I have 2 dual 18650 LED headlamps which are amazing, one in my truck and one in garage. I need one for my room for coil building and installing/removing/cleaning PC parts etc.
they're only like $7 shipped on ebay. I got $25 per pair for the best protected 18650s I was suggested in forum for the two headlamps I already have. (not e-cig 18650s).
Yes I do have some spare lithium ion 18650s for vaping in my room but I'll try and keep the spares ones drained when in storage in MODs I'm not using.
I read they can explode or go thermal if get too hot especially if they're fully charged.
I leave my headlamp fully charged (not charging via cigarette lighter) in my truck which probably gets like 120 degrees Fahrenheit in there and never had a problem but I don't want to risk an indoor fire. (I guess laptops are the same risk but I dunno, and don't use a laptop anyway).
So anyway, yea I can get a battery bag for my spare mods when not in use but I read and saw videos where those bags can almost make things worse if they go thermal (like a fountain firework they condense a stream of sparks from a seam in the bag). I can make a battery box from a metal ammo box but I don't think I'll do that.
I have 2 Xtar VC2 Plus dual bay chargers.
They sell the headlamps I want (zoomable and with batteries in the back, not front weighing the bulb down) they're available as quad/triple AA or single/dual 18650.
Is there a safe type (nimHi or whatever) 18650 I can get and not have to worry about the headlamp blowing up if my room gets hot (like maybe 100 F plus maybe sun hitting it)? Or are there rechargeable AA that are safe for this (I don't have a preference of 18650 or AA),
or should I just skip all this and get a strip of AA batteries from the dollar store?THANKS
