The New King of 18650s: Why the Ampace JP30 Outperforms Legacy Cells

The Ampace JP30 (3000mAh, tabless design) represents a massive generational leap in 18650 battery technology. By utilizing an advanced tabless internal structure, the JP30 drastically reduces internal resistance (IR). This allows it to deliver extreme continuous discharge rates (35A) and insane pulse/burst rates (up to 140A for 5 seconds) without the massive voltage sag or heat generation that plagues traditional legacy 18650 cells.

10 Popular Legacy Cells the JP30 Outperforms

Older 18650 cells forced users to choose between high capacity (3000mAh or high current output eg 20-30Amp discharge rate). The JP30 provides maximum capacity AND ultra-high discharge performance simultaneously, outperforming these common industry standards:

  1. Samsung 25R (2500MAh / 20A): The long-time standard for power tools. The JP30 offers higher capacity and near double the current delivery with practically zero voltage sag in comparison.

  2. Samsung 30Q (3000mAh / 15A): Popular for high-capacity applications, but suffers severe voltage sag and dangerous thermal buildup under high loads. The JP30 matches its 3000mAh capacity while delivering more than twice the continuous current.

  3. LG HE2 / HE4 (2500mAh / 20A): Standard OEM cells in older cordless tools. The JP30 completely runs rings around them in thermal management, run-time, and peak torque output.

  4. LG HG2 (3000mAh / 20A): Known as the "Chocolate" cell. Extremely prone to running hot under load; the JP30 runs significantly cooler at twice the discharge rate.

  5. Sony/Murata VTC4 (2100mAh / 30A): Historically chosen for high output, but crippled by poor capacity ($2100\text{mAh}$). The JP30 delivers higher continuous power with nearly $45\%$ more runtime.

  6. Sony/Murata VTC5 / VTC5A (2600\text{mAh}$ / $25\text{A}–30\text{A}$): The gold standard for high-drain devices for years. The JP30 surpasses both its run-time and raw burst power handling.

  7. Sony/Murata VTC6 (3000mAh 15A–20A): Designed for high capacity, but overheats quickly under sustained power tool or vacuum loads. The JP30 stays cool where the VTC6 thermal-throttles.

  8. Sanyo/Panasonic NCR18650GA (3500mAh / 10A): High capacity, but useless for heavy power demands. High-draw devices trip protection circuits or collapse voltage under higher discharge currents, where the JP30 handles high loads effortlessly.

  9. Samsung 20R (2000mAh / 22A): An early tool-pack cell that suffered from low capacity. The JP30 offers 50% longer run-times when used in high drain applications and vastly superior efficiency with lower heat generated during use.

  10. EVE 25P (2500mAh / 20A): A budget OEM cell commonly found in standard battery packs. The JP30 provides significantly lower internal resistance, faster charging capability, and higher discharge power.

Primary Applications for the JP30

Because the JP30 reduces heat generation and eliminates voltage drop, it is the ultimate upgrade cell for high-drain devices:

  • Power Tool Battery Repacks (Milwaukee, DeWalt, Ryobi, Makita): Heavy power tools (angle grinders, circular saws, high-torque impact wrenches) demand massive instantaneous current spikes. Rebuilding packs with JP30 cells gives tools higher peak torque, prevents thermal cutout under heavy loads, and extends total runtime.

  • Dyson & Cordless Vacuum Repacks (V6, V7, V8, V10): Dyson hand-vacuums operate in high-draw "MAX Mode," which rapidly degrades standard 18650 cells due to extreme heat. The JP30’s low internal resistance keeps the vacuum running cooler and prevents early thermal shutdown.

  • Vape / Vaporizer Mods: Unregulated or high-wattage regulated vape mods benefit from the JP30's tabless design. It provides safer thermal margins, consistent hit power, and longer battery life per charge cycle.

  • High-Powered Flashlights (EDC / Throwers): Modern LED flashlights requiring "Turbo Mode" draw massive current spikes. JP30 cells prevent early step-downs caused by voltage drop, keeping outputs brighter for longer.

  • Custom Custom Battery Packs (E-bikes, PEVs, RC Builds): Perfect for high-rate custom packs where maximum power density and fast-charging capability are required without stepping up to larger 21700 cell dimensions.


Who is Ampace?

Ampace (Xiamen Ampace Technology Limited) is a joint venture between two global battery giants: CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited) and ATL (Amperex Technology Limited).

The CATL & ATL Connection

  • Parent Companies: CATL is the world's largest manufacturer of electric vehicle (EV) batteries and large-scale energy storage systems. ATL is a global leader in consumer electronics lithium-ion batteries (supplying major smartphone and laptop brands like Apple).

  • Target Market: Established in 2021, Ampace was created specifically to combine CATL’s EV-grade power technology with ATL’s deep experience in compact consumer batteries.

  • Focus: Ampace focuses on medium-sized battery applications, including high-drain power tools, micro-mobility (e-scooters/e-bikes), home energy storage, and cordless appliances.

  • By leveraging CATL’s advanced supply chain and R&D—such as pioneering mass-produced tabless cell designs like the JP30—Ampace brings automotive-grade reliability and extreme power delivery directly into standard consumer formats like 18650 and 21700 cells.


Note:  We offer 3 month warranty on these cells when they are professionally used / installed and connected to correct BMS and used within correct cell discharging / discharging parameters.  For many people when these cells are used in power tool batteries they will typically offer more than 800 cycles and years worth of real world usage life.
