Box mod question

[JayTheVapingGuy]

Hey,

I've seen a few of the 3 AA battery box mods... my question is, would it be possible, or feasable to install two 14500 batteries into the box and replace the switch to one that has three positions (off/batt 1/batt 2) so that you can get twice the battery life out of your box?

again, just throwing questions out there so that, when i'm ready to start modding, i know what the hell i'm doing... I'm picking up a classic ego kit (so that i can use my 510 attys and drip tip) so i'll have stuff to play around with (not to mention that i have a mini-ecig that i've been using as a backup for the 510 when the two batteries die out... i hate 510 regular batteries)

If you run the 14500 in parallel it will double the life without having to flip a switch. Parallel will keep the voltage the same but 2X the mah rating.

ok... so parallel is both batteries having separate positive and negative leads as opposed to the positive of one going to the negative of the other?? just clarifying?

 

[Java_Az]

In parallel the batteries are hooked up positive to positive , then the negative to negative. Then you will have one positive and one negative going to the Load. Here is a link to a wiki that explains the difference between parallel and series Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
