Snails - Response on Threads Part 7

[AttyPops]

The thing about the LG's is they were tested by the factory at 30 amps then rated at 20 for safety I guess

I'm so out of date.

Is that IMR or better? (thinking 'what happens if shorted somehow?') Does HE2 = safe tech?

I don't even know what mod you're buying, let alone what battery you should buy! But I know general specs of stuff as quoted. And like I said, ask or do research. <<--- I did say that. Ask em.

Look for details, like max amp rating, like IMR, like reputation and reviews (from your RESEARCH), like manufacturer recommendations for specs, and mostly, reading up.

That 20 amp limit on the battery Kat listed is the lowest I'd go for these mods, and really I'd want MORE than that. But if OBG says it's OK for 60 watts, fine by me.

Spoiler

Hmmm...let's see....60 watts / 3.5 volts = 17.14 amps. Close. But that doesn't tell me everything, because VV and also because that's at battery 1/2 done voltage and IDK the 'overhead' of the mod)

Chances are you won't run it near 60 watts anyway. What really bothers me is that there's fakes on the market. So IDK who to order from these days. Check reviews here on ECF.

I wasn't really asking since I have my batteries already (not those)

But I did ask for correction if I was giving bad advice

Side by side comparison

LGHE2
Specifications:
Nominal Capacity: 2500 mAh
Nominal Voltage: 3.6V
Discharge End Voltage: 2.5V
Standard Charging Current: 1.25A
Charging Voltage: 4.20+-0.05V
Max. Continuous Discharging Current: 20A
Internal Resistance: <20 milli-ohms
Dimensions:
65.00mm (L) x 18.30 mm (D)
Weight: 48.0g

Sanyo
Specifications:
Nominal Capacity: 2500 mAh
Typical Capacity: 2600 mAh
Nominal Voltage: 3.6V
Discharge End Voltage: 2.5V
Standard Charging Current: 1.75 A
Charging Voltage: 4.20+-0.03V
Max. Continuous Discharging Current: 20A
Internal resistance: <35 milliohms
Dimensions:
65.3mm (L) x 18.50 mm (D)
Weight: 45.8g

See the differences ?? take note of Internal resistances and standard charging current, most of the chargers we use are good for 1 amp so the lower the resistance and the closer you are to your chargers rated output the faster they charge,and that's just part of the reason I like them better

That's one I'll have to look up But if I remember correctly they are safe chemistry

Good night lovely & handsome Snails

 

[AttyPops]

Night again Dale.

OBG...I was looking too. Here's an interesting article, but see the end for the reference to safe-chem. It indicates it is safe chem.
What is the difference between the LG HE2 and LG HE4? Which is newer, better?

I was just about to paste the whole story

morning, dale and frannie!

 

[tiburonfirst]

atty, after doing the usual checking confirmation as to suitability came from @mikepetro

he likes and uses the lg he2s

 

[FranC]

Morning,tib and dale

 

[Katmar]

Good morning, Dale, Frannie and Tibs and ALL my Snail buddies incoming....

Whew, glad those batteries checked out, cause I ordered 8 of them to get the free shipping, instead of 12.65 for shipping.

 

[tiburonfirst]

morning, kat

 

[daleron]

Good morning Fran, Tibs, and Kat

 

[CES]

Good morning

K. so the flat top LEs are ok for the sale mod? thanks for the info

I have other mods though- what's a good set of 2500 mAh button top batteries?

Also, on a completely different note: I started this book yesterday and it's pretty good. Odd, kinda funny, interesting. The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

morning, ces!

Good morning CES

Good morning snails. Busy next few days here.
Reading back...one moment please. Please stand by. (a la OBG)

So... to get that free shipping (a $12.65 savings), how much extra did you spend, over
and above your original intended purchase?

Not being "mean"... because I do the same thing. I go in... put things in the cart...
and they say "spend $xx.xx more to get free shipping!!!"... Amazon comes to mind.
So, I look around and put a few more things in just to "save" on shipping. But what
I spent extra costs more than what original shipping would have been.

They know EXACTLY what they are doing.
