Important Usage Notes

Only use flat-head 18650 batteries — pointed-tip batteries are not compatible.
Do not use batteries with damaged outer insulation sleeves.
Ensure correct positive/negative orientation when inserting batteries.
Avoid use or storage in high-temperature environments.
After inserting batteries for the first time, plug in the case to activate the display screen.
For best accuracy on the power percentage display, fully cycle the batteries 2–3 times (discharge to 0%, recharge to 100%).
For fastest charging input, use a fast-charging head that supports PD or QC protocol.

Why Choose This DIY Power Bank Case?

Unlike fixed-capacity power banks, this case lets you scale your power storage to your exact needs. Use high-capacity 18650 cells for a massive battery pack, or keep spares ready to hot-swap. The wide multi-voltage output makes it compatible with smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of batteries are compatible with this 18650 power bank case?

A: This case is designed exclusively for standard 18650 flat-head (button-top or flat positive terminal) rechargeable lithium batteries with a voltage range of 3.2V–4.2V. Pointed-tip 18650 batteries and batteries with damaged outer sleeves are NOT compatible and should not be used.

Q: What is the difference between the Normal Version and the Quick Charge (PD) Version?

A: The Normal Version supports a maximum output of 5V at 2.1A, suitable for standard USB charging. The Quick Charge (PD) version supports multiple output voltages — 5V-3A, 9V-2A, and 12V-1.5A — and automatically negotiates the highest supported voltage with your device for faster charging speeds. If your device does not support 9V or 12V, it will default to the standard 5V output.

Q: Why does the power percentage display seem inaccurate at first?

A: This is a common characteristic of lithium battery percentage estimation. For the most accurate readings, fully cycle the batteries 2–3 times — meaning discharge to 0% and recharge to 100% each time. After a few cycles, the display will reflect the actual remaining capacity more precisely.

Q: Does this power bank case come with 18650 batteries included?

A: No, the 18650 batteries are not included with this case. You will need to purchase six 18650 flat-head batteries separately. This allows you to choose the capacity (mAh rating) that best suits your needs.
