NiteCore 18650HP 3600mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery 8A High-Performance
‹ BackDescription
Nitecore NL1836HP 18650 Li-Ion Battery 3600mAh / 8A – High Performance
High-performance protected 18650 Li-Ion battery for demanding applications in underwater photography, video and diving equipment.
Nitecore NL1836HP – High-performance 18650 battery with 3600mAh and 8A
The Nitecore NL1836HP is a high-quality protected 18650 Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 3600mAh and a continuous discharge current of up to 8A.
This combination makes it particularly interesting for equipment with higher power requirements, including powerful LED lights, photo and video equipment and compatible underwater strobes and underwater video lights.
Ideal for demanding underwater photo and video equipment
Modern underwater strobes can require relatively high current while the flash capacitor is recharging. A high-performance battery can therefore offer an advantage compared with conventional lower-output 18650 cells.
With 3600mAh capacity and an 8A continuous discharge current, the NL1836HP provides an excellent balance between long runtime and reliable current delivery.
Our tip for underwater photographers:
When selecting batteries for powerful underwater strobes, capacity
in mAh is not the only important factor. The battery must also be able
to reliably supply the current required by the device.
Key features
- 3600mAh capacity
- 8A continuous discharge current
- Protected 18650 Li-Ion battery
- Suitable for equipment with higher power requirements
- High energy density

Applications in underwater photography and video
The NL1836HP is particularly interesting for compatible underwater equipment requiring a high-performance 18650 battery. Typical applications can include:
- Underwater strobes
- Powerful underwater video lights
- Focus lights
- Aiming lights
- Dive lights
- Photo and video accessories powered by 18650 batteries
High current capability can be particularly advantageous with powerful strobes, where the battery must supply sufficient current while the flash capacitor is being recharged.
Important compatibility information
Please note:
18650 batteries can differ in capacity, discharge capability,
dimensions and construction. At approximately 69.8mm,
the protected Nitecore NL1836HP is longer than many unprotected
standard 18650 cells.
Always check whether your device is designed for protected 18650 batteries of this length and electrical specification.
Why choose a high-quality branded battery?
With powerful underwater strobes, video lights and dive lights, consistent quality and reliable current delivery are just as important as nominal capacity.
The Nitecore NL1836HP combines high capacity, strong current capability and an integrated protection circuit, making it an excellent choice for demanding compatible equipment.
