Batteries?

[epesos]

I know this can all be found somewhere on this huge forum, so sorry, I worked late and am tired - just got the info from focalprice that I'm not getting batteries for my silverbullet for 2 weeks (they screwed up receiving payment). So - I know I can find 2 3.0v non-rechargeable batteries somewhere by not ordering them online. Where? And what are they called again?
Question 2 - can I get online (or off) the normal 3.7v battery from a US supplier? If so, where?

Thanks to anyone answering my first question here, I've read the answer and I know it is here, but I forgot, and don't have time to search. And I haven't see the answer to #2, maybe it is out there.

And thanks for the silver bullet, also, so quick - but I want to use it! It looks and feels so nice!

#1 You're looking for rechargeable CR123's. Some list them as RCR123's or RCR123A's

You can also grab some CR123's non rechargeable that'll work in the machine. Just can't recharge. I've bought them when I was traveling and in a pinch. They'll last a day or so depending on how much you vape.

#2 I recieve everything from this supplier quick!

Run these in a few of my PV's. Never had a probelm with any of them.
Popped a few safety caps on a few overseas ordered pieces.

Battery junction is a pretty good supplier. usually get my orders in two days from placing my order.

I'm a little worried about the cr123a batteries I have since I believe they arent protected.

Tenergy LI-ION 900 Mah 3.0v 4 pack with charger. The charger I believe is fine since it has overcharge protection, but I'm worried about discharging them too much.

Anyone else have these batteries and have input on them?

The actual package that they came in 4 batts plus charger says to "fully" discharge the batteries 3-5 times before they begin to hold full charge.

I have those exact batteries and charger.
I also have these that came standard (I believe) with my PV.

Not had any problems out of either one. Can't really tell the diffence in the 750's vs the 900's. Not in the habit of timing how long one last vs the other.

They both work just fine....

thanks brock. I guess I'll keep fully discharging them

Without a meter or led indicator on the units, I'll just be vaping along and think I need juice. Hmmmm juice is full; must be the battery/ies...

So I guess I'm discharging them all the way. Never thought about using a volt meter to see what the standing voltage is at that point. Might have to check that out ....

Most of the high end MOD PV's dont even have a LED. but on a lot of things I have (Mostly RC stuff that run LIPO's) the led blinks at a certain voltage indicating t you that it's time to change batts.
With Mosfets and chips getting smaller everyday, it won't be long until I'd expect to see something like that here. Cisco and Nuck are playing with MOSFET Voltage Regulators on MODs now. Time will tell....
