Samsung’s warning to 18650 Battery users
Lithium-ion batteries from
Samsung have now been listed on its website as “not intended” for use in e-cigarette devices. In fact, Samsung goes even further, suggesting that to do so would result in “fire or explosion”, causing “serious injury or property damage”. These batteries have been sold in error by vape wholesales and outlets for the best part of 2 years or more after the Samsung declaration as it was not well publicised.
While some may see this as a minor caution, it’s worth recalling the news stories that have surfaced in recent years, with 18650 batteries causing explosions and serious bodily harm. In some cases, non-genuine batteries were the culprits, but it’s worth bearing this risk in mind when choosing to use any lithium-ion battery.
What to do if you’ve purchased a Samsung 18650 battery
Many companies in the UK have sold these batteries without being made aware of the risks, including retailers like Amazon, but responsible vape companies have now made the decision to remove the battery from sale.
If you own a Samsung iNR18650-25R battery, we would recommend refraining from using this battery as per Samsung’s warning and dispose of the battery in an environmentally friendly way. Your local retailers may run battery take-back schemes, or you can visit your local recycling centre for safe disposal.
