Batteries for silver bullet

[archie26]

I was about to order some 3v tenergy lifepo4 batteries with charger the green ones from batteryjunction.com but chad from altsmoke says he doesn't recommend stacking batteries. I have alot of regular 510 attys not low resistance. What are some good 5v-6v batteries for the silver bullet? Or are the tenergy batts fine? Thanks

What is the resistance of the atties? You can always pick up a Kick by evolve, and run it with 18490s on your SB. I've never tried stacking those tenergies personally, but I'd look into at least drilling out a vent hole at the bottom before doing that. The SB only has the hotspring as a failsafe afaik.

Why stack batteries when you don't have to? The bats + charger will cost you almost as much as a Kick, so might just as well get the kick.

Dude, there's a very good reason that Chad and Rob at AltSmoke don't want you to stack batteries in their APV's. It's all over their website in RED TYPE.

The power switch is also designed to vent gases in addition to the hot spring collapsing, Chad has said nothing more is needed but if it makes you feel safer go ahead and make a hole in the battery cap.

Adding a Kick and sleeve extension is a much better idea than stacking batteries. Not only is it a safer option, you can actually adjust the voltage instead of a set 6 volts.

Super T also has the Kicklet now that works as an attachment to the connecting pin, so if you don't wish to put up with the hassle of the Kick in the battery tube, you can put on top of your device.
