplied rating still require manufacturer verification.
Is 207A a confirmed pulse discharge rating?
No. It is the calculated current at the supplied 11.5C maximum rate, but the permitted duration and test conditions were not supplied.
Can this cell be used in electric mobility or robotic battery packs?
These are potential design applications. Suitability requires a verified model-specific datasheet and pack-level electrical, mechanical and thermal qualification.
