🆕 21700 Battery 5550mAh Protected Button Top Li-ion Rechargeable 3.7V Best For High Performance Flashlight Orbtronic

5550mAh Upgrade. Longer Runtime. Proven Protection..

Looking for the sweet spot between capacity, safety, and compatibility? The newest 21700 Orbtronic battery delivers 5550mAh of verified capacity, translating directly to longer runtime and extended endurance in high-drain flashlights, tactical gear, and demanding devices. That's an 550mAh capacity increase over our bestselling ORB-5000P-21, with the same proven protection architecture from Japanese and U.S. semiconductor components. Built with real-time voltage and current monitoring, multi-stage fault detection, and industrial-grade reliability, this protected 21700 battery gives you measurable power where it matters. If your ORB-5000P-21 is hitting runtime limits, or you need sustained performance under load, the ORB-5550P-21 is your upgrade: more capacity, same rock-solid protection, better endurance.

⚔️ Advanced Safety Electronic Protection

Most batteries say “Protected.” Orbtronic shows you how.

We use a precision-engineered safety circuit built with components from SEIKO‑Ablic (Japan) and Alpha & Omega Semiconductor (USA) -trusted in industrial and medical-grade electronics.

  • Overcharge cutoff: 4.325V
  • Overdischarge cutoff: 2.5V
  • Overcurrent cutoff: ~15A
  • Short-circuit response: ~320 microseconds
  • Standby drain: ≤0.1μA

Circuit design includes multi-stage fault detection, triple-MOSFET layout for thermal balance, gold-plated PCB, pure nickel tabs, and humidity-tested assembly.

We monitor current directly -because heat follows current. Protection kicks in before thermal stress becomes a problem.

🔋 Charging & Compatibility

  • Charging Voltage: 4.2V (CC-CV method)
  • Recommended Charging Current: 1A-2A
  • Max Charge Current: Up to 5A (with strict thermal limits)
  • Charge Cutoff Temp: 50°C (122°F) Thermal limit

Compatible with most quality 21700 Li-ion chargers. Slightly longer than unprotected cells due to the protection circuit-check your device’s battery compartment before purchase.

📦 What’s in the box

  • One (1) Orbtronic Protected 21700 Battery ORB-5550P-21
  • One (1) Orbtronic Protective Case (holds two cells)
  • Secure, professional packaging

⚠️ Important Safety Warnings

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: These are high-capacity, high-discharge lithium-ion batteries. To avoid potential safety risks, it's absolutely essential to use them correctly. Before use, please thoroughly review the provided safety guidelines and specifications for proper handling, charging procedures, and compatible devices. Mishandling these batteries can lead to significant hazards.

  • AVOID SHORT CIRCUITS. Short circuits can cause fires, serious injuries, or damage to your device.
  • Fully charge the battery to 4.2V before using it for the first time.
  • Use only high-quality dedicated Li-ion chargers.
  • Do not charge unattended or expose batteries to extreme temperatures.
  • Store unused batteries in the provided plastic case.
  • Never use with e-cigarettes, vaporizers, or similar devices.
  • Immediately discontinue use if the battery is damaged or behaves abnormally.
  • If there's resistance when inserting the battery, stop immediately and investigate the cause. Never use force.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Inspect your battery for physical damage, torn heat-shrink, or compromised terminal insulation before every use.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is a protected 21700 battery? +

Think of it as a battery with a built-in bodyguard. The Orbtronic protection circuit constantly monitors for dangers like short circuits, overcharging, and over-discharging. If a fault is detected, it instantly disconnects the cell, giving you and your high-performance devices an essential layer of safety and peace of mind.

How fast does the protection circuit react? +

It reacts instantly to keep you safe. The circuit shuts down in microseconds—faster than you can blink—to prevent the dangerous heat buildup that can damage your device and the battery itself.

How does Orbtronic thermal protection work? +

Our system is smarter than basic thermal sensors. Since excessive heat is always caused by excessive current, we monitor the current directly. By cutting off unsafe current levels, we stop danger *before* it can ever lead to a thermal problem. It's a proactive system that's faster and more reliable than just reacting to heat.

What happens if a 21700 battery is overcharged? +

The circuit acts as an automatic safety net. It will instantly stop the charge if the voltage exceeds 4.3V and will cut off power if the voltage drops below 2.5V from use. This prevents permanent damage and keeps the cell operating safely within its intended limits, dramatically extending its service life.

Is this a high-drain 21700 battery? +

Yes, this is an excellent choice for high-drain devices, rated for a true 15A continuous discharge. This 15A limit is an engineered safety feature designed to ensure long-term reliability and prevent overheating during sustained use in powerful electronics.

Why choose an Orbtronic protected battery? +

It’s our commitment to engineering excellence. Instead of vague claims, we deliver verifiable quality:

  • Premium Components: We use safety-critical components sourced from Japan and the USA.
  • Superior Construction: The circuit is built on a gold-plated PCB with pure nickel tabs for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance.
  • Rigorous Testing: Every design is stress-tested against humidity and heat to guarantee performance in harsh conditions.
What are the dimensions of a protected 21700 battery? +

Because of the added safety circuit, this protected cell is slightly longer than an unprotected one (approx. 75mm vs 70mm). To ensure a perfect fit, we highly recommend measuring your device's battery bay or checking its manual for compatibility with "protected 21700 batteries" before purchasing.
