Question about 14650 batteries

[Reidus]

I just purchased an E-Power kit, and I'm waiting on it to come in. It comes with 2 14650 1050mah 3.7v rechargeable batteries. A person on the New Members forums sent me to a site that has 14650 1600mah batteries that he says he uses in his E-power without any problems and charges on the same charger that came with his kit. Does this sound right? I thought mah and size were closely related.

The 1600mAh batt will use the same charger. There are doubts as to how accurate the 1600mAh is but much of that depends on vaping habits. For me and my eGo batts, the mAh ratings are pretty close.

Kent is correct, the same charger will work fine. He is also correct about the milliamp hour ratings. For the most part mAh ratings are inflated and falsely reported, especially by the low end manufacturers. If you buy high quality batteries (AW as an example) you will get better results in the long run. Your vaping habits will definitely affect the duration of usable charge, for example I use AW "Red" 2000 mAh batteries and get less than a days use out of them, while another person may get 2 days out of them.
