Durable and high-safety cylindrical case for 21700 lithium-ion battery cell research and assembly
The Cell Lab 21700 Cylinder Cell Case is a precision-engineered, nickel-plated housing designed for lithium-ion battery prototyping, R&D, and pilot-scale production. Built from SPCC-grade steel with nickel plating, it offers superior mechanical durability, corrosion resistance, and thermal reliability.
Each case integrates an anti-explosive pressure relief cap, nylon insulation O-ring, and a PTC thermistor that automatically cuts off current flow at 120 °C, effectively preventing thermal runaway and short-circuit failures. The structure follows standard 21700 dimensions for seamless assembly compatibility in laboratory and industrial applications.
Precision Fit for 21700 Cells
Accurate internal and external dimensions (OD 21.5 mm, ID 21.1 mm, H 73.7 mm) for consistent electrode alignment and reliable sealing.
Anti-Explosive Safety Cap
Equipped with a 2.4 MPa pressure relief valve that vents excess gas to prevent overpressure or explosion.
Integrated PTC Thermistor
Built-in thermal protection system interrupts current above 120 °C to ensure operational safety.
Nickel-Plated Steel Construction
SPCC steel body provides high tensile strength and corrosion resistance for long-term stability.
Electrical Insulation O-Ring
Nylon ring isolates top and bottom terminals, minimising short-circuit risks during cell operation.
