What is the LG M58T INR21700 cell used for?
The LG INR21700-M58T (M58T) is one of the highest-capacity 21700 cells on the market. With 5800mAh capacity and 12.5A maximum continuous discharge current, it excels wherever range and runtime are the priority:
- 🚲 Electric bicycles (e-bike) – ideal for 36V and 48V packs. A 10S2P pack (20 cells) delivers ~418Wh, range up to 40+ km.
- 🛴 Electric scooters – high capacity with low pack weight.
- 🏠 Energy storage systems (ESS / solar) – home battery buffers for photovoltaic systems, operating range −20°C to 60°C.
- 🔦 Tactical flashlights and outdoor gear – long runtime, wide temperature range.
- 🛠️ DIY battery packs – popular choice for custom 21700 nS/mP configurations.
- ♻️ E-mobility battery rebuilds – replace worn cells with higher capacity LG M58T originals.
These cells have been disassembled from packs, which means they may show traces of previous spot welding. However, they are zero-cycle cells, meaning they have never been used, and their specifications fully match those of brand-new cells.
We also offer brand-new cells, which can be found in the “Cells” category.

LG M58T vs competition – which cell to choose?
| Cell | Capacity | Max. current | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| LG M58T INR21700 ← This product | 5800 mAh | 12.5A | E-bike, ESS – max range |
| Samsung 50S INR21700 | 4900 mAh | 35A | Power tools, high current |
| BAK 21700CG-50 | 5000 mAh | 15A | ESS, moderate current |
| EVE INR21700-40P | 4000 mAh | 40A | EV high-drain |
| Samsung 35E INR18650 | 3450 mAh | 8A | 18650 format, low current |
Conclusion: If maximum range at up to 12.5A continuous discharge is the priority – the LG M58T has no equal in the 21700 format.
