Super six batteries

[katnbrian]

I am just sitting here wondering if there are any other (better) batteries then the 14500 or cr2 I like six Volt better but find the cr2 batteries to be crap.

I originally bought this specifically for the CR2's... but found that I agree with you. I like it with the 14500 better and my Cr2's are just taking up shelf space

I've found that 2 14250 batteries fit but that takes it to 7.4V so you pretty much gotta use a HV atty..

What brand do you use? What don't you like about them?

We have 6 ultrafire 600mah that are just junk they act like 3.7V I have 1 set of unbranded that are good but cannot find them anyplace they are 300mah. I dont want to trial test all kinds of batteries hoping to get some that work.
Also, they dont last all that long.

I've been vaping on two sets of UltraFire CR2's for 3 months now. I think their capacity is starting to fade a bit, but they still work fine. I have another two sets I got about a month and a half ago, UltraFire also, and no problems with them either.

On capacity, I get about 2 hours of heavy vaping on a set of CR2's. So they aren't great, but overall no issues with the UltraFire batteries.

What type of charger are you using?

haha There is not even a name on the charger,got it with my mako though.
I can get about 2hr also or more but there just isn`t any oompa I may as well use my 14500`s.
All these batts are about 3-4 weeks old.

Id like to try this but then I have to get another charge and catch the 10 minute window that suppliers actually have LR`s in stock.

I'm reasonably happy with my CR2s. I bought 3 pair of Excellerators from Excellerator Rechargeable CR2 Battery - 2 Pack with Charger

They took them off their site when there was a report of an outgassing. When they didn't hear from the OP they put them back up.

I bought 6 batteries and matched pairs with my VOM. One bat measured low. The vendor quickly shipped me a new pair. I get about three hours from a set. Pulsing my S6 with them gets much more vapor than sustained hits with 14500 trustfire. Still, not sure I would trust any battery pairs if I couldn't check with a multimeter.

I'm not sure what's up, there is a huge difference to me between the 3.7 volt 14500 and dual 3.0 volt CR2's. I would put a volt meter on your CR2's and make sure they are coming off the charger around 3.6 volts or so.
