Help new e-power 18650 battery dirrection

[midnightmoonlight]

I just got a new version of the e-power 18650 but it didnt come with the right dirrections. I read if you put the batteries in wrong it will fry the switch but that may be on the old version. The company I got it from has yet to give me any info and has no phone number. Its a reputable vender, recomended here but I just cant wait to try my new PV. If some has gotten one of these and can post a pic from the dirrections or knows for sure which way they go that would be great. Also maybe other info I may need to know about the new 18650.

Thanks

No idea but hopefully someone can tell you for sure.

Usualy the bottom of the battery goes on the spring.Does your e-power have a spring?

I'm sorry I can't post a link but if you do a search in YouTube using "e-power" you'll find a couple vids with the battery explanation. On my charger, the + is at the top by the light (it's difficult to see the + on the charger)

Ego E-Power ComboHope this link helps. Like Gigilex said.negative towards spring.

Yep, negative side towards spring. There should be a slight bump on the positive side. That goes towards the switch.
Just drop a charged battery into the tube and screw on the switch. It should blink when this happens. Also blinks like that when the battery needs recharging.

The charger isnt the problem the problem is the PV doesnt have a + or - on it and the battery is basically flat on both sides

There should be some markings on the battery itself.
Might be faint but they should be there.

It would still be negative side of battery towards spring.

...the button/nipple on the batt goes in first...............

Which 18650 version do you have? Can you post a link?

Bc theirs actually 2 18650 versions out now. One is like the regular E-Powers with a removable switch and the other is an eGo- E-Power where the switch is part of the unit and the bottom screws off and the battery is inserted from the bottom

 

[mynameisrob]

If it has a screw off switch, then the nipple-side would be up and you put negative side in first.

If its an eGo-E-Power with the screw off bottom, Im pretty sure the nipple-side would go in first. Since the bottom cap has the spring. I could be wrong on that one though.

Posting a link would really help

Either way the negative side of the battery goes towards the spring.
The positive side of the battery goes towards the switch.

 

[mynameisrob]

Yeah stephpd is correct. Regardless of which one you have the + side will be toward the switch and - side toward the spring

+ on the battery up. - down

Yeah stephpd is correct. Regardless of which one you have the + side will be toward the switch and - side toward the spring

yep, you posted while I was looking at a battery

It works that way for all cylindrical shaped batteries.
AAA, AA, C, D.
Alkaline, or rechargeable.

Negative side always goes towards the spring.
And all batteries should be marked.
Or the flat side is the negative side.
Positive side usually has a bump.



(I just know there's some freak system out there that breaks these rules.)
