Will this charger charge 18350 batteries?

[MarkS]

I've purchased a lava tube and wanted to know if this battery charger I have already will charge 18350 batteries?

Again sorry if it's a dumb question, but electrics are not my forte.

Possibly not Mark. what kind of batteries have you in there? You need a charger that can charge li-on batteries!

Thank you Karma

No it won't work then, It's for Ni-Cd & Ni-Mh batteries. Oh well thought I'd ask to help save a few pennies.
Done another small fortune on vaping gear yesterday and I need to breathe in a bit.

This one charges both. I think there's a discount code somewhere

or a budget buy, charges li-on only

ECR69 should get you some discount at ECW

Thank you Karma it's going to have to be budget for now as I've blown nearly all my spare cash for another 3 weeks.

Wasn't sure about buying the Lava Tube last night, but flipped a coin and it came up heads, so the decision was out of my hands really.

Another dumb question, but looking around all day I'm flummoxed again.

What size 18350 battery goes into the Lavatube 4?

Been reading the AW IMR18350 is the best choice?
But everywhere else with links they seem to be all sold out.

Mark 18350 is the size - 18mm x 35mm

Thanks oneday.

What's all this nipple and flat top malarky?

[OneDay]

A nipple is the little 'pip' that you would see on the top of a normal battery like an AA. Flat tops don't have it, they are pipless like the bottom of a normal battery

Thanks onedayillquit

To be honest I'm losing the will to live to find a couple at a reasonable price and when I do surprise surprise they are out of stock.
Loads of 18650's at good prices everywhere, but 18350's seem to be as rare as hens teeth.
The Lavatube i have ordered only takes 18350's as well. Should have gone for the vamo.

Lavatube arrives tomorrow so I guess I'll just sit and stare at it.

These are not the cheapest but they are in stock

Thanks again onedayillquit.

I have seen them, but was confused as they look nothing like the other AW IMR ones I've seen and I had no idea what the high drain bit meant.

That price is about as good as it gets if they are AW IMR batteries.
Reading around it seems other brands? don't last too long.


Sorry for all the questions and sounding dumb, but it's a bit like when I first went looking for an e-cig and I've ended up baffled by the b#llsh#t so to speak.

[OneDay]

I know just what you mean about the confusion, there is so much info, and a lot of it seems to conflict. You can get analysis paralysis quite easily.
I've used those in my lavatube and they're fine.

[MarkS]

Cheers onedayillquit.

Yeah my head hurts from reading graphs, charts and opinions and then dodging the minefield of fakes etc. Been to literally every vendor site out there and some the layouts do not make it any easier.
Cannot for the life of me get my head around liberty flights site among others.

I have literally spent hours upon hours trying to buy two poxy batteries.

Going to buy the ones from Apollo and the discount code works, but £3.40 for shipping two batteries? what are they sending them by helicopter?

Sorry getting negative and grumpy now.

I really do appreciate you taking the time out to help me.
