Who wants LifePo4 CR123A's?

[SSRob]

I can get em...just tell me and they are ordered.

Lithium phosphate CR123A's. 3.0v. Chemically non-explosive like li-ion. Just a safer all around battery. Not saying li-ion are deathly explosive but if not handled correctly li-ion can be a bad deal.

They don't last as long as li-ion but charge in the same charger as my Tenergy CR123A li-ion's and will actually be cheaper.

Say yes and I will "pull the trigger."

Thanks
Rob

I'd buy a few sets

How much?

I'm in... as long as you can keep the price to $4 or less...

 

[WhatAClumsyGirl]

Count me in as well

Rob,
I know Steve from puresmoker said he has had wayy better experience with the tenergy lifepo4 750mah rcr123a's then the 900mah ones your carrying... Way longer battery life as far as charge cycles. This may just be a personal opinion tho..but he said he tried out both very good before choosing to go with the lifepo4 with his products.

I've been using the 750 mah 123a's (2 sets, swapped almost daily) in my Xhaler for a month now, and they show no signs of decay at all... in fact, even when I have forgotten to change the batts before my 10-hour workshift, they still hold up for most of a second day, as well...

Good batts, AFAIK

they are suppose to be good for 2000 cycles.. very good batts. Ive been using them for 6 or 7 months and no drop off yet..

doots,
I agree....I think you get more battery cycles then the li-ion bats. All tho the li-ion Rob carry is 900mah..and the lifepo4 tenergy are 750mah someone said they didnt seem to last much longer if at all. So yeah, I would agree that the lifepo4 bats are the way to go, I like em.

As said already the LifePo4's are supposed to have a longer charge/discharge cycle count. I've got my grubby fingers on some and will have them here soon. I think you'll like the pricing as well...for once I can say I'll be cheaper than they are!

[imeothanasis]

its a little dificult for the 750 mah to be better than 900 mah to my opinion because they have a big diference in cost.
I also had a pair of 750 and they werent very good. I said to Rob that 2 weeks ago. I havent tried the 900 mah but to my opinion you buy what you pay, thats a law in good companies.
Rob is trying for the best and I believe that he made the best choice. I will order from him to try them and I will tell you my results

These are the batteries I use for 6v, and they work great IMHO. I'd read a while ago about uneven discharge issues with CR123s, but I've yet to experience that with these.

 

[SSRob]

200 LiFePo4 750mAh RCR123A's on the way...

Gee, that's swell... but you messed up on one thing here, buddy... you should carry batts with a shorter life... sell more batts that way...

I'll order some from you though... probably 'round summertime...

well after seeing what I saw to today I think those protected batteries are the way to go.

 

[SSRob]

Except for the 10440/10430's, the protected style are all I carry. The CR2's seem to be the main problem though from what I've seen.

Thats true I haven't seen any other unprotected batteries going haywire either.

 

[SSRob]

Well since I have these supposed LiFePo4's CR2's coming that I'm not going to sell, I figured I'll donate them to research and see what kind of conditions I can put them through to get them to explode.

The RCR123A LiFePo4's that I ordered will be here soon...and they do have protection circuits on them.

I also had a dead RCR123A li-ion in my desk so I peeled the wrapper off to expose the PCB...pretty good sized protection circuit on there...I didn't realize how thick that portion was. The left battery is the RCR123A and next to it is a LiFePo4 CR2.

 

[grimmer255]

so thats what the circuitry looks like in the protected battery. learn something new everyday. please post videos and pics of your research to blow the batteries... I was in the Army so I love to watch things blow up.... please be careful though.

 

[SSRob]

Basically it's a circuit board with three SMT diodes on it...not complex at all.

Will definitely do videos
