I'm trying to learn as much about battery safety as I can. I have been spending the whole night reading Baditudes material. My question is what type of battery is the Aspire CF SUB OHM? Their own site gives little details as to the company and style. All I can find is it is 2000 mAH, 4.2V input, output 4.2V=40A. I suppose it is an 18650 but I can't find exactly details. The site talks about built in protection, over charge, discharge and under charge. Is this a good battery? What safety precautions should I take with it. I'm sure this is a dumb question but all I've read so far is material regarding mechanical mod batteries. To my knowledge this is all electronic right? Any advice or knowledge is greatly accepted thanks.

The Aspire CF Sub Ohm is a fixed voltage regulated APV with an integrated battery. The blogs you were reading on batteries were about loose batteries people put in their mods.

Aspire is a well known and respected brand. Here's a review on it: A PBusardo Review - The Aspire Atlantis & CF Sub Battery The review starts at 23:00

    I watched the video. I understand there is no truly safe option when it comes to batteries. What type of safety should be used when dealing with a Lipo?

    Stand WAY back :lol:

    Just so you understand, any battery can be made to vent .... there are no exceptions. So in my mind the question becomes 'what happens IF the battery vents'?

    Both Lithium cobalt (ICR) and Lithium polymer (LIPO) vent in a violent manor.
    Both Lithium manganese and Lithium nickle/manganese do not. (IMR/INR)

    So my next question is 'why use LIPO cells when there are safer alternatives'?
    There really is a message in the fact that "LIPO BAGS" even exist!

    Manufacturers like to use LIPO cells because of the performance ......... AND THEY ARE CHEAP.
    (and they could care less about your safety)

    This is what happens when a LIPO cell goes thermal

    The Aspire CF Sub Ohm battery is in fact a regulated device, although it is not variable voltage nor watts adjustable. The battery is not replaceable, but the device has built in protection. When it has discharged to an unacceptable level, the fire switch will simply flash in orange and it will not fire. The Aspire CF Mod, however, is simply a tube that contains a separate 18650 replaceable battery. This device is NOT regulated, and carries more risk than the CF Sub Ohm battery. You will need a separate charger for the CF Mod, while the CF Sub Ohm setup screws into an Aspire "screw-on" 510 Charging cord (and make sure that it is an Aspire charger, others don't fit the CF Sub Ohm quite so well). In my opinion, there is very little value in the CF Mod other than the matching appearance to the Atlantis tank. The CF Sub Ohm battery, however is a good, basic, trouble free device when matched with the Atlantis tank...that's really what it was made for. Hope this helps!
