stupid battery questions ... using GG & 3.6 volt

[whatagem]

1. Alright, i've been playing with a GG Nano for 2 days, already scratched the plastic covering on a battery (really tough to get out of charger). Safe to use? Battery has not been punchered

2. Also, my batts say 1200mah the ones on Deal extreme say 800 mah
what's the diff? And deal extreme in USA? I'd like to deal with something closer to home (many have directed me to Deal Extreme--don't know of anything else)

Moved to GG forum.

Deal Extreme is in China. But their shipping rates are very low unlike most Chinese suppliers.

As to the battery and mah stuff. Someone else is gonna have to pick up that one.

GGs batteries are 1200 mah and protected. That means you have more than 50% more vaping time than 800 mah

 

[whatagem]

so to be clear, the mah refers to how long the battery charge will last before battery dies out?

 

[whatagem]

and what does protected or nonprocted mean exactly.....i see a lot of talk about this

 

[imeothanasis]

yes mah means what you said, and protected batteries means they have a protection cirquit for over cgarge and over discgarge. This also protects the battery's life and his behavior

Hi Sakis, Hi Gem, If you need batteries local try http://www.lighthound.com/Batteries-carriers-testers_c_20.html they are in TX too, pretty good prices.

Hi vince, nice to see you my man!!!

 

[whatagem]

Thanks Vince, I'll have to check it out when I have more time (on my way to work now...) I peeped it out a bit & I cannot imagine needing 10 batteries 8 might go bad before I ever use them. I do not see where they are rechargeable or not. Have you bought these before?

 

[Vince1]

I'm still around Sakis, How are you my friend? Busy I think Hahaha. I read more then post these days, long story.

Gem, if you look to the left of Lighthound's site you can click on li-ion protected or li-ion non-protected batteries. As far as I know you can just buy one but you don't get free shipping until $75. They also have lots of cool lights and chargers. I haven't ordered from them yet but they have a good reputation.
If a battery is listed as a "primary" battery it is not rechargeable.(primary means only good for the primary charge it comes with).
All their batteries are marked "rechargeable" if they are.

Hi vince,
No cr2 on this sit.

 

[Vince1]

Hi True, They are listed as RCR2, RCR2 Unprotected Rechargeable Lithium Battery But only in unprotected rechargeable.
Also if you look at the list on the left you will see a CR2 but it is a primary use and not rechargeable. plus I think they only allow a small discharge rate so will not fire an atomizer.
This company is more for the bigger batteries like the 14500 and 18500

 

[truelove]

Yes but they are a lil smaller and 3.7 not 3v.
Just a lil to much power for my GG Grant(2nd version)he he.

 

[Vince1]

I saw that and wondered if it was the upper limit listed or nominal voltage. Wouldn't take a chance on them.
Dealxtream is still best for the CR2 but it's hit and miss, some good, some weak. You pays your money, you takes your chances. Hahaha.

Hi Gem There is Never a stupid question, question is to live


Vince, its always a great pleasure seeing you my friend
Your right on the money with the term "hit or miss" I have 8 pairs of batteries, about 50% are completely finished, 1 pairs are on the verge and the other still work. I been doing some serious hunting till 3am last night. I found only 2 brands of cr2 that are rechargeable. One is the basic generic and the other is Juice brand, I don't know much about them and reviews and comments are next to worthless. I noticed however the [rice is significantly greater. Your Mega Battery Source For Rechargeable CR2 Juice 3v Photo Li-Ion Battery The One channel charger and battery (starter kit) ranges anywhere from 18.99 to 29.99. They could be the exact same as generics but its still a mystery. This weekend I'm hoping to make a few purchases. If you or anyone happens to try them before I do, keep us posted haha

I have been getting surprise packages from them. You never know what you are going to get. Then they wont contact you. I ordered batteries and I got six chargers that I can't use.

 

[truelove]

Are they for cr2?
Mine is funny some times lol
