Please be advised no IMR cells have Protection circuits. Two reasons: safer chemistry IMR don't need them to prevent fire or explosion. Second, a protection circuit Would create to much resistance. The protection circuit (PCB) would Fry.
DO NOT DISCHARGE BELOW 3.5 volts!
I am using a Pila IBCT charger with these IMR cells and I certainly want protected
batteries!
I don't understand can you tell me in laymans terms please?
IMR cells do not require under and over voltage protection because if abused or overcharged they wont "vent with flame" like Li-ion cells can. Thus no need for a protection circuit.
Worst case scenario with IMR cells, loss of capacity and/or a little leakage of electrolyte.
And No need to throw IMR cells away if they pass below 3.5 volts. They can go as low as 3.0 volts for a short time once in a while.
Also the 2900mah 18650 P LiCo cells new NNP technology means it also can pass down to 3.0 volts without permanent damage if recharged quickly.
Caution :
- Do not over-discharge/overcharge;
- Recharge empty
batteries ( resting voltage below ~3.6V ) as soon as possible. Leaving LiIon
batteries in discharged state will incur irreversible damage ( capacity / cycle loss );
- Do not short circuit ( will release tremendous current );
- Do not dispose of in fire.
Your order will be shipping this week
It was delayed by Bad weather here in NY, Chinese new Year, even more Snow, And the factory didn't have any until monday of last week making an order impossible until recently.We ran out before the factory could resupply us.
Sorry for the delay
Your Pila charger is the best money can buy and will work perfectly with these cells. I will try to get these chargers. I own one myself.
