E-Cigar batteries?

[Tom Lauten]

Does anyone know where I can get non silly-priced replacement batteries for the RN4062? Are these ones compatable do you think...if so, they could use the extra MAH

DealExtreme: $4.22 LC 3.6V/3.7V 17650/17670 1800mAh Lithium Rechargeable Battery

you want the 10440 size not the 17650

 

[Tom Lauten]

Cool...well those are quite a bit cheaper than the Ryuan ones...so long as they don't burn out, die or generally explode!

If U Don't Want To Want 2 Weeks for DX, Janty & Lighthound (US) has Them.

Batt is 10440

Yes batteries are ICR10440
and I can confirm that this model from dealextreme works perfect in my e-cigar:
Ultra Fire 10440 3.6V 500mAh 2Pack for $4.32 /the blue ones in color/
Cheers!

I forgot to mention.
The strange is that DX state to 500mAh which i think is not so true... maybe something around 350-400mAh is correct value. And most interesting is that batteries which i received has sign not 500mAh, but 600mAh ... eh, those Chinese guys....
But everything is OK. Batteries are working OK!

I have sad news about these batteries from DX. I have 8 of these little blue 10440 DX batteries from many months back. Only one died so far, and the rest are still OK with varying amounts of capacity, ie usable.

I just ordered 4 more a few weeks ago. FYI - they have changed a bit in appearance. They now have little holes around the (+) terminal. They are ALL wrecked already... they appear to charge up, but they drop immediately to 3v and below, within a second or two when you put a load on them. No good for vaping anymore. Like vaping with dead batteries.

I didn't keep track, but I would guess they were charged and used maybe 6 times each.

(The new ones were tested with a Triton battery analyzer to verify they are shot)

Sad. I need a new source of cheap 10440's now.

Yes, I can confirm that these batteries has a three little holes around (plus) terminal ... I was charge it only one-two times and everything seems to be OK.

If You are right about them, please let me know if You find new source for realiable and cheap 10440!!!!

Thank You for information!
Cheers!

I bought those Batteries the blue ones something or other fire from battery junction and they sucked. I may have had a bad Charger but they showed as charged on the one bought from Battery Junction and when I put them on my regular charger they showed as uncharged.

Either way couldn't get any life from them.

 

[gashin]

Yeah they SUCK. I'm trying to find a japanese source...

I purchased 4 of these a few months back from DX and they only lasted a couple of charges as well. These all had only 2 holes around the positive terminal and were slightly shorter in length than the OEM ones. I re-ordered from DX a couple months ago 4 more and the Ultrafire charger that was compatible. I was hoping that the first 4 that I received were just bad or that the OEM charger was broken. The new ones have performed as well as the original ones that came with the 4062. The second batch has 3 holes at the positive terminal side. The good 3 hole ones are the exact size of the OEM batteries.

There's definitely some quality control issues, or some bad batches of these batteries out there. Did anyone else notice if they had 2 or 3 holes on the bad batteries?

The original DX 10440's I got had no holes at all, and were a bit shorter than OEM. Most of those are still usable.

The newer ones I got have 3 holes, and the same size as OEM. They really suck.

After I made myself DIY power supply:

And I have to agree that most of 10440 suck, I start thinking about some kind of big portable pack of batteries...

So what You think about three rechargable NimH 1.5V / 2600 mAh instead one 3.7V lithium?
It will be bigger than Would ofcourse, but it will be mobile. BUT would it will work?
Thank You.
Cheers!
