From Little Chuck to Chuck

As long as we're asking battery questions here...
The Little Chuck can take either a 16340 or a 18650. These are very similar in width (16-18mm) but the 18650 is about 30mm longer than the 16340.
How does this work?
Little Chuck can use a 16340 or 18350. The Chuck uses the 18650.
I don't want hijack, but I have a quick question. I have been using my Chuck at 3.7 and love the performance, but I would like to have a smaller mod for out on the town. I have used the 16340 batts and I don't care for the performance of them. Is the 18350 battery performance significantly better than the 16340?
I've noticed it to be better...but significantly better???...I won't go to bat that far for them...But I did notice an improvement from the 16 to the 18...
You can buy them for ~$6 bucks a pop...pick em up and give em a try...they charge in the same charger as my 16340...so i only needed the batteries...

2 RCR123A 3.0V 750mAh Rechargeable LiFePO4 Li-Ion Batteries with AC/DC Smart Charger
And I just want to confirm...
I DO NOT need to get a battery sleeve...
Is that correct...If not please let me know so I can order it and have it delivered with the chuck...

No, you do not need a battery sleeve.
Also, I was just going to order the same batts you did - but I found this deal for 6 batts with chager. (Incase you didn't actually hit "Pay" yet) LOL
4 additional batts for only $10 more.
Thanks for the info brouxman. I would recommend picking up extra RCR123a batteries like Lalesa suggested. Because the current draw exceeds the designed limits for these batteries, I have noticed that after a couple months their performance dips noticeably.
I've been using Poeia as my web name for about a decade and you are only the 3 person to figure that out.
I have a 17 year old Mitred Conure (parrot) named Onomatopoeia -- Poeia for short. She said I can pretend to be her while I'm on the Interwebs.
ETA: And I just realized that I'm definitely getting a Little Chuck -- in about a month. I've been mod-shopping and, while I don't like the button on the Chuck, I love, love, love the personalization. And then I came across a picture I want to use:
So, as of yesterday I've been firmly on the fence between the Little Chuck and a VP2. But I just realized that Jeff uses Amazon checkout. I have an Amazon Visa card. Every time I spend $2,500 I get a $25 Amazon gift card. I already have one credited to my Amazon account and when they send me my bill next week I'll have enough for a second one.
You know what this means ==> FREE CHUCK!
Okay. I probably won't be able to wait that long. But using rewards points for $50 of it... WOOT!

Onomotapoeia is one of my favorite words to say over and over in rapid succession... also Ranitidine ... but theres a certain way you have to say it to make it fun.
That image will be a crazy-cool Chuck.
I used to have an African Gray. She had to be put up for adoption, she was horrible posessive of me and violent towards the wife, we raised her from a hatchling.
It was like giving up a child.. one of the toughest decisions we've ever made.
The experts said she had a hormonal issue that some AG's get when they don't breed, and they go a little bonkers.
I love Conures, they are awesome, beautiful birds. I've always loved Sun Conures, Mitred Conures are awesome as well, don't see many of those around iirc.

I also have a Yellow Collar Macaw, Annabella, who is 14. But Poeia is still positive that she is an only bird.
ETA: And, back on topic, the picture (O Jardim by Miro) has the wrong ratio for a Little Chuck but I tried manipulating it and, distorted, it looks almost exactly the same. That's the advantage to a surreal picture, I guess.

It's damned creepy how smart they are too. They learn words, and learn to use them in context.
When I was in school, I was living in a trailer house in northern Montana with my brother, and my wife... My grandparents had come to visit and we were all sitting in the living room, and Cleo (the gray) was in her bedroom... yes.. she had her own room.
She is in there muttering, and calling Schatze (our mini-dachshund).. it was her game to call her and then feed her food out of her dish.
So paying no attention we hear:
(whistles) Schatze! Come here!... Schaaaa-tzeeee!
*no response*
(whistles) Schatze! RIGHT HERE!!
*no response and long pause*
SCHATZE!! GET IN HERE YOU **FIRE TRUCK** !
Followed by an awkward moment of silence from the Grandparents. The funny thing is, we do tend to talk like sailors sometimes, but that is one phrase none of us remember uttering.
After that it was only Nicktoons for Cleo when we were out.
Oh yeah.. there was a topic... right?
