Overview
The Samsung 40T 21700 battery combines high capacity with exceptional power output. With a 4000mAh rating and a 35A continuous discharge capability, this battery is built to handle demanding applications that require both runtime and performance. Its flat top design makes it a reliable choice for professional and custom power solutions.
Improper handling or misuse of this lithium-ion battery can result in
FIRE, EXPLOSION, or THERMAL RUNAWAY,
causing personal injury, property damage, or death. Users must read and
follow all safety guidelines before purchase and use.

Critical Warning: Never carry loose batteries in your pocket,
purse, or bag. Loose batteries can come into contact with metal objects like
keys or coins, causing a short circuit, which may result in severe burns, fire,
or explosion. Always store or transport batteries in a protective case or box.
Intended Use: This battery is designed for integration into
protected battery packs with a
Battery Management System (BMS) or
Protection Circuit Board (PCB). It is not intended for standalone
use or use in devices such as e-cigarettes or vaporizers.
What is Thermal Runaway?
A dangerous chain reaction where heat generated by a failing battery causes
it to overheat further, potentially leading to fire or explosion.
Causes: Overcharging, short circuits, physical damage, or exposure to high temperatures.
Prevention: Use a smart charger, avoid physical damage, and
store batteries in a cool, dry place.
Storage & Transport: Always store batteries in protective cases
or boxes to prevent accidental contact with metal objects. Never store loose
batteries in pockets, purses, bags, or near conductive materials.
Inspection: Do not use if the PVC wrapper,
terminal insulator, or casing is damaged, dented,
leaking, or bulging. These are signs of internal damage or instability, and
continued use could result in failure, fire, or explosion.
Charging: Use a smart charger designed specifically
for lithium-ion batteries and ensure that the charger's voltage matches the battery's
specifications. Never overcharge, over-discharge, or leave unattended while charging.
Prohibited Activities: Do not short circuit, modify, puncture, crush,
expose to liquids, or solder directly onto the battery (spot weld only).
Emergency Response: If a cell shows signs of thermal runaway (smoke, swelling, hissing, or heat), stop use immediately and, if it can be done safely, move it to a non-flammable surface (e.g., concrete or sand) away from combustibles. Lithium-ion cell fires are Class B fires — use an ABC/dry-chemical extinguisher, or douse with large amounts of water to cool the cell and prevent spread. Do not rely on a small spray; thorough cooling is required, and cells can reignite from residual heat, so monitor the area afterward. (Class D extinguishers are for lithium-metal batteries, not lithium-ion.) For any fire beyond a single small cell, evacuate and call emergency services.

Refurbished a tool pack. Added 2 more Ah to the pack. Samsung cells are great. I always get great, real batteries from imrbatteries.com
Used the batteries for my Convoy S21e flashlight. I went with IMR hoping they wouldn’t disappoint and they didn’t. Battery life holds up well for the light even on high mode. Been using the light a lot and the battery hasn’t died yet. Would definitely shop here again!!
I didn’t know these were the WRONG size, but they were in the section with 18650 batteries, but these are one size larger. And since these cannot be returned, maybe notating the description of the actual size (that these were 21700 size) that would be super helpful
I bought these when they were on sale that made it worth it but besides that i wouldnt buy them again. I have the white battery that lasts almost twice as long on a charge maybe I got a bad battery but proof is in the pudding.
Going to use in DIY power bank but threw them into some various things in the mean time. They have been very impressive so far. And to top it off they were very inexpensive when I grabbed them. Definatly going to get some more if the price stays where it is.
If you aren’t in a hurry, this product and supplier is hard to beat. It just takes a very long time e to get it. I was beginning to think it was shipping from outside the US.
I'm using this battery in a device that pulls on the batteries amperage pretty hard and it's got a nice solid delivery of power and has a reasonable lifetime before needing to recharge. For the money this is an excellent battery. Plus IMR was fast and the order I made was very complete.
My older hohm tech batteries in a single battery mod where lasting about 5 hours.
These ones last for about 11 hours. They charge relatively fast too. Will definitely purchase again.
