Are 14500 and 18650 batteries interchangeable?
The only difference between the 14500 and 18650 is NOT the output, they both output at 4.2V or 600mA. The difference lies in the capacity, the 14500 at 900 mAh and 18650 at 3000mAh, which means that the 18650 will last about 3 times longer before needing to recharge is all.

What is battery CDR?
The most important trait to consider when looking at 18650 batteries is the continuous discharge rating (CDR), also known as amperage capacity. The CDR is the rate at which current—measured in amps (A)—can be pulled from the battery without it overheating. If you pick the wrong battery, the cells will get too hot.
Are 18650 battery the same as AA?
The labels “18650” and “AA” technically just refer to different battery sizes. The key distinction is that the 18650 is specifically a size for a rechargeable lithium-ion battery while AA can be zinc-carbon, alkaline, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), or even lithium-ion among others.
Is 14500 same as AA battery?
No. While 14500 and AA batteries share the same general dimensions, they have distinctly different voltages due to their chemistries. 14500 batteries use lithium-ion chemistry and have a 3.6/3.7V nominal voltage, and are rechargeable. Due to their higher voltage, they are not always a suitable replacement for AAs.
Can I use 18650 instead of AA?
Are 18650 Batteries and AA Batteries the same? No they are not. They have different sizes, capacities, and voltages. Usually electronics that are designed to run on one will not run on the other.
Are 18650 batteries bigger than AA?
18650 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery: These are larger in diameter and in length than a standard AA battery size. 18650 batteries are generally 3.6/3.7 volts and have various mAh (milliamp) ratings.
