True, but as I only use 1 18650 at a time I should have plenty of time for it to charge.Great! How many hours for the full charge? Don't be surprised if it takes a little longer next time you charge the 18650s. Your pv will probably run the voltage down lower than what you started with today.
this is why I bought a pila charger that TR-001 I had was always running the pila charges 18650 in about 1 1/2 - 2 hours and 14500s and 18490s in about an hour
Do the protected 18650's fit into the pila better then the TR-001. I need to put a screwdriver under the battery to get it out it is such a tight fit.this is why I bought a pila charger that TR-001 I had was always running the pila charges 18650 in about 1 1/2 - 2 hours and 14500s and 18490s in about an hour
Not good. You are forcing a protected 18650 battery into the TR-001. I faced the same issue with the protected 14650 and the TR-001 and didn't go there. Don't put abnornal physical stress on an Li-ion battery.Do the protected 18650's fit into the pila better then the TR-001.

Rather than cramming a battery that is too long to fit the TR-001 my solution was to cluster YL-103A chargers. They fit my protected 14650s tight, but without forcing. I charge up to six 14650s at once. I charge batteries for the E-Power 14650 once a week.
I've read that post- all 17 pages, and the other one that burned some guys leg. And seen the pics of all the battery failures (cell phones, lap tops, RCcars, etc...) - And the only reason I did was to avoid the type of explosion that could happen.Don't trust a non-protected battery, even a AW. But, it's your hands and your face. Do as you will.

better check that post again. they have crossed out the "unprotected cell". the fact is, even protected batteries fail and fail dramatically. its a risk you take anytime you use any Li-ion battery.Don't trust a non-protected battery, even a AW. But, it's your hands and your face. Do as you will.

hate to brake it to you but there is nothing special about AW batteries. they are made in the same factory as many other Li-ION batteries. the only difference is the wrapping. i have been in the electronics world including flashlights for many years and have done the research.I've read that post- all 17 pages, and the other one that burned some guys leg.

That said- the IMR battery will VENT - like gunpowder in a pile- Flash! but not "POP!" unless it's in an "enclosed mod" (AKA- a pipe bomb!) then it could explode!
Please post any picture of an IMR exploding! -you can't -the link above was pictures of the FIRE inside that persons case, in a purse or in a jacket (can't remember, because I've read three weeks of this ....!)
So YES- it may fail, but it will not explode. Safest batteries are the store bought (AA's and such) so knock yourself out with those badboys!
Oh, you want to VAPE... AW's are the safest, most popular, and widely used- from what the veterans and enthusiasts have tested, posted, video'd, and blogged about...
Don't believe me?
Type in "battery compare failures" and read for 3 weeks, then come back and talk to me. =)

AW has good PR. LOL. they are decent batteries but the fact is, there are a LOT of different branded batteries that come from the same factory off the same production line. there are not that many actual battery manufacturers.Oh, then you are a better expert at them than I.
I just go by what I've read- I have no real world experience with them, so take what I say with a lot of salt...
