18650 Batteries

[DaveABQ]

would the batteries in 1-4 slot and set to 2000 affect the readings?

I wouldn't think so, should work like that.
Were you discharging at 2000ma?

 

[DaveABQ]

Oops, got a phone call, wasn't reading messages, sounds like something wrong, a 2000 charge shouldn't matter

 

[DaveABQ]

I've got a couple of junk batteries in the charger now, going to test.

 

[DaveABQ]

My 3400 works fine

 

[FrankT]

well fine Mr Smarty Pants! Mine work great in my lights!

 

[DaveABQ]

I meant my C3400 charger/analyzer works fine...I tested it on a few batteries, all functions work fine

 

[FrankT]

yeah I believe mine is faulty, I am sending it back

 

[Hard_ware]

bt-c3100 v2.1 problems fixed or the bt-c3400 never had the problem.

Just ordered the bt 3100 v2.1 $40.00 + $2.00 +no shipping =$42.00

[FrankT]

i have two sets of 18650s. one is 3000mAh 3.7v Li-ion and the other is 2400 mAh 3.7v (doesnt specify li ion or not). does it matter if i charge one on the other's charger or use one in the other's equipment? one is for an IR light and the other is for a kill light.

 

[FrankT]

They should be the same just the run time is different, I have seen only Li-ion batteries in 18650

 

[Chopperdrvr]

This is off topic, so I apologize in advance. Is there an equivalent li ion rechargeable for the cr123 batteries?

 

[Hard_ware]

RCR123 is the rechargeable, make and get the 3v version, the other version is over 3 volts.

 

[theblakester]

is using an 18650 in place of 2 cr123s in a pinch a no no.. i think i recall reading something on that

 

[Hard_ware]

Depends on the device, if it has a voltage regulator then its not a problem.
But be careful, most lights are not a problem to use the 18650 as the current should be regulated.

 

[DaveABQ]

I haven't had any luck with rechargeable 123's. Have any links to one's that work? Now that I have an analyzer, can check the ones that I have and see what they are doing, but think they are all in my trailer in Texas.

 

[Hard_ware]

I have not used any, not worth the small amount of power they carry.
18650 all the way

That's true.

Frank, did you return your charger? Get a new one?

 

[FrankT]

Yes Sir, sent it back and am using the 5 chargers I have that have come w the batteries over the years

 

[DaveABQ]

cant believe you're not getting a replacement... know what your batteries actually hold and can refresh them....
