A noob question

[Bulldog44]

I have a 5v boxmod that the guy who gave it to me told me to buy trustfire 14500 900mAh 3.7v Li-ion batteries for it, which I did and am loving it at 5v. I have a chance to also get some trustfire 14500 900mAh 3.6v Li-ion batteries as back ups for fairly cheap. I do use the trustfire multifunctional charger. My question is shouldn't the 3.6's be o.k. to use in this? Sorry I am a bit paranoid after someone spoke to me about an e-cig battery accident recently. Thanks y'all keep up the good work.

As long as they are protected batteries you should be fine. I have 3 Ultrafire's that say they are 3.6v and haven't had any problems with them.

Just wanted to back Ocelott up here. As long as they are protected you should be fine.

I use 3.2v Westinghouse LiFePO4 batteries in my 5v mod without a problem.

Thanks for y'alls answers. As is common in my life they sold before I could figure out the answer Better safe than sorry though. At least now I know the answer if it comes up again. Thank you.

I saw those at Walmart for a 4pack for $10. Can you charge them on a standard multifunction charger? I assume not since they're LiFePO4, so how do you charge them?

You can use the 3v ultrafire wf-138.
You have to use and adapter of some kind still though.
