Battery marriage...needed or not? Testing starts soon.

[Jim_ MDP]

I have batteries married in 2's and 3's, and a bunch of singles. It would be nice to be able to pick from a large lot instead of married sets and unmarried sets, but it's not a big deal. I mostly use one mad at a time.

I could see, and appreciate, being able to just group them by close order of cycles used.

With perhaps a seperate group for ones that have been... "riden hard".
With those kept under even closer watch, and retired early or cycled to another "light draw usage" group.

Yes, I can see the benefit of keeping batteries separated in snap top battery boxes according the purchase date. I still own some old AW 2000mah 18650s i used with my Provari V2 that are several years old.

For me, it's about battery life since I typically vape MTL around 10W. Still, dendrite formation can arbitrarily take down a battery due to age as well as vaping style. The more it's used the more the dendrites grow.

Hey Mooch,

Are you still running this test?

Hey Mooch,

Are you still running this test?

Testing done, reviewing over 60 pages of data, don't know when results will be posted.

How about a hint as to which direction it's leaning?

So the only way to test this would to wait for something catastrophic to happen?

Yeah, Mooch runnin the tests in a controlled safe environment takes all the fun outta it!

Yeah... I've never heard @Mooch say, "Hold my beer. Hey y'all, watch THIS!"

I sure hope he finishes his analysis soon. Suspense is killing me (deftly swinging back on topic).

Perhaps.

Then again, we never get to see the "unedited" stuff, either. For all we know, this is a picture of Mooch's back yard.

Any news on this @Mooch ? I look forward to the results, and thanks for all you do for us.

It will be good for a lot of people if unmarried batteries can be used safely. I have lots of batteries, but realise the costs add up quickly when buying more and more batteries.

Any updates will be posted.
