Red hot batteries

[quovadis]

Guys
it takes seconds for an unprotected battery to get red hot before exploding.

Today one of my two green 3 volt batteries from Deal extreme did get really hot in the chuck.

I unscrewed the bottom cap and burnt a thumb.
Got a blister now.

If you sense heat , do not attempt to open the PV, just leave it alone until cool.

Damn these batteries to eternal hell...the Tenergy trip most of the time and the unprotected ones are dangerous if faulty.

The solution is obviously to try and detect a faulty battery before it gets hot.

I'm gonna start wearing a protective mask and gloves when vaping now!!

I have heard a few people talking about the green 3 volt batteries getting hot and exploding ... I would stay away from those batteries I think they produced a faulty batch

Are you thinking twice about the unprotected batteries now quovadis?

This happened on my Chuck. I sent it back in, and he replaced something in it. Then I used those same batteries again with no troubles.

Mine don't get warm while they have a good charge. If I detect the slightest bit of warmth coming through my Prodigy case, I switch out the batteries. I think they start to heat up when they are working harder to provide adequate voltage.

Ahh no! Another nail in the coffin for my GG and its 3v CR2s Mine only got warm during normal use not hot but I stopped using the GG at 6 volts as a precaution.

No ...unprotected are good when they are not faulty.

I had one bad one in about 50 batteries...

just got to try them and see if they are faulty.

Are you sure this was a fault in the battery and not in the device you were using it in? It could go either way.

hot battery = short in the circuit

use the Tenergy LIFEPO4 RCR123A's AT 3v.
They are much safer. chemistry is different than regular li ion batteries.

You do realize that protected = FAULT PROTECTION

Of course you don't need to be protected when everything is going good, its when things go bad you need the protection. How do you magically know there is a fault, be it a short, or a batt gone south, untill it too late? Heck if you could do that there wouldn't be such a thing as a fault, mistake or acident, you would just stop it from happening before it does. Life doesn't work that way tho..

1 "bad one" in about 50, is enough to blow your face off. 1 "bad one" in infinite is also enough to blow your face off.

I'm lost. You are trying to save a few bucks, like maybe 3, and you are risking your own safety to do so?

This may not be the place to ask but I have no clue about HV batts and the like yet- Just what I ocassionally read and try to understand...
Would the Eneloop batteries work? I saw a post somewhere that someone mentioned no batteries available in the US for HV that are rechargeable... something to that effect anyway- & eneloops are available here and can be recharged... I have no idea what protected vs unprotected means...
I use eneloops in my Canon and will never use anything else now-
Any thoughts...

I use the same ones doots, mine are the 750mAh grey and yellow ones. Never had any issues with mine. They are real easy to tell when they need to be recharged, they drop off on voltage really quickly at the end.

I have some of those green 15270 3v CR2's and don't use them anymore, I'm tired of reading threads about them being problematic. I still have 4x of them in shrink wrap .
