Batteries ~

What's the difference between protected & unprotected batteries?

The IMR & AW etc etc ..

 

[glauserjg]

IMR has a safer chemistry with claims that no protection is necessary. AW is a brand name that makes batteries you can get either IMR or protected cells in this brand name. My suggestion and advice is to either use imr battteries or protected ones just not lithium cells without protection

Protected batteries have a very small circuit inside of them that shuts them off in the event that they are over-charged, over-discharged, overheated or short-circuited. Because of this, the unprotected batteries are needed in vv mods so they can be used at high voltage. If I remember correctly, the protection is at the peak voltage of 4.2v. VV mods go up to 6.0v.

I wouldn't say that is totally true, I've pushed a protected battery at 6 volts with no issues for hours on end
