Question regarding battery for lavetube mini

[godspeed1208]

Hi guys, Just a quick question, can i buy 18350 batts here locally in sg? Any places that you know? My current batt is labled :

Model Number: ICR18350
Type: Li-ion
Voltage: 3.7V
Capacity: 900mAh
Size: 18mm X 35mm
PVC: Blue color
Weight: 50g

Could i get other batts to use with my lavatube and also do i need to get another charger for other different batts?

Not sure if you can use IMRs.

IIRC LT uses flat top batteries. if yours uses nipple top batteries you can google "singapore aw imr 18350"

you'll find 2 places selling. i cant post direct links due to regulations.

usually u don't need to change the charger. unless you wan to go for brand names.

You can use IMR,it will fit.

You can buy them at various stores here. The batteries we use for PVs are the same kind of batteries used by flashlight enthusiasts.

So stores like black tactical and FStoplights carry them.

I bought from FStoplights and it's fit.The Red colour AW IMR.

Hi thanks alot, saw that batt... it says 700mah. mine currently that came with the set is 900mah. So the red aw imr is lesser in power and will have shorter power or would be different?

 

[Domtine]

IMRs may display a lower mah than what you have but the C rating is definitely better.

C rating is the peak continouos discharge rate of a battery. In vaping world, C rating would be the numbers you should be interested in

IMR usually lasts a lot longer.


Specs for AW IMR 18350

Nominal Voltage 3.7V (4.2V at full charge)

Capacity 700mAH

Lowest Discharge Voltage 2.5V

Standard Charge CC/CV Max. charging current 2A

Cycle Life 500 Cycles

Max. Continuos Discharge Rate 6A approx. 8.5C

Operating Temperature -10°C to 60°C

Get MNKE battery if you can.

Maximum Continuous Discharging Current 20 A

the AW IMR26650 has a short circuit current of 70A.......

Ok i just realised that my batt is not a nip top, it's more of a flat top. So will i be able to you the nip top imr 18350 batt with my mini lavatube?

 

[Stinson]

Yes,it will fit with the AW IMR with nip.

 

[godspeed1208]
