6v is not the answer HIGH DRAIN CELLS is the answer!!

AW IMR18650 1600mAh LiMN rechargeable lithium battery


I just got a couple of these batteries in, and let me just say two 3v cells HAVE NOTHING on this battery.

It kicks like a mad man, and vapor production is off the chart with it. After talking with CDDZ on Skype showing it off with a single 801, and with the DBSB. I now have a nicotine rush in a half with the sweats, and a nice little nicotine headache going on. I'm ALSO used to vapping the DBSB non-stop so really it's more than normal.

The battery maybe only rated 1600mah, but that is rated with it's max discharge rate. I expect this battery to outlast a normal 2400mah three to four times. So more or less in 3 to 4 days it should be dead. I don't know that for sure tho. After I run the ropes with it for a week I will post a video over them.


It really does hit like a 6v setup, and the DBSB with this battery is just WOW.


I ordered a new charger from there site, and it did kick off at 4.19v just like it said it should with the newer chargers.


Gotta go.....get my nicotine rush down a bit

Also one last thing/YOU DON'T HAVE TO STACK batteries THIS WAY

Next Day Update

Alright I didn't go to bed last night. Vapped on this hardcore all day, and all night long. It is 4:40AM

Installed about 2:30-3:00 at 4.19v
At 10:45PM it had dropped down to 3.6v
now at 4:40AM it's reading 3.19v

I have been chain vapping on this more or less on the DBSB with 801s for the most part. Few times I had a 510 installed on it.

It's still hitting nice, and is giving a smooth hit on the DBSB. IDK how much it can go, but I could install a fresh one if I wanted a bigger hit.

So this leaves me with IDK I still really like this battery, and it is lasting a very long time. I guess no matter if you have a normal battery, or a high drain battery you still want to change them out for a new one in the morning.

I would still highly rate this battery off first impressions of it.

Soon after I typed this the battery dropped to 2.1v, and kicked off from working. Seems like other batteries when you hit that point. It's ready to just die out.

It might get stronger the more times I charge, and use the battery that could happen. For now tho that is what I got out of it.

 

[KingVapor]

Yeah, I noticed these yesterday. The 18650 LiMN look like they will be perfect for the DBSB.

 

[halopunker]

Are these protected? (Doesnt look like it)

 

[rejoice]

Went to the site and they are out of stock. This seems to be the way it always is.
Want something for the e-cig and not available. Any more sites selling this battery?

According to there web site.

Safe chemistry LiMN 3.7V rechargeable battery is now available in 18650 size. These cells can handle high amperage and is safe to use in series / multi-cell applications. Can be charge with any LiIon battery charger with 4.2V output.

Specifications:
Nominal Voltage : 3.7V
Capacity : 1600mAH
Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V
Standard Charge : CC/CV ( max. charging rate 4.5A )
Cycle Life : > 500 cycles
Max. continuous discharge rate : 10C

Caution:
- Do not over-discharge/overcharge
- Recharge empty batteries ( resting voltage ~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.

I did see a new AW 18650 Protected....

Everyone who is serious about batteries and flashlights will tell you that AW batteries are the premier lithium ion (also known as li-ion) rechargeable batteries available for use in flashlights. AW brand batteries are the only batteries specifically designed to get the best performance out of high-end flashlights.

Picture shows two batteries for reference. These are priced per battery, they are not sold in sets of two.

Note: In some applications the 1mm magnetic spacer is need for the positive end to make contact. 1mm space can be found at the bottom of the page.

Sorry didn't see that these were not button top.

No, but they are supposed to be even safer than lifep04 batteries. You can stack these without even a PCB board. With Lifep04 batteries when you stack them you still have to put a PCB board on them.

If you shorted these High Drain Cells out, the spring in the mod would melt away before anything happened most likely.

 

[d4rk3]

Hmmmm, I'm intrigued

Well with a dead spacer battery you could use the CR123 high drain for a lot of different ones. Of course the 18650 would be good for things like the SB, GGT, Chuck.

The 16340 with the spacer would work in things like the Prodigy, Xhaler, and so on.

AW IMR16340 550 mAh
AW IMR16340 550 mAh IMR CR123 size LiMN Rechargeable Lithium Battery

CR123 Spacer
Here is the spacer, and yes with the spacer it would work in the SB also.

The 18500
AW IMR18500 1100mAh LiMN rechargeable lithium battery

This battery would work good with the original SB the shorter one.


Sucks the 18650 one is sold out at the moment. Don't know of anyone else stocking these at the moment.

Would it work with the Protege V1 also?

Yes, these are protected.

 

[mpetva]

Yes, these are protected.

Would they last longer than the Trustfire 900Ah 3.7V 14500 Protected?

It would be safe to use these in the Protege then? Will the size fit?
Why have I not seen this mentioned for the Protege before? Weird.

Sorry, I know nothing about batteries, LOL

 

[DaMulta]

I don't think the batteries would fit in that. The 14500 is a smaller width size battery.

 

[mpetva]

Thanks :-(

 

[Pete54]

I don't believe that the new AW 18650 2600mAh batteries are button top.

 

[harpo]

This site has them but they want $26 shipped for two.

Good find, and about the same price as lighthound. I think they are worth the extra cost of the batteries so far. I have yet too see how long I get out of them tho.

 

[harpo]

So you're saying they have better vapor and throat hit than the ones we all use at the moment?

 

[Martin2277]

I don't believe that the new AW 18650 2600mAh batteries are button top.

Yeah my bad... Guess I didn't see that.

 

[DaMulta]

Yes, I'm getting a better throat hit/vapor production.

Right now the limn battery is reading 3.9v, and the ultrafire is reading 4.2v. Too me the high drain hits just a little harder on a 510.

I'm going to use just this battery, and see how long it will run for me. I'll post the voltage 24 hours from now also.

They sale a .20 cent magnet for the AW 18650 at that site so you can have a button top.
