There is so much terminology. Its like every supplier only speaks in nerd speak (No offense, I call nerd speak when they don't explain terms to noons and assumes everybody knows what they are talking about).

Flat top, button top, protected, unprotected, high drain, low drain, different brands, batteries the same size but different mahs, Jesus!!!!!!

All I want is a nice reliable battery for my new Ikkoin SVD.

no problem, I defer to your experience. :)

Im not saying quality batteries can not be had from Amazon just something to keep in mind when ordering.

EDIT: Im sure some of the sellers will have reviews if you stick with the ones with good reviews Im sure all would be well.

Any of these 3 batterys will work in your SVD the charger is a very good one for the price
Id suggest you get 2 18350 and 1 18650 you can add omre as you like and find out what your vaping needs are.

RTD is a trusted Battery supplier

I means lithium-ion
M manganese
R rechargeable
These batteries have no protection circuit. They rely on a safer chemistry for stability. They are high drain which means they have basically more power available on short notice. Or high out put currents.

mAh is milli amp hours how long it will last.

EDIT your battery is at full charge with 4.2V and ready to recharge at about 3.2V and should never be discharged below 2.5V

But your mod wont drain them that low it has protection built in and that charger shuts off when the battery reaches full charge.

(Lithium)-ion Manganese Rechargeable. Simply put, a second generation, safer, lithium battery chemistry.

Don't forget to use code ECF5 to get the 5% discount.

RTD Vapor doesn't do/sell a lot. But what they do they do very well.

IMR batteries are made using a "safer" chemistry than regular Li-Ion batteries. They can handle higher current and resist thermal buildup moreso than batts using traditional chemistry. Basically, they're not as dangerous (but NO battery is without some inherent danger, so always treat any battery with care and respect). If overdrawn, they will vent instead of popping or exploding. Ideally, you still don't want to melt one down, though.

And RTD rules. Fantastic vendor to deal with, always.

Does this charger work for 18350 batteries? It's not listed in the link. If it doesn't, what's a good charger for 18350 batteries?

Yes it dose but I would buy it from RTD Vapors If I were you. This charger is very cloned. You just never know who your getting it from threw Amazon. If its a cheap copy do you really want to take a chance to lose your batteries for a few dollars?

Charging your batteries is when they are most venerable to mishaps. RTD has been a trusted source for batteries and battery related stuff fore quite some time now.
