18490 vs 18650

[mooreted]

I know there is a link somewhere all about batteries, but I can't find it.

What's the difference between a 18490 and an 18650?

160

No. Don't thank me.

Actually...

18490 indicates that the dimensions are 18mm in diameter, and 490mm long.

The 18650 is 18mm in diameter, and.... you guessed it! 650mm in length.

Does this help?

16mm difference in length

....actually, it is 49mm and 65mm...I don't have any idea why they stick that extra 0 in there...of course, I haven't stayed in a Holiday Inn lately either.................

Size (and mAh) - the two on the left are 18490, center is an 18650 and the two on the right are 14500's.

The numbers are the diameter and length (18x65.0, 18x49.0 etc).


ETA : The 14500 is the closest proximity to a standard AA battery (for size reference)

18650=18mm dia.
65mm length
0=round cell

160

No. Don't thank me.

Ah, thanks, cleared that right up for me.

To add to diameter and length, the higher number will usually have a higher capacity mah.

So, if my Indulgence mod takes 18650 then the 18490 would be too short.

Trying to find some good batteries since I've heard the latest batch of Trustfire batteries are poop.

Get AW from a trusted source, hard to go wrong there. SuperT, Lighthound and several other places sell them.

 

[mooreted]

Cool, thanks for all the help.

Doesn't the 18650 last longer than the other one too?

It should..

im using 18490s for the first time in my new reo and they are lasting a day easy, they seem to be very comparable to 18650s as far as staying power and smoke 14500s

Whoa there...what's this stuff about the 18650 Trustfires being poop? I have two...no issues as of about 2 months now. What's the word on this?

 

[mooreted]

There are several posts where people are complaining that they don't hold a charge and seem under-powered. I have two on the way, so hopefully it's nothing, but all the complaints are making me nervous. But, now I know where to get the AW batts if the TF's go south now. Glad to hear something positive about them.

 

[madjack]

I dunno for sure...I think there were/are some counterfeit blue Trustfires floating around out there...the black/silver/red ones and the Flame ones are supposed to be OK...I have some Trustfire Flame, 2400mah, 18650s I am using in hi-power led flashlites and have had no problems with them...yet...........

I sure hope they stay OK...they take a long time to charge, but with 2 in rotation, that's not an issue. I charge mine daily but have yet to have one die from lack of charge...and I honestly do vape pretty much constantly...about 3-5 mls per day.
