Ultrafire BRC 18650 3000mAh issues

[seanmc]

Hello, I decided to try out the Ultrafire BRC18650 3000mAh batteries, dude to the short performance of my AW18650 1600mAh batteries (3hrs). One thing I noticed was that the Ultrafire is almost 1/4" longer, it still fits, but its tight. I've been using this for about 3hrs with a Boge LR 2.0ohm carto @ 4.2v and now something strange is happening. If I draw on the unit for more than 5sec, it just shuts off...no error code, no flashing lights...nothing. I then have to unscrew the bottom cap and screw it back on again...hit it a couple of times...then, It happens again. Any input will be appreciated.

The internal protection circuit on the battery is shutting it off and to reset you have to remove the battery. These batteries don't have the capability to output higher currents.

Exact answer I was looking for, thank you!

No way...didn't know you could do that...or if it's safe! I use them in my flashlights now...and the 2500mah Provape batteries in my Vari.
