Husband built a small flashlight mod that takes 2 CR2 batteries. I can only find one store that carries protected (out of stock) & he wants to make one for my mom.

Question:
What battery do I get that is 3.7 volts (or whatever) so that I only need one battery that equals the length of 2 CR2 batteries?

I cannot keep up with the sizes, numbers, etc. Mom has been using a 901 for over a month & I would like to get her something around 4 volts--realy just a battery that readily comes in protected. I don't think she'll require a whopping 6 volts or anything like that.

thanks in advance!

there's room in the width area to spare--just not in the length. Does anyone know the measurements of these batts & voltage or where I could find that info?


Mom has emphasema so I was thinking of just going with 3 AAA batts. Don't want to give her something that hits too hard. She only quit smoking a month ago

Recently built a nicostick, Got a " LS 14500 - 3.6v (Li-socl2), 2250 mAh battery. This the only 14500 I could find locally. Is there a reason it won't work? Checking all connections, readings are all 4.0, but it almost no vapor and that's only after several draws. So, for kicks, I put the "ICR10440P 320 mAh battery out my PT and bingo, vapor.
Any help

it also might be the protection circut kicking in and shutting the flow of electricity off because the battery's protection circut board doesn't allow as much power to flow as compaired to what the atomizer is trying to use; the Protection board sees that excess draw of current it thinks there is an electronic short and does it's job unfortunately not the job you want done.

That's a Primary batt, which means it's not rechargeable. You need to get the right rechargeable one. They are usually Trustfire or Ultrafire and you want protected ones of 900mAh. When they come off the charger they should read about 4.2V. You'll have to go on-line to buy them.

MV has the right ones as do many others.

You'll need the correct charger also.
