Grant 2 sections 3.7v 14500

My 18650s arrived today,bloomin ecks they're big!

Bit of a shuffle through one section but they will fit,and my spacers arrived today too! Just in time for an all day vape tomorrow whilst i'm out all day

 

[Iken]

Your right about that Ckc, I just heard they're next to useless really but now that I think on it, it can be geared to the folks that like the Grant size over the Nano and want to keep their 3.7 volts. I'll edit my post Thank ya. That is awesome news! Enjoy!!

Oh hey what about if I use 2 CR123a that are 3.0v each so technically I can use the GIANT at 6volts too?? They're 1000mah a piece so thinking maybe like 10 hours of battery life.

i hink thats what imao had in mind till the new atty comes out

for the grant i still think the smaller spacer works better though crash

Hi guys, Just a quick point,

Iken posted-GIANT Ex....7.4Volts..........2........CR123a........Three Section.

Oops,this should be Ex....3.6Volts..(7.2V)..2......CR123a........Three section.

It should also be made clear that the 123a can be found in 3.0v and 3.6v.

A 3.0v battery will meter test at 3.6v fresh off the charger, and a 3.6v battery will meter test at 4.2v fresh off the charger. It is very important not to put a 3.0v battery in a 3.6v charger as it will overcharge it to 4.2v and this is above safe range for the 3.0v battery.

3.0v- http://www.lighthound.com/3-Volt-RCR123a-Unprotected-Battery_p_30.html

3.6v- http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3204

3.7- protected- http://www.lighthound.com/AW-RCR123a-Protected-750-mAh-Battery_p_114.html

Some are labeled 3.6v and some are 3.7v, these are not different enough to matter. I'm sure this is how Iken got the 7.4v figure even though his link is to a 3.6v battery, lol.

 

[funkybozu]

you should also specify that both the 16340 3V and 3.6V(3.7V depends on the brand) come in protected (PCB) and unprotected forms
with the protected being 1~3 mm longer than the unprotected


there is also the 16340 LiFePO4 solution, these are a safer battery sinse the do not explode or catch fire,

but i have not found any that have a PCB so you can still kill them by over charge/discharge
