Feb 18, 2015 · 18650 batteries sold in the US are required to have CID and PTC protection. However most cells for vaporizers are sold without PCB's. This is because the PCB will limit the amp discharge of your battery to 6A, when vaporizers need 10A - 30A.

The CID in an 18650 cell. In this pic, the PTC is the dark green washer between the white CID and the red cap (positive electrode). Everything inside the gold insulative gasket is positive, and all the grey stuff outside of it is the negative.

Apr 14, 2023 · The current interrupt device (CID) is a fuse-type device that cuts off the electrical circuit permanently when triggered by excessive cell pressure, high temperature, or high voltage, depending on design.

Jun 21, 2017 · The CID is a mechanical device, effectively it's just a pressure release valve. When pressure builds up inside the battery the CID will pop out and thus mechanically cut the battery off.

The CID is disconnected when the internal air pressure reaches a certain level, alerting the battery to explode. Unrecoverable. The reason for the increase in air pressure is that the external temperature is too high, the battery core is directly short …

Test programs in the past decade indicated that internal protective devices (such as the PTC and CID) in small cylindrical COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) Li-ion cells failed to protect when the battery module designs included multi-cell series and/or parallel configurations.

Jan 1, 2021 · The current interrupt device (CID) and vent mechanism in the cap of 18650 lithium-ion cells decrease thermal runaway risks by electrically isolating the cell upon internal pressure increase and...

Sep 1, 2021 · Current interrupt device (CID) is built-in to most 18650’s and other large formats. It is a pressure valve placed beside the PTC to disable the cell if the internal pressure becomes too high. Tab/lead meltdown (fusible link) can be included to …

Jul 15, 2019 · Does your battery have protection circuitry? 18650 batteries sold in the US are required to have CID and PTC protection. However most cells for vaporizers are sold without PCB's. This is...

This document discusses various protection devices found inside and outside 18650 lithium-ion batteries. Internally, batteries contain PTC switches, CID devices, and tab/lead meltdowns to inhibit current surges and protect against over-temperature, pressure, and voltage.
