Vibrate at 10-55-10Hz at 1Hz interval per minute for 100 minutes with zero leak of electrolyte

Expose to 125 - 175G of force on X, Y, Z axis without puncture or venting

Overcharge with a 12V/1C current for 1.5hrs, must not overheat or vent

Discharge to 250% of rated capacity without overheat or vent

Bake in an oven at 130*C for 60 minutes at full charge, must vent, not fire.

Crushed with approximately 13KN of force via a 32mm piston at full charge. Must vent, not fire.

9.1KG weight is dropped from 61cm on to the sample at full charge. Must not puncture.

Short circuited from full charge with a copper wire until cell temperature falls 10*C below peak temp, no fire or explode.

Heated and cooled from 70*C to 20*C to -40*C and back to 20*C waiting 30 minute between temperature change. Repeated 10 times, at full charge.

Completely incinerated to decomposition or explosion at full charge. Test is passed if cell does not explode, or if explosion does not puncture a 2x1 foot box of 0.010in steel mesh place around cell. (16 wires per inch). Click to expand...

Hi there everyone, after many weeks of careful testing I'm happy to be able to provide genuine OEM Arizer Air cells to the community . I am procuring these cells directly from the manufacturer of the Air's "stock" cells as they are under no exclusivity agreement. Therefore, these cells are for all intents and purposes stock batteries, although I can make no guarantees about the validity of your warranty after using them.These cells are among the first on the market to use an innovative new IMR chemistry which allows them to have a higher capacity and more consistent discharge curve while staying safe and keeping a high discharge current. BAK advertises a 2150mAh capacity for these cells - and in testing they meter out to near exactly that. I need to stress just how incrediblyit is for a manufacturer to even get close to hitting their advertised capacities - even reputable companies generally advertise number in 10 - 20% excess of their real world capabilities. BAK is one of the first companies I've seen who are willing to cut the bullshit, and I really appreciate that.For various reasons I cannot recommend the use of any other kind of battery in the Arizer Air. The battery environment is borderline abusive - very high drain current, high temperatures, extra-low cutoff voltage... it's just not a safe environment for most kinds of cells. These cells are specially designed to take the extreme conditions it is subjected to under operation - in fact these cells are pretty much impossible to damage electrically. The list of safety tests they have to past in batch QC is staggering:On the bright side though, any charger that is designed to work with Li-Ion batteries is going to be compatible with these cells, although most will only charge them to around 90% capacity. Please keep in mind that these batteries are not protected and should not be used in any unprotected devices!If I have missed anything, feel free to ask any questions you may have below!
