Protege Battery Option?

[lexgar]

While looking at RS to see if they had any 14500 so I didn't have to wait for shipping I came across this one. It is an AA sized battery which will fit, it is rated at 2200 mah, but is 3.6v.

At the expense of a bit of voltage, might this not last a long time in the Protege or am I missing something here?

It is expensive, but if it was needed would it work? Is the .1v such a difference?

Sorry if it is a stupid question, but seems relevant.

Probably work ok, but doesn't appear to be rechargeable.

I am concerned about the 2200mAh vs the 900mAh that the Protege is designed to use. This is a big jump which could be a very good thing or a bad thing. Good as it would produce more vapor and bad if the unit was not designed for that much amps.

It looks like a good backup battery for emergencies. I think it would last about 2 days or more but like Lotus14 said it isn't rechargable. If I had none of the 14500 rechargable I would use them. Better to vape with a one-shot battery than to not vape at all.

If there is a Batteries Plus near you there's a good chance you can find the rechargeable batt you need there.

You are concerned about the wrong thing the more mah is alway better and nothing is designed for a specific mah it is only telling you how long a battery will stay charged

Yeah I checked RS and lithium is all they got li-ion is different cheaper and rechargeable

I would use it if I had it, but wouldn't pay for it

The Lithium batteries you are describing are called primary cells, usually have a much higher mAh rating than the rechargeable. Cost of use is much higher as they are meant to be disposed of once depleted.

The first mod I made was designed to use 2 CR2123 3v batteries, and since I got the mod finished b4 my rechargables arrived I purchased some primary cells. The 2 batteries I bought lasted more than 2 days, well after my rechargables arrived and where charged. Radio shack wouldn't be my first choice to purchase these batteries however.

Are you sure that they carry them???
