🔋 4,000mAh Capacity
High output doesn't have to mean sacrificing useful capacity.
With a typical capacity of 4,000mAh, the K40 provides a strong balance between runtime and high-current performance. Vapcell specifies a minimum capacity of 3,900mAh, measured at a 0.2C discharge rate.
That makes the K40 a great option for flashlight enthusiasts who want a battery capable of supporting high-output operation while maintaining useful overall runtime.
🔥 30A Continuous / 45A Maximum Discharge
The K40's standout feature is its high-current capability.
Maximum continuous discharge: 30A
Maximum discharge: 45A with an 80°C cutoff
The 45A figure should be understood as a maximum discharge specification under the stated temperature cutoff, not a continuous 45A rating. For normal use, the 30A continuous rating is the more important specification when determining compatibility.
Always verify that the battery's specifications match the requirements of your specific device.
🔦 Excellent Choice for High-Powered Flashlights
The K40 is particularly well suited to high-output 21700 flashlights that require a high-drain cell.
Its combination of capacity and current capability makes it an excellent battery for flashlight enthusiasts looking to get the most out of compatible high-performance lights.
Ideal for:
- High-output 21700 flashlights
- High-drain electronics
- Compatible portable power applications
- Flashlight enthusiasts
- EDC and outdoor gear
- Emergency preparedness
- Replacement 21700 batteries
- High-current applications
Important: Always confirm that your device specifically supports a flat-top, unprotected 21700 lithium-ion battery before use.
📏 21700 Flat-Top Design
The K40 uses the standard 21700 battery format and features a flat positive terminal.
Approximate dimensions:
- Diameter: 21.1mm
- Length: 70.6mm
