DIY500AMP 60A CC Three-Cell Comparison

Tenpower 50XG vs Linkdata LD IRN21700 60P vs Amprius 50Q | Generated 2026-05-16

1. Test Overview

This report compares three DIY500AMP constant-current 60A discharge logs. The calculations use the raw tester CSV data. Metadata is used for battery names, setup context, cutoff settings, and stop reasons.

Fairness note: all three tests stopped because the 80 C temperature cutoff was reached before the intended 2.500V voltage cutoff. Raw total capacity and energy are therefore temperature-stop totals, not full-depth 2.500V results. The normalized ranking uses a shared cutoff of 3.3120V, which is the highest minimum voltage reached by the group.
Normalized capacity leader

3,082 mAh at 3.312V
Raw measured capacity leader
Tenpower 50XG

235.4 W peak

2. Normalized Ranking

The table below compares each cell at the same loaded voltage. This avoids giving extra credit to cells that simply ran longer before reaching the thermal limit.

Cell Normalized Cutoff (V) Normalized Capacity (mAh) Normalized Electricity (Wh) Normalized Runtime Temperature at Normalized Cutoff (C) First Heavy-Load Voltage (V)
Tenpower 50XG 3.3120 3,082 10.938 3:05 71.72 3.9238
Amprius 50Q 3.3120 2,910 10.266 2:55 77.98 3.8204
Linkdata LD IRN21700 60P 3.3120 2,711 9.273 2:43 80.02 3.6860

3. Main Results

Tenpower 50XG ranks first at the common 3.312V cutoff with 3,082 mAh and 10.938 Wh. Tenpower 50XG has the highest raw temperature-stop total at 3,944 mAh, but raw totals are not full-depth results because every file ended above 2.500V.

Cell Runtime Final Voltage (V) Capacity (mAh) Electricity (Wh) Average Voltage to Stop (V) Peak Power (W) Maximum Temperature (C) Temperature Rise (C) Stop Reason
Tenpower 50XG 3:57 3.0915 3,944 13.701 3.4737 235.4 80.05 51.96 Temperature cutoff reached: 80.05C >= 80.00C
Amprius 50Q 3:05 3.2696 3,083 10.839 3.5150 229.2 80.06 55.52 Temperature cutoff reached: 80.06C >= 80.00C | Auto-charge: charge_temp_cutoff_before_start
Linkdata LD IRN21700 60P 2:43 3.3120 2,711 9.273 3.4204 221.1 80.02 53.79 Temperature cutoff reached: 80.02C >= 80.00C

4. Usable Capacity Breakdown

None of the three files reached 3.0V, so measured capacity below 3.0V is zero in these logs. This does not mean there is no capacity below 3.0V. It means the tests ended from temperature before that part of the curve was measured.

Cell Reached 3.0V Capacity Above 3.0V (mAh) Energy Above 3.0V (Wh) Capacity Below 3.0V (mAh) Final Voltage (V)
Tenpower 50XG False 3,944 13.701 0 3.0915
Amprius 50Q False 3,083 10.839 0 3.2696
Linkdata LD IRN21700 60P False 2,711 9.273 0 3.3120

5. Thermal Analysis

Thermal behavior is the limiting factor in this upload. Linkdata reaches the 80 C cutoff first and at the highest voltage, Amprius runs longer than Linkdata but also stops from temperature, and Tenpower reaches the most raw capacity before also stopping from temperature.

Cell LAB Room Temp (C) Maximum Temperature (C) Temperature Rise (C) Temperature at Normalized Cutoff (C) Runtime
Tenpower 50XG 28.09 80.05 51.96 71.72 3:57
Amprius 50Q 24.54 80.06 55.52 77.98 3:05
Linkdata LD IRN21700 60P 26.23 80.02 53.79 80.02 2:43

6. Voltage and Power Behavior

Tenpower 50XG has the strongest first heavy-load voltage in this set. Tenpower 50XG posts the highest peak power. These early and peak values are useful, but the normalized cutoff table is the cleaner way to rank delivered capacity because all tests were thermally limited.

7. Data Quality and Validation Notes

The raw logs use the expected DIY500AMP logger columns. Amprius contains three malformed voltage strings. Those voltage cells were repaired only where valid power and current allowed the voltage to be recovered using voltage = power / current. No required chart was skipped.

Cell Rows Read Missing Required Columns Voltage Repairs Malformed Rows After Repair Time Progression Early Stop Above 2.500V
Tenpower 50XG 1138 None 0 0 Usable Yes
Linkdata LD IRN21700 60P 783 None 0 0 Usable Yes
Amprius 50Q 929 None 3 0 Usable Yes

8. Interactive Plot Summary

The charts follow the DIY500AMP standard order: voltage, power, temperature, current, and capacity over watt-hour, then voltage, power, and temperature over time, followed by the combined capacity page.

3. Temperature over Watt-hour

4. Current over Watt-hour

Final Verdict

On a fair shared-voltage basis, Tenpower 50XG is the strongest 60A result in this three-cell set. Tenpower 50XG also has the best raw temperature-stop capacity, but none of the cells reached the intended 2.500V cutoff. Because every file is thermally limited, this report should be read as a high-current thermal-stress comparison, not a full-depth capacity test.
