    It’s smart to respect the power in any lithium battery, but educating yourself on care and usage will eliminate “paranoia”! Link in my SIG, to Battery University is a good place to start.

    Thanks, no I am not doubting or challenging anyone. Just trying to learn. I think my error was as you said, mistaking nominal voltage for fully charged . thank you

    ...that warning. Sometimes lithium battery voltage lists the NOMINAL VOLTAGE, which is considered 3.7-3.8 volts. If you don’t fully charge those small batteries to 4.2 volts, you’ll never enjoy your micro. If you don’t believe me, check the link in my sig to the Battery University website. Good...

    18650 Battery Safety

    I just received the BAT-SAFE. Bought the medium sized box on sale for $59. It’s designed to charge LIPO packs inside the box, with charger outside the box. My charger has a fan, and like most single cell bay chargers NEEDS airflow to dissipate heat, I would NOT use a charger inside the box! I...

    thanks, yeah i'm still satisfied with their performance. i really haven't noticed any degradation at all with either line of batteries or the unit after 6 months of heavy use. Occasionally i hear a clicking noise when the first pull is initiated, but never after. not sure if people hear that...

    ...so shocking that it read a value low enough that it told you the wattage you needed was too much to ask for. You could ask in the 18650 thread/poke around battery university to probably confirm this and understand why, but I don't think it implies much about your battery life span in isolation.

    18650 Battery Safety

    You are OVER thinking things, don’t be concerned with how your batteries are shipped. Buy the brands and types that have been recommended, at the trusted vendors, also listed. A good multi-bay Charger will allow different charging settings for each bay. Charge them to the standard of 4.2 volts...

    18650 Battery Safety

    Yeah you are confused, the 3.6V rating of a battery is different than what we are talking about, the charge level is also volts, and 4.2 volts is fully charged, perfectly safe, and like I said you can use it down to 3 volts safely but 3.7 is typical shut off for a lot of vapes and good storage...

    There's some great info on this thread and I really appreciate all the advice that people have given here. I checked out the Battery University site and there's a wealth of information there but it's a bit too techical for me. One thing that made an impression on me is that fully charged...

    In the battery university it says "The advised charge rate of an Energy Cell is between 0.5C and 1C; the complete charge time is about 2–3 hours. Manufacturers of these cells recommend charging at 0.8C or less to prolong battery life; however, most Power Cells can take a higher charge C-rate...
