These 18350's came with my VAMO... just wanted to know if any of you have used them and if so, are they safe. I haven't had any issues using them. They do last a good long while. I am running them stacked.

I am using these two 18350, 3.7v batteries in my VAMO. I am using the charger that came with this kit and it seems to be working just fine. After charging both batteries I let them rest for no less than 30 minutes. When I put then in the VAMO and test the remaining charge it ALWAYS says 8.3v. Divided by 2 is of course 4.15v which if I am correct, is the most you should charge a 3.7v battery.
My question is, when should I put them back on the charger? I have been putting them back on the charge at 7.2v as a pair or 3.6v apiece... is this too soon? Should I let them drop to 6.8v or 3.4v apiece? How low can I safely go without hurting the batteries ability to charge or life of the batteries?

Don't worry about charging them too soon. Lithium batteries don't have a "memory." Running them all the way down before re-charging will shorten their life.
