CGR18650CH Protected?

[Deleted]

I thought these batteries were unprotected, but in my search to find out if they'd be suitable for a mech, i found a post on ECF saying they are protected? and a website stating they are protected as well?

As far as I know they are a chemically protected cell similar to IMR.

No protection circuit but constructed in such a way as to limit the risk of thermal runaway.

That is what I read too.
Best of both worlds battery. Unprotected so your high voltage mods work and protection for your mechanical mods.

Better than protected in my opinion :

digiw0rx They're not protected, virtually all IMR even ICR batteries have a temperature cutout fuse, but a true protected battery has a PCB which stops the battery being over charged (any good charger will also prevent this) over discharged, & over current, all of which can cause a lithium battery to become unstable & go thermal (venting, spitting out high pressure gases) which you don't want 5/6 inches from your face, cos that's the way it's going to be forced unless you have it in a death grip, if you want to keep your face.
A protected battery also protects against shorts, but any electronic mod, even a vamo will do pretty much all of the above, so will a kick.

You can buy protected pannies but because of the extra PCB they tend to be about 4.5mm longer & therefore too long for most mech mods, they also always have a distinct black band round the bottom, in fact virtually all unprotected 18650 + kick are to big. I pesonally would never use an unprotected battery (without PCB) in a mech mod without something like a kick, so because of that you tend to be limited to 18500, unless of course you like the thrill of vaping a potential pipe bomb. . . . sorry

I've seen that above video before, no bang i won't be taking a mech mod out with me with an unprotected battery, just playing with around the house
