Did I Get The Wrong Batteries?

My Saber Touch (Penny Vein!) is on order and I'm anxiously awaiting it's arrival. Since this is my first mod I wanted to be sure to have the batteries and everything ready to go when it gets here. With all of the battery horror stories I keep hearing I'm a little paranoid...

I'm pretty sure that I'm OK on the 3.7v batteries (Protected 18650 Battery, 3000 mah) and the charger I got for them (UtraFire WF-188).

I'm not so certain that I got the correct 3.0v batteries though; COV LiFePo4 CR123A 3.0v 500mAh (and no indication that they are protected). Of the four I ordered, three are marked 3.0v and one is marked 3.2v.

I assume that I should not use one 3.2 and one 3.0 together, is that right?

Can I SAFELY charge these with the WF-188 even though they are 3.0v batteries ? (on the 3.2v/300mA setting?)

Just looking for a little assurance that I'm not going to blow my face off or burn the house down. Thanks for any help!

500mAh batts are rated too low!

Try these batteries...
RCR123a 3.0v 900mAh
You will also need another type of charger...
Charger for RCR123a 3.0v 900mAh
Don't use CR2123a
And please always use PROTECTED Batteries!
All the info on batteries to use are on my site.

And here's some good advise for all... with brand new batts, charge them one at a time for the first few times,
And always use them in pairs together.
