Protected Batteries in SD

[Mufftrix]

Apoligies if answered elsewhere! (sure seen somewhere ha ha)

After resisting for weeks have finally caved in and ordered a screwdriver! A lot of weighing up pro`s and con`s but hoping it going to be worth the hefty layout! Am just fed up of battery life on 901 which imo is only downfall of a great device! Am just wondering about using these batteries and if anyone can confirm they fit/work (I know they protected ) Just don`t want order if they to big and won`t fit in properly!

Ok so you will pay £13+ for 1 battery and charger when you can have 4 batteries and a dual charger from HK on Ebay for under £10? Order today and I'm sure they will be with you sometime next week.

Sorry I know where I would be spending my cash, and already have. I can't attest to the long time lifespan of these cells but I have no problems so far. Remember you can look at 16340 3.6v-3.7v cells too not just the 123a cells.

I appreciate your argument on price it like you say it works out a lot cheaper! (bit late to worry about that daren`t look at cost of this addiction up to now)but it just a safety issue to thinking at least UK ones will have passed some kind of safety test, so can leave on without worrying about house burning down if forget and leave it plugged in! Have ordered some of those you linked to anyhow at price they got be worth a punt!

[spyderuk]

They are worth a punt and I'm sure most cells, no matter what brand originate from overseas.

Remember, batteries should never be left unattended whilst charging. I sit and watch mine charge for 10 hours lol. I also usually charge them at work in my workshop

Just dreading another parcel turning up wife will have me in shed never mind charger haha and there no power in there Think that will do now for spending. It frightening just worked out have spent £420 in a month!!!!That compared to analogs at £5.60 x 45 = £252 (a pack and half day on average fo 30 days) Hopefully now when SD arrives that should be it bar a few atomisers and my cart/liquid supplies haha!

Those Uniross batteries are 3.0 Volt, I don't think they will work with an e-cig.
You need the 3.7 Volt ones!.
