⚔ Advanced Safety 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 Current: 1A–2A
- Max Charge Current: Up to 5A (with thermal limits)
- Charge Cutoff Temp: 50°C (122°F)
Compatible with most quality 21700 chargers. Slightly longer than unprotected cells due to the protection circuit -check your device’s battery compartment before purchase.
📦 What’s Included
- One (1) ORB-5550P-21 Protected 21700 Battery
- 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 does “Protected” actually mean?
Orbtronic protection is a precision-engineered safety system built with components from Japan and the USA. It monitors voltage and current in real time and disconnects the battery instantly if anything goes wrong -including overcharge, deep discharge, short circuit, or overload.
How fast does it react to danger?
Very fast. Short circuit response is around 320 microseconds, and overcurrent cutoff happens in about 9 milliseconds -long before heat can build up.
Is there thermal protection?
Yes, but not through temperature sensors. Heat follows current. Our system monitors current directly and cuts it off before thermal stress becomes dangerous. It’s faster and more reliable than waiting for a thermal sensor to react.
What happens if I overcharge or overdischarge?
The protection circuit disconnects the battery automatically. Overcharge cutoff is 4.325V, and overdischarge cutoff is 2.5V -keeping the cell safe and stable.
Can I use this in high-drain devices?
Yes, up to 15A continuous. While the core cell may support higher pulse discharge, Orbtronic protection is designed to cut off above 15A for long-term safety and reliability.
What makes Orbtronic protection better?
We use real specs, not vague claims. Components are sourced from Japan and the USA, and the circuit is built with gold-plated PCB, nickel tabs, and tested for humidity and heat stress.
Will this fit in my device?
This is a protected 21700 cell, which is slightly longer than unprotected versions. Please check your device’s battery compartment before purchase.
