Built for durability and reliability, this 3.5Ah battery is constructed from rugged ABS plastic and uses genuine high-capacity 18650 cells for maximum performance.

• User-Serviceable & Replaceable Cells: Designed for long-term use, allowing you to replace the 18650 cells when they reach end of life.
