The Big-Format Sodium Ion Cell — More Power, Same Safe Chemistry.
The 32140 is the large-format cylindrical sodium-ion cell that serious DIY builders have been waiting for. At 10Ah and 30Wh per cell, this is roughly 8× the capacity of our 18650 sodium-ion cell in a single robust package — ideal for EV conversions, e-bikes, car jump starters, marine/RV packs, and stationary solar storage.
Like all sodium-ion chemistry, the 32140 delivers outstanding cold-temperature performance, operates safely with no thermal runaway risk comparable to lithium cobalt chemistries, and is built from abundant, responsibly sourced sodium — making it a genuinely sustainable choice. The layered oxide cathode gives it a higher working voltage and energy density than polyanion (NFPP) or Prussian blue sodium chemistries, while the large 32mm diameter format allows for very low internal resistance (≤3mΩ AC) and high peak discharge rates up to 10C continuous.
These cells have passed UN38.3 safety testing and are shipping-certified. A BMS is always recommended for pack builds — see our spot welding and BMS notes below.
Cell Size & Physical Specs
-
32140
- Dimensions: Ø32.2 mm × 140 mm (±tolerance)
- Weight: 265 ±5g (approx. 9.35 oz)
- Energy: 30Wh per cell
- Energy Density: ≥110 Wh/kg
Key Features
- Large-Format, High-Capacity Design: At 10Ah per cell, the 32140 dramatically reduces cell count for pack builds compared to 18650-format cells — fewer welds, fewer connections, simpler BMS wiring.
- Extreme Cold-Weather Performance: Rated for discharge down to -40°C — outperforms LFP in freezing conditions. Ideal for off-grid, marine, and northern-climate applications.
- High Discharge Rate Capability: Supports 10C continuous (100A) and up to 15C peak — well-suited for jump starters, power tools, and high-draw EV/e-bike applications.
- Ultra-Low Internal Resistance: AC impedance ≤3mΩ at 1kHz means minimal heat generation and excellent efficiency even under high load.
- Long Cycle Life: Rated for 2,000–3,000+ charge/discharge cycles depending on depth of discharge and temperature — significantly extending pack life over lead-acid and many lithium chemistries.
- Safer Chemistry: Sodium-ion cells use no lithium cobalt oxide — dramatically lower flammability risk. The large-format construction also reduces the number of cells in series, simplifying thermal management.
- UN38.3 Transport Certified: These cells have passed the international standard for lithium and sodium battery air/ground shipment safety testing.
- Sustainable Sodium Technology: Sodium is more abundant and less geopolitically constrained than lithium, offering a lower long-term cost trajectory and a reduced environmental footprint.

Pack Building & Spot Welding Notes
The 32140 is a large-format cell and behaves differently from 18650 cells during spot welding and pack assembly. Follow these guidelines for best results:
- Always use a BMS (Battery Management System) sized for your pack voltage and max discharge current.
- Use nickel strip rated for the current you plan to draw — at 10C, these cells can push 100A peak.
- Start with a mid-power spot welder setting. These larger terminals require more dwell time but are more tolerant of heat than 18650-format cells.
- Test connections with a pull-force check before closing your pack.
- Never short-circuit or overdischarge below 1.5V — always verify your BMS cutoff settings before first charge.
Recommended BMS: Use a sodium-ion compatible BMS with a 3.0V nominal cell voltage setting. Most modern multi-chemistry BMS units support sodium-ion — confirm the charge cutoff can be set between 3.5V–4.0V and discharge cutoff to 1.5V–2.0V. Contact us if you need BMS recommendations for your specific build.
