Battery care

Also you should be able to just scan that qr code next to the 16 digit number with your phone and a qr scanner app, that will validate aurlthenticity too

I tried that. It just takes me to the Nitecore website. andipandi has authenticated the charger, so not to worry

Jolly good, now your name and address, so I can place the order and get some bloody sleep, I might be weird but I'm not a psycho or stalker View attachment 261630

I've watched that series on Netflix called You and I think having my own personal psycho stalker would be fun lol

Thank you, it's been checked for me now. I couldn't see the wood for the trees in anger but I'm happy again now. You have all been so lovely

It's unfortunate, but I wouldn't take it personally about the cells.

The shops buy from wholesalers, who tell them specs that the shops usually take at face value - technical knowledge is rare, despite how it appears talking to a bunch of vape nerds on here

It's highly likely they've sold loads of those cells and nobody has had a problem at all - the standard usage profile would be very unlikely to stress them to failure. But the possibility exists and imo it's not worth the gamble now you know.

Well I know now and I'm so glad I joined here. Also pretty chuffed that I asked for help, I don't usually

I was brave and headed to my vape shop with batteries and it was closed. I'll try again tomorrow

Just to summarise the basic battery safety bollocks in one place:

1. a) Don't ever carry loose, always either in a mod, or in one of those plastic containers*
   b) Ensure the battery "wrap" (plastic casing) is intact and not torn or damaged in any way
   
   
2. a) Make sure your charger is a reputable brand
   b) Don't leave batteries in your charger overnight (even though this is safe in theory, it's a good safety precaution - shit goes wrong sometimes)
   
   
3. a) Make sure the A rating of batteries are suited to the wattage you vape at (higher A rating needed for higher watts)
   b) Be wary of inaccurate A ratings. I can't believe it's not illegal to misrepresent them, but many do**

* Because a piece of metal - e.g. a bunch of keys in your pocket) could touch it and cause it to discharge

** There is a dude called Mooch who is a battery testing legend. If somebody quotes a "mooch rating" at you, you can take it as gospel.

Thank you. I'm now educated
