Tenergy 3 volts

[quovadis]

Guys
some of us are having huge trouble with two 3 volt batteries stacked.
Regardless the PV used.

Please join this thread to see if we can solve the issue ..

thanks

what exactly are you talking about? my 3v batteries that came with the Prodigy are working just fine and i've never had problems with them.

I got 5 sets of batts from puresmoker and they all work great in my prodigy.

might just be some bad batteries. I havent used tenergy 3v long but seem to work fine for me. I will be watching them closely now..lol

I would sure like to hear from everyone that uses them as to their experiences with them. If there are just some bad batches or this is something wide spread problem with these batteries. Please chime in with your experiences..

it would really be nice if a company made a 6v in the size of say a 18650 batty..
protected and like a 3000mah rating with say 600 charges...

I have 4 out of 14 that are unusable now..they still show a charge 3.2 v after being charged but don't work anymore..
I have noticed some of the remaining ones go down too quickly but haven't figure out why yet... They all come off the charger at around 3.32 and on one charger 3.5v (that's the best vape)!
I'm going to start checking them after now too..to see if top or bottom batts are different voltages..

I have been using my prodigy for only a few weeks. I have had no problems like quovadis and others are experiencing. I am going to begin trying to remember to short cycle the LiFePO4. I have seen voltages as low as 2.2 and that is too low. Running them too low will result in damage to the batteries.

i bought these tenergy 3v 750mah LiFePO4 bats for my silver bullet- I got the 6 bats and charger kit from all-battery and Ive put 2-3 charges on each set of 2 and they seem to be working great- I guess since they are so new they should be working perfectly, hopefully after 10-15 chargers I can still get the good performance

I have 2 sets of RCR123A batteries that came with my Prodigy...and they don't hold their charge. I can take them right out of the charger, and they will last anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours MAX. And I HAVE left them in the charger for the recommended amount of time. I just haven't checked them with the multimeter yet.

I have read this before and have found it true ... the first few about 3 times you charge the batteries they don't hold a good charge then they will start holding a better charge for you .. Im not sure why it is like that though ... with some of the batteries I have got in packages it will say on the package about this .... don't cut the charging time short leave them on the charger for at least 8 hours the first 3 times you charge them ... then you will be good to go! This was printed on a package I got my rcr123s and cr2s so don't know but seems to me it would hold true with most rechargable batteries

No issues here either.

The only issue I encounter is that the batts aren't a snug fit (diameter wise) in either the SB or Prodigy and sometimes you have to tap the body to realign them in the tube to make perfect contact. Sometimes you drop the cells in but it won't work when you hit the button, give her a slap on the body and she fires up.

Use the copy paper mod .... roll the computer paper up place it in the tube cut to fit. makes the batteries fit good .... you can roll the paper around the battery to get the size...
