Which 18650 battery should I use ????

[jeffc]

Hi All.
Although new to this forum, joined 24 hours ago, you have shown to be a very friendly knowledgeable group of people.
Hence my first if not of many questions.
I am awaiting delivery of Ego V2 mode which uses 18650 battery.
I have ordered one type AW 18650, 1600Mah, @£11.99 .
Are there other batteries which are safe, but at less cost ??. suggestions please.
Also I now realize I need a battery charger, again which one, cost is important, suggestions please.

Also my thanks to every one who welcomed me to this forum, sorry i have not replied to each one.

Kind regards to all.

jeffc.

The XTAR SP2 is highly regarded as a reliable battery charger...

I have one myself, and although not cheap is one I haven't managed to kill yet (and I kill loads of chargers).
For cheaper batteries try reading this thread

Edit: Oops... Sorry the charger should have been the WP2 - Not the SP2, new link added.

This is the battery I bought with my ego mo, it's fine, does the job, but I doubt if it really is 2200mAh

I have been using this charger for months, it gets good reviews

the 2000mAh one should fit that mod

Best battery supplier is probably Tochy, aka big_f_d_d who sells on ebay. A couple of months back I got two 2250mAh 18650 batteries for £11-99 from him, but they have nipples, which you don't want. Dunno what he does without.

At the time Trustfire did the best value safe chargers.
