Icon and batteries go with protected or not?

[ddavis7426]

I saw on a thread on the PSmoker forum stating that AW14500 batteries can be used in the Icon-is this true? Are they protected or not protected batts?


*Are these the same batteries sold on the PS site? The PS site states these batts DO NOT
work in the ICON. So, do they or do they not work with the Icon?

*Is there a full kit price to order these protected batts since they may be slightly more?

I am confused.

*Whats the difference in IMR AW 14500 600 mAH (Red), and AW 14500 black, and AW P 14500 etc etc.
Is there a BR-549 Junior Samples batt too?


*Can someone list the batteries and chargers that can be used with the Icon.
* Is each one protected or unprotected? What are the advantages of each?
*Can the multicharger on the Icon site be used with any of the other batteries that can be used in the Icon? *Which ones specifically?

I am really more interested in the protected batteries more than the unprotected batts at this point working with the Icon.
I saw a thread by Steve that stated some type of protected batt worked if you removed the washers, but still confused, as it stated the batteries dont work with the Icon on the PS website .

Sorry, I guess am just used to Energizers.

Is the Icon vented or unvented?

I've had an Icon now for a couple months ago (full kit) - I picked up some extra Trustfire 14500's/ 900mah - they work just fine, also got a couple high drain 14500's(red)-they work too.
the charger also charges my 10440's for a Precise
and I don't see any vent holes so I assume it's not vented...
