Battery question

Whats difference between limn and li-ion?

is sony vtc5 2600 mah built with protection, to prevent overcharging and discharging ?

And does it have short circuit protection ?

thanks

the difference between li-mn and li-ion lies in the battery chemistry.

no, VTC5s and similar cells do not have protection. they do however use safer chemistry than cells *with* protection.

no short circuit protection. you can buy a fuse for your mod (or use a regulated mod) if youre still worried about shorting after you have learned how to properly use high power cells.

its worth reading up on.

also- by reading up, youll likely learn a few tips on how to properly use your cell phone battery, lap top battery, AAA, AA, 9V, etc batteries. the battery university website has a comprehensive guide.

IMR (lithium manganese chemistry) vs ICR (lithium cobalt chemistry).

IMR batteries are "safe chemistry" batteries, which are unprotected (they don't need it) and high drain (higher amp output capability). These are now recommended over ICR batteries.

AW IMR battery

ICR batteries use a volatile (flamable) chemistry which require the use of a built-in protective circuit to even be considered safe to use in applications. They are low drain (low amp output) best suited for low drain applications like flashlights or radios. Since the introduction of IMR and IMR/hybrid batteries, ICR batteries are considered to be obsolete for mod use.

AW protected ICR battery

IMR/hybrid batteries use a combination of IMR & ICR chemistry to attain the best attributes of IMR's & ICR's. Longer mAh battery capacity, high drain capability (higher amps), and safe-chemistry.

Sony VTC and Panasonic NCR IMR/hybrid batteries
