What batteries do I need?

[SKYYcamel]

I want to order a GLV, but I'm confused as to which batteries to use in the 5V model. I have UltraFire 16340 880mAh 3.6V batteries and Tenergy RCR123A 750mAh 3.0V batteries. Will either or both of these work? Thanks.



WARNING !! PLEASE READ!! Do not ever use unprotected batteries in a GLV or any other personal vaporizer..ever! Unprotected batteries may cause harm to you or your GLV. For any questions feel free to call 248-346-3205


sorry had to hijack your post so people could see this.

my 5 volt glv came with 16340's at 880mah

I have the GLV.
You want the ultrafire 3.6 x 2 (16340's)

The 3.0v will only last a few minutes,

These are the one's you want/need:

But will these work though? Tenergy RCR123A 750mAh 3.0V batteries.
Just wondering if these will work until i get the others

They should do in a pinch.
Theses are the safest batteries to use. Cost more but they are safe

AW battys.
Charge with a 3.7 multi charger.

Thanks doots,
I have 6 of the rcr123a 3.0v lifepo4 batteries that i'll use until i receive the ultrafire 3.6 16340's batteries i ordered from the link above.

 

[doots]

no problem. I also use the ultrafire also at times and they are good batteries.

Can you use 18350 batts with these?

does using 2- 3.6volts ,give the same voltage at the atty (under load)as do using 2 - 3.0volt batteries,i really dont want to use the glv above 5volts

3.6v is the right battery for the GLV not the 3v

Yeah they will work i have a set myself.

So I finally got some Ultrafire Protected 16340 1000mAh 3.6 volt batts, and measuring the voltage at the atty connection shows as 8 volts (OK, 7.98 volts) This seems a bit high for a 5 volt mod? Any fix?

nope thats right you should get 8ish ...the atty will drop 1 1/2 volts ..ish and the resistor will do the same = 5-5.5v

 

[Spiker]

Oh, cool then! I thought that the resistor would drop the voltage before it got to the atty connector. Thanks for the info!

No problem ..I did to when i first started learning about all of this stuff lol. You have to test it with an atty on to see what your really vaping at.

I have on hand 16340 3.0 volt 880 mah batteries and rcr123a 3.0v 750 mah lifepo4 batteries? Will either of these work? I know the 3.6 volt are recommended but hoping I don't have to order additional batteries.

 

[jcamacho]

I forgot to mention I will be mainly be using GLV for cartomizers KR8's.

Check the label on your 16340's. They should be 3.6V. Mine are and they are exactly what you need in the GLV.
