Batteries Question

[torrix]

Hi,
I am a little bit confused about the battery types in the aspect of protection.
I have an Evic so I only use the battery that came with it, but I intend to buy the Itaste SVD when its available.
I know I need a protected battery for the SVD, does it have to be IMR? High Drain? I don't understand all those definitions.
Can I use this?

First of all, did you get an owners manual? The best thing to do would be to use whatever the manufacturer recommends.

To my knowledge, all the variable voltage/wattage PV's prefer the high drain, safer chemistry batteries designated as "IMR" batteries. There is no such thing as a protected IMR.

Protected batteries are Li-Lion batteries that use a simple protective fuse on the positive pole, thus they are slightly longer than an IMR. IMR's do not require protection because of their safer chemistry. The processor-controlled PV's have built in protection that will shut the unit down if they sense a dangerous situation.

Some PV's are specific to whether the battery uses a flat top or a button top. I'm not familiar with either of the devices personally that you mentioned.
