Question about AW IMR Batteries

[MJBinNM]

I finally found some 18350 AW IMR batteries for my P+ and have some questions.

Are there any tricks to extend their life? Any special first time charging recommendations?

I have the TrustFire TR-001 charger, is this a good charger for the IMRs?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

TIA

That charger should work fine.

Don't over charge your batts.

Don't over discharge your batts.

Get a multi-meter so that you can make sure that they are charging/draining properly.

If you see any physical damage to the batts at any point, your best bet is to stop using them.

Venkman had some good tips. You'll find after about the 4th charge/discharge they'll have their max capcity. Also, i have AW IMR 18350's back in stock ;-)

Thanks for the advice venkman...so pretty much the same as with regular lipo batteries...

Now you tell me...I checked the Super-T site before ordering and it showed out of stock. I ordered 4 and coulda saved a couple bucks...the site I ordered from had them for a little more and shipping was about a buck more...

Sometimes you need to refresh the page as your computer may be storing an older version of the site. I update it so frquently (usually everyday) so you need to refresh when ever coming to site.

Whats the deal with the Panasonic 18650 batteries you started selling? How do you compare them to the AWs? Do they fit well in a P+18? What would be the washer/o-ring setup?

Panasonic 3100mAh load tests equal to the AW 3100mah as the AW uses the same Panasonic 3100mah cell.

The Panasonic IMR 2250 load tested a little over 2000mAh as i recall (i tested one a couple of weeks ago), but i can't find my graph, some i'm testing one again right now and will let you know the results!
