Hi all ,i have been given a coolfire iv plus with the internal battery removed as it went faulty...can i get a new battery or has anyone wired in an 18650 ?

What does the battery you pulled out look like? It appears from the tiny photo of your avatar that there's some sort of battery sled in there.

My avatar is an old plato i modified to take 510 connection tanks ...i don't have any pics of the old lipo battery from the coolfire..

It looks like a LiPo pack. (3.7V, 3300mAh, max discharge unknown!)

I wouldn't even try unless you know someone knowledgable who can advise from experience.
Look at it this way, for the value of the mod, the hassle and price of getting the correct pack.
You then have to install it correctly.
At the end of that, it has to be 100% safe.

Be easier and safer to just get a mod that takes 18650's and know that batteries are easily sourced and replaced.

Nice job on modifying the Plato. The 510 threw me. Yeah that is a Lipo pack and looking for one the same size might not be worth the effort. Personally, I go with just replacing the mod. Trying to cut the Lipo plug and adding additional wiring, then soldering on to the positive and negative ends of an 18650 is an awful lot of trouble to go through to salvage that mod.

thanks @Eskie ,enjoyed modding the plato...i have plenty of mods ,if i could have fixed the coolfire cheaply i would have tried,i hate throwing stuff out ,soldering etc is not a problem for me i have worked in electronics for years..but mod isn't expensive so i may just bin it ..
