Cells Per Battery Calculator
This formula allows you to determine the exact number of cells you need based on your specific voltage and capacity needs, simplifying
The voltage of a single 21700 battery cell is typically 3.7 volts. When connected in series, the voltage increases accordingly. It is important to select battery cells and configure the pack to match the voltage and capacity requirements of the intended application.
At its core, a single 21700 cell usually holds 4000–5000 mAh with a nominal voltage of 3.6–3.7 V. Fully charged, it hits 4.2 V, and cutoff usually happens around 3.0 V. In practice, I've seen these cells hold up better under high current draw compared to 18650. Less heat, less sag, and more usable runtime.
» Electrical » Cells Per Battery Calculator The Cells Per Battery Calculator is a tool used to calculate the number of cells needed to create a battery pack with a specific voltage and capacity. When designing a battery pack, cells can be connected in two ways: in series to increase voltage, or in parallel to increase capacity.
So, you would need 42 cells in total to create a battery pack with 24V and 20Ah using cells with 3.7V and 3.5Ah. 1. Why do I need to connect cells in series for voltage? Connecting cells in series increases the overall voltage of the battery pack by adding the voltage of each individual cell.
