Description

Product Overview

The LB12 is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack built on NCM chemistry, sized for lighting products that run on a single-cell architecture. Two LR1865HC cells sit side by side in a 1S2P arrangement inside a PVC-wrapped body of roughly 37.3 × 18.8 × 69.3 mm. The result is 3.6 V nominal, 7 Ah at C5 and about 25.2 Wh of energy at 100 ± 10 g — enough capacity for a work light or an emergency luminaire to run from a pack that still fits a handle or a lamp head.

The products this pack suits are handheld and installed lights: portable work lights, industrial flashlights, emergency and exit luminaires, inspection lamps and head torches. Each one asks the same two things of the battery — carry enough energy for a shift or a backup period, and survive the way the product is charged, stored and carried. Putting two cells in parallel means they share the discharge current, which keeps AC internal resistance at or below 60 mΩ and lets the pack take a 2 A charge without growing beyond a slim block.

Treat this as a 3.6V battery pack for industrial flashlights and similar OEM lighting products rather than a standalone aftermarket replacement cell. It is supplied as a reviewed configuration: you confirm the driver window, load profile, charger and compartment drawing, and we confirm the exact revision that fits them. A product already running a 3.6 V single-cell pack with a comparable connector and protection scheme is the natural starting point; a light with a different voltage window, charge profile or mechanical envelope needs its own review before anything is approved.

In service the pack is charged through the product's own charging circuit, discharged into the LED driver, and often left unused for weeks between jobs. That pattern — shallow use, long storage, repeated charging inside a sealed housing — is what the capacity, retention and cycling criteria in the reference manual are written around.

Build & Installation Envelope

  • Cell architecture: two LR1865HC cells in a 1S2P layout, which is why the body measures about 18.8 mm across one way and 37.3 mm the other — plan the bay around a two-cell footprint, not a single 18650.
  • PVC wrap, no hard case: the sleeve protects the cells against abrasion and handling but does not carry structural load, so the housing has to locate and support the pack.
  • Envelope with clearance: 37.3 × 18.8 × 69.3 mm is the pack body; add room for the wrap seam, the lead exit and the mating connector before you commit to a compartment size.
  • Mass and balance: at 100 ± 10 g the pack changes the feel of a handheld light, so check where it sits relative to the grip and whether the product needs a shorter lead run or a repositioned pocket.
  • Fixation and shock: foam pads, a bracket or a moulded pocket keep the pack still; avoid point pressure on the cell ends and never clamp across the wrap seam.
  • Lead routing: keep the wiring away from the driver's hot components and give it strain relief at the exit point, especially where the light is opened for charging or service.
  • Custom lighting battery builds: when the lead exit, connector or wrap has to change for your housing, that is a configuration question rather than a mechanical workaround — send the drawing so the outline can be checked against it.

Matching the Pack to the Lighting Circuit

  1. Driver input window. Check the driver's operating range against a pack that charges to about 4.2 V and reaches end-of-discharge near 2.8 V; a driver expecting a tighter window will cut out early and leave usable capacity behind.
  2. Steady load and startup demand. List the normal current of each lighting mode separately from the inrush or boost peak, because the two are treated differently when the configuration is reviewed.
  3. Runtime target and modes. Say how long the light must run on high, on low and in any flashing or boost mode, and whether runtime is measured down to the driver's cut-off or to a lower light-output threshold.
  4. Charger behaviour. Confirm the charge voltage, current limit and termination method of the charger you intend to use, and whether charging happens inside the product or in a separate dock.
  5. Compartment drawing. Send the bay dimensions, mounting points, cable route, mating connector and pinout; a nominal 3.6 V pack from another supplier can differ by several millimetres and by which side the leads exit.
  6. Heat path. Note how close the pack sits to the LED heat sink and whether the housing is sealed; charging is limited to 0 °C to 45 °C and discharging to −20 °C to 60 °C, and a sealed handle reaches those limits far sooner than a bench.
  7. Protection split. Agree which protections live in the pack and which live in the product — overcharge at or below 4.20 V, over-discharge at or above 2.75 V, plus the temperature cut-offs — so each threshold has an owner.
  8. Voltage is not the decision. A 3.6V 7Ah NCM battery shares its nominal voltage with many packs on the market, so the drawing, the connector and the protection scheme decide fit rather than the label on the outside.

Charging, Protection & Safe Use

  • Dedicated charger only: use a lithium-ion charger designed for this pack's charging voltage and termination current, with a current limit that keeps charging at or below 2 A.
  • Polarity first: red is positive and black is negative on the standard build; check the wiring against the drawing before the first connection, because a reversed lead damages both pack and driver.
  • System protection: the finished product should carry overcharge protection at or below 4.20 V, over-discharge protection at or above 2.75 V, overcurrent and short-circuit protection, and temperature cut-offs at 45 °C for charging and 60 °C for discharging.
  • Never short-circuit, reverse-charge, overcharge, over-discharge or overload the pack, and never test it by wiring it straight across a load without the product's protection in circuit.
  • No immersion, no fire, no disassembly: a damaged pack must not be opened, charged or shipped until you have our instructions for handling that specific unit.
  • Mount it dry and ventilated, fixed against vibration, with the terminals insulated whenever the product is open for service.
  • Heat is the usual failure path in a sealed light. A 3.6V battery pack for industrial flashlights often charges inside a handle where the driver and the LED share the same air, so leave a thermal path and log the housing temperature through a full charge.
  • Qualified hands only: lithium packs are classified as dangerous goods, so installation, maintenance and system integration belong to trained technicians working from the manual and the final technical agreement.
  • Do not join finished packs in series or parallel to raise voltage or capacity; ask for a single reviewed configuration instead.

Project Inquiry & Sample Validation

  1. Describe the product — what kind of light it is, where the pack sits, and what the pack has to do in normal use.
  2. Send the electrical picture: driver input window, steady and peak current with durations, runtime target per mode, and the charger's voltage, current limit and termination method.
  3. Attach the mechanical detail: compartment drawing, mounting arrangement, connector part number, pinout, lead length and cable route.
  4. State the environment and market — ambient and in-housing temperatures, whether the product is sealed, plus the destination country and any documentation your customer asks for.
  5. Give the commercial frame: evaluation quantity, expected annual demand and the schedule you are working to, so the review covers supply as well as design.
  6. List the changes you want against the standard pack, such as connector, lead length, wrap or packaging; a custom lighting battery configuration is reviewed for feasibility against the housing and the production volume.
  7. Agree the drawing, the specification revision and the inspection points before production, then validate a sample — fit, connector polarity, charging behaviour and performance under your own duty cycle — and resolve any difference before the configuration is approved.

Ordering & Delivery

Every pack is built to a specification revision, so the first thing to confirm is which revision and configuration your order will follow; the cycle and retention criteria in the manual describe test conditions, not a service-life warranty for your product. Quantities, production scheduling and any engineering charge for a changed configuration are quoted per project — ask your sales contact for the current figures rather than assuming a standard term. PVC-wrapped packs normally travel individually protected with the terminals insulated, so confirm the packing specification and carton marking your warehouse needs. Lithium cells and packs are regulated for transport, and the documents available depend on the exact configuration and destination market, so request them for the pack you are buying instead of relying on paperwork issued for another model. Ask your sales contact about sample availability and the lead time that applies when you place the order. When you order a 3.6V 7Ah NCM battery for a lighting programme, keep the approved drawing and the incoming inspection points with the purchase order so delivered packs can be checked against them.

Technical Support & Model Matching

Technical questions reach the people who build the packs. Our engineering group in Shenzhen reviews your device's voltage window, load profile, enclosure space and charger before proposing a configuration; our sample group then builds units so you can validate fit and runtime before production. Cell selection, BMS design and pack assembly stay in-house, with quality checks in process and at final inspection, and a documentation team handling certificates, test reports and shipping papers. When a unit behaves unexpectedly in the field, our engineers help trace the fault and advise on installation and commissioning.

FAQ

How should lighting runtime be evaluated?

Test the pack with the actual driver and the light's real modes rather than estimating from the energy figure. Record the load, the driver cut-off, the temperature inside the housing and the elapsed time for each mode, and repeat at least one run at the ambient temperature the product meets in service. Rated energy is measured at C5 under the manual's conditions; how long the light runs depends on driver efficiency, dim level, cut-off setting and how cold the housing gets.

Does the maximum discharge entry define continuous operation?

No. The ≤4 A entry is a limit, not a promise of continuous 4 A operation. Ask for the permitted duration, the thermal conditions and the protection thresholds that apply to the exact revision you are buying, then compare them with your light's steady current and its startup or boost peak. Send both figures — normal current and peak with its duration — so the configuration can be checked against them.

Which charger should be used?

Use a dedicated lithium-ion charger set to this pack's charging voltage and termination current, with a current limit that stays at or below the pack's maximum charging current. Send us the charger model and its charge profile and we will check it against the pack revision. Selecting a charger from the 3.6 V nominal figure alone is not enough, because termination behaviour and protection thresholds differ between chargers.

Can this pack replace the battery in an existing industrial flashlight or work light?

Sometimes, but the decision is mechanical and electrical rather than nominal. Compare the compartment against the 37.3 × 18.8 × 69.3 mm body, then check the connector, pinout, lead exit, driver input window and cut-off with this 3.6V battery pack for industrial flashlights. Two packs of the same voltage can behave very differently if their protection thresholds or charge termination differ. Send photos of the old pack, its label and the compartment, and we will tell you what has to change.

Can two packs be connected to increase capacity or voltage?

No. Finished packs must not be joined in series or parallel, and the reference manual for the 3.6V 7Ah NCM battery rules it out. For more energy or a different voltage, ask for a separately reviewed configuration built as one pack, so the cells are matched and the protection circuit covers the whole string.

Can the connector, lead length or packaging be changed?

Changes to the lead exit, mating connector, wire length or wrap can be reviewed as a custom lighting battery configuration; feasibility depends on the space inside your housing and on the quantities you plan to build. Send the mating connector part number, the pinout, the lead length you need and a drawing of the bay, and we will come back with what can be changed and what should stay as it is.
