Cylindrical 21700 Cell

Tenpower 58HE

Cylindrical 21700 cell delivering 5.65 Ah capacity with 283 Wh/kg energy density and 12.5 A maximum discharge rate.

Overview

The Tenpower 58HE is a high-energy lithium-ion cylindrical 21700 cell designed for applications that demand high energy density and extended runtime. Released in 2022 and with the manufacturer based in China, this cylindrical 21700 cell delivers 5.65 Ah capacity and 20.3 Wh of energy at a nominal voltage of 3.6 V, with a maximum continuous discharge capability of 12.5 A, making it well suited to energy-focused applications requiring extended runtime. At 283 Wh/kg, the 58HE ranks among the highest gravimetric energy densities in the 21700 format within the Voltt library, and its silicon-additive graphite anode contributes to the elevated gravimetric energy density relative to peers at this discharge level.

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

Tenpower

Tenpower is a Chinese cylindrical lithium-ion cell manufacturer

Jiangsu Tenpower Lithium was founded in 2006 and is based in Zhangjiagang, China, where it develops and manufactures cylindrical lithium-ion cells in the 18650 and 21700 formats. Its catalogue covers both lithium iron phosphate and nickel-based chemistries, tuned for high power delivery, thermal stability and fast charging. The company supplies power tools, electric two-wheelers and light mobility, vacuum cleaners and energy storage customers across more than forty countries, having shipped cells in the billions since founding. It is a subsidiary of a listed Chinese industrial group, which underwrites its manufacturing capacity. Tenpower is an established high-volume supplier in the cylindrical power-cell segment rather than a recent entrant.
