Can I use a regular rechargable batter with a box mod?

I just got this mod
2xAA Box Mod with slow change LED and red horn switch
I just got it today. I put in a rechargeable AA battery and its not working. Do I have to use the kind they have on the site?

I'd check the voltage on the battery to see what it puts out. If it's 1.5v or so it probably won't have the voltage to heat up the atty which should be running at better than 3v. One of the main reasons to go with a mod is that it'll run at 3.7v with the batteries it's designed for. I've got two of those Madvapes boxmods and they're great little performers. The 900 mah 14500 batt's are cheap too at $4.29 each. I'd suggest you pick up a couple of them and a charger.

Pretty sure a AA and a 14500 are the same size. An AA battery just runs 1.5 volts instead of 3.7v like the 14500. Don't know anything about the mod you mentioned but you might look to see if you are supposed to be using AAs or a 14500.

It requires 14500 3.7 volt Li-ion batts , please read the manual ! J/K !

So I'm guessing I cant use the charger for my AA rechargeable batteries either?

Pretty sure you can't. I got a WF-188 charger for 3.2-3.7V and 300/600 mAh. Something like that might work for your batteries, but IDK. I don't like this charger. I wish I spent more on a more expensive one. It won't always recognize the batteries. You have to fiddle with it to get it to go.

BOOOOOOM! (short version if you mix and match NiMH and Lithium batteries and chargers)
