In our everyday life, we bump into or use batteries. It is difficult for a day to end without using your mobile phone, laptop, watch, remote, or even radio. Most of these gadgets are powered by different types of batteries. A battery is a device utilized to generate electrical energy. And some of the common batteries that are widely used today are 18650<\/a> and AA batteries<\/a>. Both of these batteries have a lot of similarities but as well differ.<\/p>\n

To avoid the confusion that people face when choosing between 18650 and AA batteries, we\u2019ve created this article to differentiate between the two types of batteries.<\/p>\n

Power Output<\/strong><\/h3>\n

First and foremost, AA batteries have a lower power output when compared to 18650 batteries. The 18650 battery is a lithium-ion cell with a nominal voltage of 3.6 volts per piece. Lithium cells are more powerful than alkaline cells<\/a>. Furthermore, the design of this battery is modern and it utilizes authentic lithium-ion connected to particular circuitries. On the other hand, the AA non-rechargeable batteries such as the zinc-carbon cells function at around 1.5 volts. Alternatively, the AA rechargeable battery has different nominal voltages. For example, nickel-cadmium has 1.2 voltages while nickel-zinc variants have a nominal voltage of 1.6 voltages.
