Safe chemistry LiMN 3.7V rechargeable battery is now available in 18650 size. These cells can handle high amperage and is safe to use in series / multi-cell applications. Can be charge with any LiIon battery charger with 4.2V output.

Specifications:
Nominal Voltage : 3.7V
Capacity : 1600mAH
Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V
Standard Charge : CC/CV ( max. charging rate 4.5A )
Cycle Life : > 500 cycles
Max. continuous discharge rate : 10C
Caution:
- Do not over-discharge/overcharge
- Recharge empty batteries ( resting voltage ~3.6V ) as soon as possible. Leaving LiIon batteries in discharged state will incur irreversible damage ( capacity / cycle loss )
- Do not short circuit ( will release tremendous current )
- Do not dispose of in fire.
Attention : These IMR cells have much lower internal resistance than regular LiIon 3.7V cells and they may end up with a higher ending voltage when charged in certain chargers ( especially older version WF-139 charger ). Please check the voltage of them right out of the charger to see if they are above 4.20V when fully charged with your charger. Overcharging above 4.25V may shorten life/cycles. Above 4.50V may even pop them or making them leak. DO NOT use the charger if it seems to overcharge IMR cells.

No where do I see anything about protective circuitry and looking at the battery I believe there is not any.

Thanks Ron

These....are not protected. NOT protected. Sites that list them as protected are highly questionable listings. W have ECF vendors that list these as Unprotected. Only the AW 18650 is protected. Not AW IMR 18650.


AW IMR18650 3.7v 1600mAh Rechargeable BatteryLocation: /Batteries and Chargers/AW IMR18650 3.7v 1600mAh Rechargeable Battery

Product Information


High capacity AW IMR18650 3.7V 1600mAh High Drain Safe Chemistry LiMN Battery.

Regarded as one of the highest quality and safest batteries on the market.

Lithium Manganese rechargeable batteriy chemistry is safer and therefore does not require protection circuits and provides faster discharge rates.

Safe chemistry eliminates the risk of venting with flame or explosion.

These high drain cells offer superior consistency, especially when using Low Resistance atomizers. Will power up your GGTS or other 18650 mods (note these cells are slightly shorter than the AW 18650 2900mah, please consult your mod manufacturer for compatibility)

Specs:

•Nominal Voltage : 3.7V
•Capacity : 1600mAH
•Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V
•Standard Charge : CC/CV ( max. charging rate 4.5A )
•Charging Cycles : > 500 cycles
•Max. continuous discharge rate : 10C
•Operating Discharge Temperature : -10 - 60 Degree Celsius
Note: Avoid overcharging!

Overcharging IMR cells can shorten lifecycle and at extreme cases ruin the cell

I'm thinking the boys in Kandahar could use more of these 3.7v bottomfeeders Ron. I have a juice package I am sending tomorrow or Friday and have asked them how their OldGoat mod is doing. Last I heard, they were fighting over who got to use it next. I' sending lots of cartos/batteries/chargers/more drip tips/ and some leather lanyards.
It's tough duty there and they can be rough on things.

I always, always, always use protected batteries in my box mods. I'd never want to ruin a mod because a mistaken battery purchase.
(when buying batts for my Reo, or this mod, I made sure to get protected. I wouldn't want to ruin the mini because it's so expensive, and I could just picture in my mind, the oldgoat mod blowing up in my face because I used the wrong thing)

Thankfully there are smart people on the forums here that help a girl out when she needs it, and yes, I realize that the mod really wouldn't "blow up in my face", it was just one of my fears.

My old goat mod is still vaping hard core.

I don't think it matters really what battery he used if he had put a protected battery in it the mod would still not have worked properly. I think the point is he feels like and it sounds like he was sent a faulty mod. He said his carto came off his ego and it was working properly on there and those are protected batteries so more than likely it wasn't the carto. The mod may have worked when tested but strange things happen in shipping. Parts get bounced around even with the best of packing something may have gotten out of whack that was loose and just not noticed I mean the best of manufacturers have an occasional faulty item get through quality control.

I am really confused about these batteries now. Are the red AWs protected or not? I've bought a few pairs for use with my mods BECAUSE I thought they were the safest. Am I wrong??

TIA

WARNING: There is no protection circuit on these to control under or over voltage, just an anti explosion vent. Do NOT short Circuit! A Tremendous amount of current will be released.
These are "safe chemistry" cells that will never "vent with flame" or catch fire on their own as they contain little oxygen unlike LiCo cells.

AW IMR cells (Red Label) Unprotected only:

AW IMR14500 $7.00 each the NEW "AA sized" IMR cell

AW IMR 16340 $6.50

AW IMR 18500 $9.00

AW IMR 18650 $10.00

AW IMR 26500 "C sized" cells $15.50

They are the safest but no they aren't protected. They are a different chemistry and therefore do not explode or catch fire when they fail therefore they don't need to be protected. They will not however cut off due to short circuit as they don't have the protection circuit that allows them to do that.

Brian5470,
A faulty battery could sure do the same thing, cuz I know of one that did. But I am glad to hear someone knows what really happened. Have you ever had an atty or carto work just fine on 1 pv and not work just fine on another? I have and so have others.

I've read all that was posted on the Reo forum, and by whom. Sounded like a lynching was going to take place. We have a person who has been making and selling his mods for quite some time and has many -many happy,satisfied customers, and has a great reputation for excellent customer service.
One ECF member comes on and starts basically slamming him and what happens? All that OldGoat has done just goes flying out the window. He then goes to the Reo forum and starts all over again, and many there were soon doing the same thing. Encouraging him it seemed. But then they come back to this forum - now - and all is good and cheery with their OldGoat mods. Sheesh. Actions speak louder than words.


I'm glad we have some ECF members that refrained from stooping that low.
You seem sure that OldGoat sent a faulty mod or it "became" faulty in transit. Well , what IS sure is that a unprotected battery was used and this entire ECF site cautions against that and it seems many members seem aware of it too.
What really happened then? What do we know for sure?

OldGoat has very good customer service. He makes reasonably priced mods, so we don't have to wait for weeks on end and spend $100+ for that most perfect jewel of a pv.(Which was exactly why the original OP came here in the first place.)
OldGoat makes these every day too. That's what I know - for sure.
I also know - for sure - that this member used an unprotected battery in a mod. If I were to ask any fairly knowledgable users what would likely happen when an unprotected battery was used in a mod, what do you suppose their answer could be?

Actually, ECF recommends the UNPROTECTED safe chemistry AW IMR. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...9007-warning-rechargeable-batteries-mods.html
An excerpt about the AW IMR batteries, the same batteries used by pneathery:

Li-Mn or Li-FePo4 rechargeables made by for example AW are a safe technology battery that can be used - they need no protection. They may not fit in your mod, check with the maker.

Current information is that AW IMR Li-Mn rechargeables are the safest batteries for use in mods.

Please read my earlier post here...It is NOT improbable that a IMR battery can be defective ,it happened to me.the other batteries from the same order were fine and do function as they should BUT because of the defective one I got I don't use them in mods or other than only brief uses.Sorry i just cant trust any battery that is unprotected after what happened to me.Good evening to all.

I don't think you understand. He won't take it back, he didn't ask to see it, he won't help me in any way. I told him what happened when I pushed the button to VAPE, and he blamed it on the batteries, and told me that all he is willing to do is give me a discount on another mod. He didnt even offer to troubleshoot it via email.

Ah. I see. Well that definitely makes things different. I hope you can get everything ironed out.

I appreciate your input grama..here as well as at the reo forum. You aren't the only one who saw what took place.

I haven't read through the entire thread, but I would like to offer a little advice that will not only help you , but keep me from being taken away from other duties.

Leave this thread for discussion of the product itself interests,assistance, etc.

If you have a complaint about how any supplier handles it's service we have areas in ECF specificly for reviews of suppliers.. of course it is always best to try to handle things via PM.. so the conversation doesn't get blown out or derail the current thread.


Thank you

LGD
