Title says it all
Mine are blue and say " LC14430 3.7v 650mah 201010" on them. I got the kit in late Feb.
Thanks!

Are Infinity batteries the "protected" kind?

I don't know. I have the blue 14430-NTI I got from Mike on the first run and it's a protected battery. Protected batteries have a little indentation on the bottom that goes around the battery on the bottom of the battery. It's the edge of the protection circuit mounted on it. The non protected ones go straight down. Sometimes you have to run your finger nail around it to see it. The Infinity is protected though so your okay if it isn't.
They are supposed to be, and they certainly look like they have a protection circuit, but I accidentally mixed mine up earlier, and my markings wore off, so I measured the voltage on them and one of them had discharged to .2V
.. but it is not uncommon to occasionally get a battery with a defective protection circuit.

There were some that went out long ago that were not protected , we relied on the protection in the unit to provide protection , you can tell if there is a PCB on the bottom of the battery , there will be a dip in the plastic wrap at the bottom .
Buzzkill,
When you say there would be a dip in the plastic on the bottom, do you mean on the lil round negative bottom or on the side, BY the bottom?
I notice a ridge on the side of the battery that is real near the bottom. But that ridge isn't on the batts from Feb. Would I have to keep them separate and not use them together if some are the non protected kind?
Thanks,
Lori

Silk I would keep them separate, I keep all my batts in separate sets just to be cautious. Some folks say it's a good idea and some don't think it's necessary. If one of your sets is non protected, I'd think it would be a good idea Just my opinion.
Just my opinion.- Status
