The Juice Box ...My 1st Review

[quasimod]

I thought the only battery the JB took was a 18650??

That's correct, but as mentioned above the 18650 is available in different "mAh" ratings, or "milli-amp hour". Here's a loose analogy I grabbed from a quick Google:

The milli-amp hour is the standard unit of storage capacity for a cell.
It is similar to "gallons of fuel" for an internal combustion engine. The milli-amp hour rating of a cell tells how many constant milli-amps of current can be supplied by the pack for one hour. This rating can be used to find the duration that a battery pack can provide given a certain draw.
Because cells are wired in series, the milli-amp hour rating of a pack is the same as the milli-amp hour rating of a single cell.

I believe Yepster was referring to the message just before his where willyB was talking about 14500 batteries. (I think)

Anyone else get there box yet??

[Kuya Dave]

the battery used with it is the 18650 that is the model #
the 2400 2500 2600 3000mah is just storage capacity.
But current Tests on those batteries show the 2600 is at average to be best.
all though it always depends on the batch of batteries.

Some protective 18650 is a little longer due to the design the manufacture chose. & most are common sized.

Before I ordered batteries I read reviews of a few brands and mah & feel the 2600 would be best. from 1amp to 5amp draws.

Although each test showed differently on how they would work.
the 3000mah is about twice the price as the 2600 depending brand/time of ordering


The above is my personal researching.

& For note.. Great Job Carlos.. & Keep the great work up.

Ok peoples...I started a PV addicts group...get your hineys over there...its in the social group thingys.

I'll holler at Carlos this week and see what the update is...I usually have to catch him early in the mornings...so i'll see what i can find out.

You all are right..he was having trouble getting the boxes..and i know a few people were scrambling around to find them and ship them to him.

[CloudBurst]

Let me know if he needs any more, they had them at the local RS, maybe even in a few stores. I'd be happy to pick them up if it helped.

[SNM]

Ill send him boxes as well. If that is what it takes to get these things going.
