Cylindrical 21700 High-Energy Cell
FEB 62E
Cylindrical 21700 cell delivering 6 Ah capacity, 288 Wh/kg energy density and 12 A maximum discharge rate.
Overview
The FEB 62E is a high-energy Li-ion cylindrical 21700 cell designed for applications that demand high energy density and extended runtime. Released in 2024 and with the manufacturer based in China, this cylindrical 21700 cell delivers 6 Ah capacity and 21.6 Wh of energy at a nominal voltage of 3.6 V, with a maximum continuous discharge capability of 12 A, making it suitable for applications with moderate power requirements. The silicon-bearing anode contributes to that energy density. Among the 21700 cylindrical cells in the About:Energy battery library, the FEB 62E ranks 16th of 97 for gravimetric energy density. Its 288 Wh/kg compares with a 21700 cylindrical median of 257 Wh/kg.

Applications & Use‑Cases
The FEB 62E is well suited to the following applications due to its 21700 format and high energy density performance.
Aviation: Requires high specific energy for extended flight duration, high power-to-weight ratio for climb performance, and reliable operation across wide temperature ranges at altitude.
E-Mobility: Requires balanced energy and power density for range and acceleration, high cycle life for daily use, and robust calendar life to ensure long-term reliability.
Drones: Demands high gravimetric power density for thrust and payload capacity, rapid current response for flight control, and stable voltage delivery across dynamic flight profiles.
General Applications: Suitable for applications requiring reliable lithium-ion performance with proven cycle life, consistent capacity delivery, and operational safety across diverse use cases.

Motorsports
McMurtry Automotive: Faster cell evaluation
McMurtry Automotive used The Voltt and validated cell models to evaluate the transition from the Molicel P45B to P50B during early pack concept development.
Side by side modelling enabled rapid comparison of electrical and thermal behaviour, avoiding lengthy physical test campaigns. This approach reduced cell evaluation time by seven months, allowing the team to lock in cell selection and pack assumptions earlier while lowering technical risk and accelerating vehicle development.

Manufacturer Background
FEB
FEB is a Chinese cylindrical lithium-ion cell manufacturer
Far East Battery, trading as FEB, was founded in 2009 and is a core subsidiary of the listed Far East Smart Energy group. The company develops and manufactures cylindrical lithium-ion cells, modules and complete pack systems, with the 18650 and 21700 formats forming the backbone of its catalogue. FEB serves electric vehicles, stationary energy storage, electric two-wheelers, power tools and consumer electronics, giving it volume across several high-turnover segments. It has pushed mass-produced 21700 capacity upward in successive steps, releasing higher-capacity variants ahead of much of the market while holding the same cell dimensions. Its position rests on capacity records within established formats rather than novel chemistries.
