New Style Batteries

[PeteMcArthur]

Just got a couple of new pen style batteries, that 3 second cut off is a real pain. I seldom got bothered with the 5 second cut out but 3 seconds is too short.
I suspect they have done this to improve battery longevity but it is awkward. At least they don't seem to turn themselves on.

where'd you get them from pete ? was it a uk supplier..

 

[PeteMcArthur]

No, it was from BesteCig.com. I'm not sure if they have hit the UK suppliers yet but they will do

i have whole batch of new 901 batteries and atomizers coming from HG.. i can give them a test and see what they go like..

they are the latest so called electromagnetic high tech three second cut off ones..

a pic of the new batteries..

the little pieces on the far right are the new activation switches.. the two at the top have been flashing away for the last twenty four hours..

the design is different.. and when we tipped a hundred onto the bench the display of flashing led lights was quite impressive... he he he

i havnt got around to testing one for real yet but i will do before they all get cut up..

What a waste
Wish i knew something those parts could be used for.

Trog, you really ought to arrange some sort of recycling program.

we think they might be useful to people who make tiny sub miniature RC airplanes or who need very small lithium cells for some other reason.. we wont bin them..

one cell would power an indoor model airplane flight pack nicely.. mind u from a planet saving point of view they are going to a good a cause.. he he
