Me mod batts

[pmac]

Okay. Just bought a used chi you clone and need some advise on batts/charger for it.
There seems be be disagreements on what's best everywhere I read. protected/ non protected and ones with safer chemicals.... Idealt I would like the safest possible battery's and set up.. is it worth adding a kick as well, I read they don't fit the chi as well as the nemesis.

i think a kick struggles in the tubes of this one but i only have sigelei ones so maybe a crown or evolve one would be ok?

i use efest batteries in all mine and work great...for the chi id say nipple tops would work better than flat tops.

Kick's are a bit hit and miss in a Chi, even a real one. As for batteries, I use 2600 AW ICR's in my mech mods. As well as exceptional battery life, they're self protected so good in mechs, don't work too well if at all in non mech mods.

I use a hcigar chi you clone and battery config as follows; Sony VTC4'S in 18650 and AW IMR 18350, I have an Evolve Kick2 and have used it in this mod, but it needs some clever packing, a cardboard sleeve to ensure the pins touch the side of the tube, it's not ideal so removed it after a few days:-)

The charger i use is the Efest LUC, twin charger & it works very well for me. Nice display that lets you know whats going on, switch between 0.5amp & 1amp, switches to trickle automatically when batts are fully charged & accepts lots of different size batts too. I like this charger.

+1 on the efest luc

Trickle charging lithium cells is a very, very bad idea. They should be charged at constant current till they hit 4.2V then at constant voltage till the current drops to less than 10% (Some use 3%) of the initial current, then they should stop. Trickle charging lithium ion cells is a fire waiting to happen.

I might have worded it wrong. It detects then, when the batteries hit 4.2v & automatically switches to the next mode, whatever that is. Safe mode, trickle, keep topped up, i dunno but it doesn't let them go over.
