Can anyone confirm that these are actually protected 10440s?

[akingsley9000]

I have seen alot of discussion as to whether some of these batteries are in fact protected or just listed as such. If anyone can confirm that these are protected, it would be greatly appreciated.

I ordered some that looked just like that from a trusted vendor and when they got here they are definitely not protected. Now I only buy mine from AltSmoke.com because I know for sure they're protected. Mine from AltSmoke are wrapped in blue, not grey.

 

[akingsley9000]

Hummm ok. I looked at the ones at Altsmoke.com - some sites say they are protected some they aren't.

ETA: The ones at Altsmoke are also 14500 I was told the mod needs 10440... I'm new to the moding department so I don't know what the difference is between these at first glance.

 

[Kargonet]

Sorry, didn't realize that AltSmoke didn't have the 10440.

Try these instead: TrustFire 10440 protected 600mAh 3.7v lithium-ion rechargeable battery

Ok these appear to be the exact same ones I was looking at but they are cheaper through the site I found them on. Thank you for your help!

Yes, I am reasonably sure they are protected. The indent on the negative side tends to be the giveaway. That is actually where the protection PCB is. Without holding them in my hand I can't be 100% sure, but I am about 85%.

Don't buy from BestOffer, folks have had trouble with them in the past. What ever you buy you want it to be clearly identified.

With the TrustFires it seems that the LC10440's are unprotected and the TR10440's are the protected versions.

I was told the mod needs 10440

What is this 'mod'. Many of the commercial/Chinese PV's use unprotected (the mod itself has a protection circuit), note protected versions are longer so there may be fit issues.

Its a 808 /901 mini box mod. I got it from a member here on PIF. Maybe I'll get clarification from him on whether or not I can use the protected batts.

If a home-brew device use protected.

Here is a great site that has them. They cost a bit more but the shipping is fast and I've never had an issue with them. Yes they are protected!

Yes they are protected. I get mine here. TrustFire 10440 protected 600mAh 3.7v lithium-ion rechargeable battery They are a little more expensive than what you posted, but it's been my experience that you just can't go wrong when ordering from Rob.

mad vapes has them, they are indeed protected, I've played with them and at least short circuit protection is working lol. I ordered last monday and got them thursday. They aren't really 600mah, more like 350ish but all 10440s are around there, this is why madvapes lists them as 350 but when you get them they say 600 on the side.

Agree with all the stuff willyb said except LC stands for Lithium Cobalt (still li-ion but different chemicals used) on the ultrafire and trustfire batteries and the protection circuit is specific to the battery and *usually* specified on the battery label but not always..

Madvapes carries 10440 protected Ultrafires which are superior to the Trustfires. Currently they are the same gray color, which may explain why Madvapes accidentally gave me Trustfires instead of Ultrafires in my last shipment. So, I sent them back.

The general consensus on DE and many other places is that trustfire are more reliable than ultrafire. Is this a subjective statement or do you have evidence to back up your statement? I have many of each and personally I find trustfire more reliable.

The flashlight fanatics at CPF also prefer the Trustfires.
