Battery suggestions for a kicked Silver Bullet.

[$andman]

I could use some advice on the best batteries for a Kicked Silver Bullet.

With the room the kick takes up I would either need the 18500 size or an extension and the 18650 size. I could use recommendations for what to get for each option and where to get it. Also, where does one get an extension for the SB? Thanks.

They have them in stock here.Silver Bullet - Kick Sleeve

I don't own an SB, but I heard it's best to get the chrome one because there's no powder coat on it. Evolv also recommends only using IMR batteries with the Kick. I like the CGR18650CH Panasonics best. New! Panasonic CGR18650CH With Top Button, 2250mAh IMR High Drain 18650 Battery Cell-Made in Japan

That's great, I appreciate the advice!

I purchased the Black Coated SB already. It would be cool if the extension matched. Are you saying the black ext. is no good?

I still have to buy the Kick. It looks like NHaler sells the same battery:

If I didn't buy the extension. Would the 18500 batteries offered by NHaler be any good?

I use AW IMR 18650's in mine (already had them, and it will be a long time before I need any new ones).
I strongle suggest the sleeve. I have never removed the Kick from the sleeve since I got it because I think most of the problems with the kick are related to removing it every time you replace the battery.

I was wondering about removing the Kick every time I replaced the batteries. Didn't even consider the fact that if you bought a sleeve you could keep it in there. Good advice!

So, if you had to buy new batteries and a charger, what would you get?

 

[tj99959]

I figure there will always be something better right around the corner, but I still like the dust to settle some before I replace what I already have. Panasonic is known for making good products tho'.
I can say for a fact that AW batteries are good, I can't say that about the new Panasonic battery because I have never had one.

So do you think these would be good:

IMR HYBRID 18650 3.7V Battery

They are a bit more than other vendors, but I have to buy the kick from them anyway, so with shipping it will probably be cheaper.

The link I put in is for the same battery, but cheaper and free shipping.
