Lady Pipe Batteries???

**phillydes** · 03-02-2009, 11:09 PM

I'm not sure this post is on the correct thread, so Mods feel free to move it to where you feel it belongs.

I just receive a Lady Pipe RS-888 and it is totally awesome. Tons of vapor and a great throat hit. I just have one small problem. One of the batteries only holds a charge for about 2 hours. I know they are supposed to last for about 500 puffs according to what I've read about them so I obviously got ahold of a bad one...I think. I just put my second battery in after it finished it's 12 hour charge so I don't know how long it will last either.

My question is, does anybody know where I can buy some spare batteries for the Lady Pipe? I prefer the supplier be in the US but will also consider an overseas supplier.

Thanks Pete, I appreciate your reply. I don't think those batteries are rechargeable though, are they?

Phillydes, I have just ordered a 4 pack from e-bay for $18 free shipping. They are battery #14250 but I will not be 100% sure they fit until I get them.

Pete, the +pole looks a little tall on those?

No you are right sorry, I had only looked the size up quickly last night and bookmarked it without really reading it.

Vince,

Thanks, but again I don't think those are rechargeable, are they? They may be worth it though if they last a long time, but I prefer to get rechargeable spares if I can find them.

They are lithium,click the image for description, Far as I know all lithium are rechargeable. What would anybody want with non-chargeable batteries?

those batteries I had found were lithium and I had thought the same thing about lithium...but after reading the page ....it says 'single use'

I'll do some checking, the ones I ordered are Lithium thionyl chloride. Can't say 100% if rechargeable or not at this time.

EDIT- The Lithium Thionyl Chloride battery is not rechargeable. Do not use.
