Battery spacer?

[Sorrid]

Mike do we need to go find those little magnetic battery spacers for these 14430 batteries? I don't think these batteries are going to work in the Infinity without them. I thought I saw you mention them someplace but I don't remember where.

I charged up a pair(they came off at 4.2v) but they won't fire the ∞ so I'm assuming that the batteries are not making contact.

No you do not need the spacers , PM me about it not firing , I think we have a compatibility problem with our STOCK 510 connector with some cartoz ???

Ok the batteries are making good contact with each other out of the tube(dmm verified). The spring wasn't applying enough force to make the batteries make good contact with the Infinity so I gave the spring a good stretch and all is well and working fine now. Sorry I didn't think of doing that first Mike.

No problem ! you got it sorted out so that is what matters !

MAny times there are simple fixes even though they may appear to be complicated.

Did I miss something? Are the new batteries different?

I think the batteries Mike had to get to hold everyone over until after Chinese New Year are unprotecteds so they are shorter. Seems I remember Mike saying something about gluing spacers onto them before sending them out with orders. It is still safe since there is protection built into the ∞Infinity.

Mike please correct me if I'm mistaken on my info

Makes me happy I have 4 sets. Oh wait a minute....that means I am responsible for them running out!

I just placed an order tonight for a infinity kit and 3 spare sets of batteries. I'm not real happy finding out afterwards that the batteries will be unprotected. I found a place or two online that sells the 14430, and the picture looks like they are protected, however I don't know how to tell if they are button top or not?

Unlike a lot of mods out there, the Infinity has over current and heat protection built into the unit, the same as you would get from protected batteries. I have no idea if the ones you linked will work but your best bet would be to contact sales@notcigs.com and talk to Mike or Terri

 

[triplec76]

Yeah, I read that as well. However, I feel like that should have been stated somewhere obvious.

I read something about an extension for 14500's? Is that still coming or....?

 

[Bovinia]

We tend to get off topic here Triple, sorry for the confusion. The unprotected batteries are a temporary fill in until Mike can get the original 14430s back in stock after Chinese New year is over and shipments resume

IIR the extension tube is not going to happen. Mike has a new technology that will extend the battery life by 40ish% so that will be what he uses instead of the extension and 14500 batts. He'll be back tomorrow some time to answer questions...and correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[triplec76]

My next logical question then would be if this new technology is backwards compatible with current models? Anyways, I'll have a chat with the Notcig folks tomorrow and get it sorted out. Thanks for the help.
