Charging 26650 battery.

[TonyAlonG]

Hi, I am new to vaping and i wanted to know just a simple thing. I have a 26650 7200maH 3.7V battery. My charger has two voltage options: 3.0 and 4.2. What would be the best voltage to charge at?
Many thanks.

4.2 volts is the standard charge voltage for "3.7" volt batteries...

Listen to the Bunny... 18350, 18650, 26650... pretty much ALL of the batteries that we use for vaping are "3.7V" batteries... 3.7 is the "nominal" voltage. Charge them on 4.2, and if you put a volt meter on the batter "fresh off the charger" it should read very close to 4.2V

The ultra & trust fire 7200mah batteries are actually 3300 - 3500 mah,( tested) the protected variety have a 6.8a pcb which is kinda odd considering depending on which individual cell you test they range from 3.5a CDR to 7.5a CDR.

Good battery for flashlights, I wouldn't use them for any vaping purpose at all, that goes for any "xxxfire"battery of any size or mah.

I believe 3.0V is for RCR123A cells.
