Battery Question

[Mateo the Great]

Hello Vapers,


I had a question as to how many different types of batteries are used for devices?


I am only aware of the 18650 and the 18350 battery. Is there another battery that I am unaware of?


Thank you for your help!

Does anyone have a link that I could click on that would tell me the difference between the batteries?

I am still pretty new to vaping and I am looking to take the step up to an APV but I would like to educate myself on the different Batteries. I am fully aware that Batteries can be dangerous if not handled properly. Just looking to get as much info on each of the batteries that I can get.

Thank you all for your awesome and kind responses.

Vape On!

Generally what we use are 18350, 18490(18500), and 18650.

The "18" is the diameter of the battery in mm.

The "350," "490/500," and "650" is the height of the battery in mm.

There are links to answer a lot of the questions you may have in this thread:

Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or protected ICR?

Deeper Understanding of Mod Batteries

There are three types of Lithium batteries that we use in vaping: ICR, IMR, and hybrids.

• ICR - These are the protected Li-Ion batteries. They typically have a larger mAh rating for long battery time, but because of their higher resistance they are not high drain. ICR batteries generally have a 3 - 4 amp limit. Falling out of favor because of their volatile battery chemistry and for lacking high drain capability.
  
  
• IMR - These are unprotected, safe-chemistry, high-drain batteries with higher amp limits for higher power devices, but don't have the extended battery time of an ICR battery. Can have amp limits of 10 - 26. Presently recommended over ICR batteries for their safer chemistry. Used in regulated (VV/VW mods), mechanical mods using a Kick, and all mods with a rebuildable atomizer.
  
  
• hybrid - These have a mixed chemistry of both the ICR and IMR batteries. They generally have the better properties of both ICR and IMR - long battery time, safe chemistry, and most are high-drain. Can have amp limits 10 - 35. Used in regulated (VV/VW mods), mechanical mods using a Kick, and all mods with a rebuildable atomizer.

MAH is battery specification which determines a battery's capacity or how long it will last on a charge. Higher is better.


There is no single perfect battery suitable for all applications; choose your batteries carefully for the applications that you will use them.

Great responses.

Thank you!

Mateo,

There are also several APV's that have internal batteries, such as the Innoken V3.0 and MVP. You can get into pretty advanced vaping (not sub-ohm!) very nicely with these, without having to worry about battery specifics.

Yea I currently have the MVP 2.0, I just got the Cool Fire 2 and want to get as much info on the batteries before I just into this. The Cool Fire is my first mod that takes a battery.

Please don't cross post the same question across ECF. You originally posted in the proper forum: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/batteries-chargers/523325-battery-question.html
