I just 2 of the same type batteries today only mine are 2900mAh. I was able to use one while the other one charged.
What are you waiting for.
You've got a brand new REO just sitting there.
Start vaping already.
The initial charge is usually about 80 percent.

I think he's waiting for someone to wave a green flag. GET TO vaping YOUR HEAD OFF ALREADY!!! Mods don't vape themselves, you know.
And I'm sure they'll be worth every penny! I really love all of the other AW batteries that I have. They put the Ultrafires that came with my Indulgence to SHAME!
I have to agree though aw's offer total confidence in performance and peace of mind. I have a few aw 2900s as well. Next will be some redilast. They are pretty much the same price too.
They are supposed to be the same battery except with different protection circuit boards.
Both made in Korea and Japan.
All the testing results I've seen has them about dead even.
Finally AW has a little competition, since about 6 years now.
Too bad they are both the same price though.
A little price war between Redilast and AW would be nice.

it would be nice to convince wonderlite (the paypal guy from cpf)to become a vendor here so we could get the aw's directly. He seemed suprised they were such a hot item and so I pointed out the word was out on the e cig forum.
No...you don't. Check out Battery University. The 8 hour initial charge is a throw back to the days prior to Li-ion batteries. BU is a great source for info on all batteries.
ok next question, I got a charger from lighthound with the batts. the charger is an ultrafire rapid charger for 3.2/3.7V Lithium battery. There is a switch on the side of the charger that switches from 300mA to 650mA. These batts are 2200mA. Will these batts work in the charger. Or did I screw up.
btw I didn't know the Reo was signature req'd. no one was home. On my way to pick it up from the post office now. This is the reason I am not vaping this second
Absolutely! It will work with a large variety of batteries. The switchs controls the output to allow charging of batteries that have lower capacity and/or require a slower charge pace like 3.2 volt batts. I also have the Ultrafire WF-188 which i think is the model you probably have. It's a great charger for the money until you get into the higher end professional chargers. Use the 3.7v option for 3.7v batts and the 650mA setting for batters rated 650mAh OR Higher.

Oh wow that would be awesome
Yah sorry I thought it was mentioned in the big thread, but Rob does that for security sake. There was an incident prior that caused him to make sig request standard when receiving your REO

I mentioned it to AW on cpf who seems to be possibly the manufacturer of AW batts or at least a major vendor (listed as in Hong Kong) about starting a direct sales thread here as well. Really would like to be able to get those batts at great prices.
The 650mA setting will be fine with the 18650 2200mAh batteries.
That will charge at less than 1/3 C, a Pila charger uses ~600mA and it is considered a slow charger.
The 300mA setting is for smaller, low capacity batteries, it will just take twice as long to chargre your 18650s.
