6v problems

[MonsterKenny]

I just ordered some from madvapes, ill let you know how they work as soon as i get them on Monday!

Drozd, did you really mean two 3.7v batteries? Just checking...I haven't attempted anything higher than 6v. I was under the impression it wasn't a good idea.

Is there a Chuck review on these batteries:
UltraFire 880 mAh Protected Rechargeable Battery RCR123a Compatible
I thought I saw one but can't find it now.

yeah I meant two 3.7V batteries....but let me clarify and say that I only mean that with a 5.2Ω HV atty....

When you look at the way everything is inter-related as far as battery mAh ratings, max drain ratings, Amp draw and Wattage go.. there's really about only 3 batteries I'd buy..
for 3.7V...just about any of the 18650 size
for 6V...the AW 3V LiFePo4
and for 7.4V...the AW 3.7V high drain IMR 16340
(and using HV atties to bring the wattage down at 6V or 7.4...or using a carto at 6V....and vice versa uing a LR atty at 3.7V)

EDIT: those are the only batteries as far as 6V and 7.4V that the max drain rate on the batteries are sufficient to meet the Amp draw of any of our atties at that voltage without overstressing the batteries

As far as those batteries it depends on what atty and configuration you're running them at...but they have a max drain rate of <1.32A

now lets examine different configurations with that battery and amp draw
3.7V...with a LR atty....2.47A
3.7V...with a 510 atty..1.61A
3.7V...with a carto.......1.23A
7.4V..with a HV atty.....1.42A
so a single one of those at 3.7V is just barely sufficient to power a carto..but it's close and won't overstress it...but it will stress it..

Thank You for all the info Drozd. I think my head may explode.

I may PM you when I buy a voltmeter so you can teach me how to use it...LOL...Though it looks like I'll be good with two 3V LiFePo4 batteries (if Freakin Battery Junction ever sends them) using cartos or an HV 510 atty.

I'm just getting REALLY impatient and trying to find alternate batteries. It's been almost two months since my order. My Chuck was here before my batteries.

Catmommy, lighthouse had my batteries here in two days. Very fast.

Thanks Amy.

I specifically meant the AW 3V LiFePo4 batteries though...not the tenergy ones (the tenergy ones max drain rating is <.55A (a carto at 6V has a 2A draw (so almost 4 times what the battery is capable of))
sorry I don't mean to make you confused...

Drozd, when it comes to all this stuff, confusing me is NOT hard to do......I'll google the AW and see what I get. I think lighthound has them.
Thanks.

yes lighthound has them...or you can actually order them directly from the AW dealer via paypal (along with any other AW battery, and the chargers for them)...if you want the thread with all that information PM me and I'll give it to you
